Description

The House - An exceptional detached property of almost 6,500 sq. ft. on Sea Road, one of Cornwall’s most sought after clifftop private roads.

Built by the current owners just under 10 years ago to an exceptionally high standard the property offers spacious and flexible accommodation.

The games room, which is above the garage, has a partially vaulted ceiling wide sliding windows with fabulous views out over the bay. This is a spacious room which currently serves both as a gym and games room with space for a pool table, varying pieces of gym equipment and two wall mounted TV’s. Three further doors lead off the reception hall, to the left the sitting room, to the right the cinema room and ahead the kitchen family room. Double doors open to the sitting room which is dual aspect with two sets of French doors one set leading out to the garden and the other to the loggia. There is a modern wide gas fire with limestone surround. The cinema room has an electric drop down screen, bespoke lighting and two banked rows of luxury leather recliners with armrests and a shared drinks shelf. It is soundproofed and also benefits from surround sound. Floor to ceiling double glass doors open in to the kitchen family room. This room is very much the heart of the home.

To the rear of the room a door opens in to a lobby area which has access out to the pathway to the side of the house, two storage cupboards, a bathroom and stairs leading up to the self-contained wing.
