A Brief History
Originally dating back to the art deco era in the late 1920' / early 1930's, Crossways was one of the original properties built on the eastern side of the village when the estate of Hugh Tredenham Spry commenced selling off individual building plots. Today, this bespoke totally modernised and restored luxury family sized residence is exceptional. It cleverly maintains the aura and appeal of the art deco era yet combines a precise balance of highly specified and tasteful bedroom and reception spaces. Crossways is a thoughtfully designed home which has been created by the owners of award-winning developers, Boo Homes, as their main home. It is designed to maximise the beautiful riverside surroundings as well as bringing the outside within from the beautifully landscaped private rear gardens.

The Views
The views from Crossways capture the peace and tranquillity of the Percuil River, with its numerous boat moorings and boatyards to the softness of National Trust countryside of the St Anthony Headland beyond.
