4 The Property Recently completed with careful attention to detail, the property perfectly captures the essence of near beach side living and the contemporary lifestyle. The spacious house has versatile accommodation with the principal rooms commanding a fine outlook over the coastal waters of Whitsand Bay encompassing Rame Head in the east, the Eddystone Lighthouse and Looe Island in the west. Designed by the award winning architect Roderick James and constructed by a local artisan builder using reputable local craftsmen, the property incorporates numerous quality features throughout, boasts high levels of insulation, under floor heating via an air source heat pump, and a 6500 litre rainwater harvester for WCs and outside taps and is future proofed for the installation of solar hot water if desired. Set into the gentle coastal contour, the property is thoughtfully laid out with reversed accommodation, designed to allow garden access from both ground and first floor. The use of oak cladding and the extensive veranda with oak balustrading encapsulates the maritime setting. The entrance door leads from the 47 foot long granite paved veranda into the ground floor reception hall with staircase rising to the first floor and doors off to the bedroom accommodation. Communications Beach 230 metres Looe 6 miles Fowey 16 miles Plymouth 12 miles Exeter 59 miles (distances approximate) At first floor level the grand open plan living room/kitchen has windows allowing sea views through a full 180 o, exposed roof trusses and a partially glazed apex creating a fabulous yet comfortable space for family living and entertaining. Quad-fold doors provide a wide opening to the wrap around veranda/balcony. The superb and carefully planned German Alno kitchen has Silestone worksurfaces and boasts Neff appliances including an induction hob. Above the kitchen and utility room a gallery could provide a useful study or studio (with limited headroom). The wonderful atrium garden room has a dual aspect with two walls of glass and French doors opening on to the level and sheltered lawn. From the garden room a door opens into the master bedroom with en-suite and staircase rising to the mezzanine study/reading room with door and bridge allowing access to the garden. At garden floor level there are 3 further bedrooms one of which is en-suite, a family bathroom and playroom/media room or bedroom 5, depending on individual needs. The flexible accommodation allows for the north wing to have the potential for the creation of a self-contained annexe. Location The property is situated in an elevated position on a south facing hillside within the village environment only a short walk from the beach with slipway providing boat access/storage (by permit). Usual village facilities are all within walking distance and include a primary school, public houses, restaurants, church, beach café, doctors surgery and village store/post office. Similar facilities are available at St Germans, which also has a main line railway station providing an excellent commuter link with Plymouth (Plymouth to London Paddington 3 hours). The neighbouring village of Seaton also has a beach and beautiful Countryside Park with riverside and woodland walks. Additional local facilities include golf at Portwrinkle or at Looe Bindown. The South West Coast Path is accessed nearby providing boundless leisure opportunities with parts of the neighbouring coastline in the ownership of the National Trust. The beach offers the ability to keep and launch boats and has a long and interesting foreshore with a fascinating mix of rock pools and sand. The notable sailing waters of the area are favoured by yachtsmen and deep water moorings are available on the River Tamar at Saltash and at Fowey/Polruan. The village lies a relatively short drive from the A38 placing Plymouth within easy commuting range. The town of Saltash has a Waitrose store on its northern outskirts and the City of Plymouth offers an abundance of shopping, educational and recreational facilities centred around the historic and fascinating waterfront areas of The Barbican and Hoe. Plymouth also has a cross channel ferryport with regular services to France and Spain. 4
