Description
This impressive country home, built in the 1930s and designed by notable architect Alfred Cornelius, sits atop a hill overlooking Portloe cove and commands breathtaking views of the surrounding countryside. The property has been sensitively refurbished and extended, retaining its original features such as the distinctive "eyebrow" window, deep bay in the drawing room, and low-level roof lines. The property boasts nearly 3 acres of land, comprising south-facing wooded garden terraces, a natural meadow, and a Cornish orchard. The house has a grand entrance hall with a storm porch, leading to a spacious drawing room with a large bay window and French doors opening onto a veranda. The kitchen features a British racing green aga and is adjacent to a utility room and walk-in pantry. The property also includes a self-contained annexe with its own kitchenette, sitting room, double bedroom, and en-suite bathroom. The annexe has separate entrances and was developed with access for all in mind. The property's exterior features a rendered, walled courtyard with parking for several cars, a single garage with a second garage and workshop, and a number of outbuildings. The beautifully maintained gardens include formal hedged gardens, a woodland garden, slate terraces, decking, and a main lawn, offering stunning views of the surrounding countryside and the sea.
