The whimsical feel of this home is palpable – it’s the kind of space that enriches daily living with its artistic beauty. And with views across the historic harbour of Charlestown, this is the perfect setting for an immersive retreat by the sea. Sheltered by sculpted gardens, this Georgian Grade II listed villa has all the qualities of an artist’s sanctuary. With an eye for exceptional design and craftsmanship, the owners have styled each room with objects that inspire a sense of wonder and curiosity. And wherever you find yourself in this home, there’s something beautiful to admire. From preparing your morning coffee in the kitchen to reading by the window, there’s a warmth and depth to this villa that makes you want to settle in and stay. No doubt the sea views will inspire you to explore – it’s just a short walk to the beach and you’ll find a lovely cafe, deli, pub and wine bar around the quay in Charlestown. And if you feel like exploring the surrounding countryside, the Eden Project and the lost gardens of Heligan are less than a twenty–minute drive away. And when the sun begins to set over the horizon, you’ll love walking into... this charming home – the oak dining table is a special place to gather for a candlelit dinner.
