Stepping inside this country home brings an immediate sense of warmth and comfort. It’s the kind of space that welcomes you to experience the inspiring beauty of Cornish living. Set across two acres, the owners have sensitively styled this Grade II listed building to feel both classic and modern. It’s the perfect setting for a country retreat – a place to relax and feel rejuvenated by the abundant views and charming details that make this home special. And whether you’re gathering around the table for an intimate dinner, soaking in the bath, or reading in the elegant reception room, the space is perfectly designed to enjoy quality time together whilst also savouring the atmospheric beauty of the setting. Outside, you’ll find a serene walled garden perfectly positioned to soak in the whimsical charm of this home. This is a wonderful spot to drink your morning coffee, read, gather for lunch or simply take a gentle stroll. And when the sea breeze inspires you to explore, the beautiful beaches of the south coast are less than a ten–minute drive away, whilst the rugged north coast of Cornwall is just twenty–five minutes away.
