5 bedroom detached house for sale

A rare opportunity to acquire a luxurious, three storey, coastal property that offers uninterrupted, multi-level views over the Fowey River and St Austell Bay

Description

'Seascape’ House is a spacious, luxurious coastal home with a stunning two and a half storey height arrival hall, offering an awe-inspiring, vertical vista of Polruan and Fowey villages with its picturesque harbour. A largely glazed western facade and part glass roof, complemented by sleek, reflective finishes, this residence effortlessly exudes coastal charm. It sits at an elevated vantage point, providing an almost aerial perspective of the harbour and this viewpoint graces most rooms within the house.

Skillfully designed, 'Seascape’ House harmonises contemporary luxury with its breathtaking surroundings, creating an inviting and upmarket hospitality experience.

The house is entered at second floor level via a solid, hardwood front door under a covered porch, framed by obscured glazing panels on either side. The hall is naturally lit from a vast wall of glass and roof lights above which reflect off the gloss tiled floors and glass gallery. A door to the right of the entrance leads directly into a guest double bedroom while a glazed gallery bridge links to two further double bedrooms. There is a built-in cupboard in the arrival hall with plenty of coat hanging space and to the left of the entrance is a door into the integral garage.

The three bedrooms on this floor all have built in wardrobes and luxurious en suite bathrooms, all fitted with high quality ‘Porcelanosa’ textured ceramics and fittings, each bathroom with a unique texture yet all united by their soft, natural stone hues and high-quality chrome fittings. Two of these bedrooms have large windows that enjoy the incredible views westwards over the river valley.

A central, stone clad feature wall runs vertically down through the house contrasting in texture with the wide, central hardwood staircase with its glazing balustrades and hardwood top rails.

Down a flight of stairs to the first floor, you will find the hub of the home; the main living spaces which openly flow through the building. To the right, the kitchen and dining area is filled with sun from large, glazed sliding doors that open out onto the expansive balcony, perfect for ‘Al fresco’ dining. The open plan kitchen area has been fitted with plenty of work top and storage space and there are a range of 'Siemens’ appliances including four ovens; two fan, one steam and one combination oven with two warming drawers, a large induction hob, a full height, catering grade double fridge/freezer system, an integrated dishwasher and a one and a half bowl stainless steel sink.

Light blue glass work surfaces and splash backs unite the kitchen area, terminating in a central breakfast bar counter that connects the kitchen and dining spaces.

On the other side of the central staircase, the living room has double aspect apertures with large aluminium sliding doors. The level is tiled throughout with oversized gloss finish pebble coloured porcelain tiles, making it feel spacious and smart.

Behind the stairs, a corridor leads back to a gorgeous cloakroom with beautiful wave etched stone tiles. There is also a large utility room opposite, with plenty of built in storage and spaces which include a washing machine, tumble dryer and secondary fridge freezer. The utility room has a stainless-steel sink and a partially glazed door to the side path leading up to the front entrance and down to the rear garden.

Descending another floor, to ground level, the surprises continue... To the rear of this floor is a games and media room which could also be used as a gym or music studio.

At the front of this floor are two, generously sized double bedrooms with sliding glass doors leading directly into the garden. Each bedroom has an en suite bathroom with a walk in shower with drench shower head fitting. The bathrooms are again finished with Porcelanosa surfaces and fittings with a range of complementary natural textures providing a luxurious, spa like ambience.

One of these bedrooms has a spa suite, accessed via a walk-through wardrobe, into an incredible bathroom with free standing bath and walk through shower corridor, behind a tiled room divider. A further portal leads into a double sink, toilet and bidet area before a final door leads into a timber lined sauna room with robing area.

The house is finished to an excellent decorative standard throughout; the bright and airy rooms seamlessly flowing from inside to out, with full height, glazed aluminium doors and windows creating a light and luxurious coastal ambience.

Exterior, gardens and garage - 'Seascape’ is accessed via a paved entrance drive, where there is parking space for five cars. A remotely controlled garage door opens up to provide covered access directly into the top floor of the house. The house sits to the east of the plot, with the main gardens and terraces laid out to the west of the house where the sound of waves and sea birds add to the coastal atmosphere. The garden is terraced into a series of level outdoor ‘rooms’ connected by short flights of steps and framed by Delabole stone retaining walls and mature hedges. Shrub and flower beds include palms, grasses, bamboos, herbs and sub-tropical plants creating a verdant, maritime themed setting to the property. From the parking area there is a gentle slope to the front door and a path leads around to the right hand side of the house. The rear garden has large areas of paved terrace, decking and level lawns which provide the foreground to an open view across the village and on to the heritage coast where tall ships and yachts can be spied entering Fowey Harbour.

There is subtle external wall lighting around the house, creating soft wall washes at night, helping to avoid light pollution in this sensitive coastal location.

Location

'Seascape' is an impressive, triple storey, reverse level home with a largely glazed western elevation, framing far reaching views over the enchanting Cornish fishing villages of Polruan, Fowey and the heritage coast beyond.

The harbour is enclosed by stunning coastal landscapes which are renowned for their wildlife and heritage value, making the area a popular destination for visitors.

Polruan harbour with its historic quay and castle is a short walk from Seascape' and the south-west coastal path passes close by.
