3 Bedroom Detached House

PROPERTY

Awash with colour and injected with endless character and charm, is this impressive residence that could easily be an 'eccentric sea captain's home'.
 
Enter in to a most-captivating home that has been crafted through extensions to the original building; creating an absolute one of a kind residence in splendid surroundings. The kitchen/diner is almost all glass, and set against some exposed granite with original windows opened through to the sitting room. The kitchen is bright, and offers everything a social chef could need.
 
The sitting room is a space divided across two levels with the main space set around a freestanding multi-fuel stove and with high, vaulted ceilings - at one end is a small, raised viewing area, and the space as a whole has light hitting it from all angles. The openings in this room are adorned with ancient wooden lintels rescued from old Newlyn harbour.
On the upper ground floor is a charming double bedroom with a built-in storage cupboard and a door leading out to a decked, sunny roof terrace that has glorious views down the valley. Also on this level is a smart, modern  shower room.
 
At the opposite end of the sitting room, is the third bedroom, a room that is bound to appeal to anyone loving something a bit quirky. With space for a single bed and furniture, the current vendor has installed a bespoke, elevated bed that doubles the room's capacity!
On the lower ground floor, off a small hallway area, is the main bathroom - and this is a bathroom you will want to spend some time in. The walk-in shower has colourful mosaic tiles on the floor and the wall-mounted mirror is lit by illuminated seashells - there is a seperate bathtub clad in driftwood timber, obviously!
 
The master bedroom is triple aspect, large and boasts direct access to the lush garden via large double doors. You know a bedroom is a good size when the owner has a dining table and chairs as well as a lemon tree in the space - but it still feels roomy.
 
The gardens are undoubtedly one of many big selling features here, with a stream that runs through the garden, as well as a second stream marking the boundary; ensuring you are never far from the babble of running water amongst the subtropical surrounds. The stream is the source of the Nancherrow River, famed in the Rosamunde Pilcher novels.
 
At the end of the garden is a small bridge that leads across to a tiny islet, surrounded by greenery and with the streams running around it. A spiral staircase leads you up from the garden to the decked roof terrace from which you can enjoy some very peaceful valley views.
PLEASE NOTE: Kitchen appliances as well as some other items are included in the sale of this property, but the wood-fired hot tub is not.
