Fabulous family home in the heart of Polzeath, completed in 2021 to a luxurious standard.

Description

The exterior of Lohis Beach House sets a stylish standard that gives it smart distinction, even in the recently modernised centre of Polzeath village. The minimalist design is complemented by spiced oak cladding, dark steel door and window frames with contrasting white rendered top section and glass balcony.

Recessed from the parking area, the front door opens onto a hall with storage space for bikes and buggies, and stairs ascend to the first floor alongside a gorgeously colourful tropical plant- themed mural, with a wall mounted surfboard storage rack.

The first floor opens to an impressive kitchen and open plan living room with dining area and balcony to the rear.
The kitchen is of German design, with integrated high-quality appliances and an extensive stone worktop and island, maximising the practical layout and contemporary flourishes, such as digital message projection onto the floor (e.g.cycle time remaining) and LED soft worktop lighting. A beautiful set of bespoke glass light fittings, made in Prague, will remain above the kitchen island (and elsewhere in the house, such as the stairwell to upper floors and the bathrooms).

The plant room, accessed from the kitchen, shows the technical sophistication of this home: as well as super-efficient water supply and heating (underfloor on all levels) systems, with zone controls, there are sprinklers on all floors, wi-fi boosters, Sky built into all floors and Sonos sound on the first floor.

The living room, cosy with a wood burner on a winter’s day, is a beautifully versatile space, using natural light from a large overhead roof light and bifold doors opening to the south facing balcony, extending the luxury of space throughout this level. A hot tub and comfortable seating make this a very inviting, peaceful spot.

A striking feature of the interior design is the high level of craftsmanship in details such as the feature wall panels of flat fold oak and built in storage and furniture. Karndean flooring has been laid throughout and all oak doors are fireproof.
Beyond the kitchen is a cloakroom and the ‘safe passage’ back to the first landing, through a well organised, fitted boot/shoe/coat storage room.

Oak stairs lead to the two double bedrooms, shower room and balcony of the second floor. The larger bedroom has a beautifully fitted en suite bathroom and floor to ceiling storage. The second bedroom is slightly smaller, but also has excellent storage and built in entertainment and media system as found in all the bedrooms. Adjacent, is the excellently appointed shower room, attractively tiled.

The second balcony, opening to the landing via corner bifold doors, takes advantage of the southern aspect as does the one below, but here steel bars integrated into the frame of the house are in place to support a swing seat, which would enhance the enjoyment of the private view over the southern valley, with Shilla Mill and the Point in the distance. Planters surround the balcony, with succulents and trailing plants.
The third floor is entirely taken up with the spacious principal bedroom suite, a delightful, light space. The super king size bed is built in, as is plentiful storage. The beautifully fitted bathroom has a deep, freestanding, contemporary bath, slate tiles and sensors for muted night-time lights. The entire width of the bedroom has the third balcony, providing a great view with the additional bonus of sunsets over the bay in the summer. The beach is just a few steps away. To the left, Tristram cliff rises towards the open sea and ahead is the cliff path to Hayle Bay, Baby Bay and Pentire Head.

An off-street parking space and bin store are at the entrance and a high wall divides Lohis Beach House from the adjoining property.

Location

Beloved by generations of residents and visitors, Polzeath is one of Britain’s foremost beach holiday destinations: many would say the best! This results from the combination of a beautiful sandy beach, laid back beach village feel and ideal conditions for learning to surf.

The beach itself is enormous at low tide, extending around half a mile in all directions. For swimming, Polzeath is one of the safest beaches along this stretch of coast with its gently shelving sand and seasonal lifeguard cover. Stepper Point stands sentinel at the far side of the estuary and Pentire Head protects the bay to the north. The southwest coast path passes directly through Polzeath and the headland, managed by the National Trust, provides stunning walking routes open to magnificent ocean and coastal views.

Surf shops, cafés and restaurants, a supermarket, a boutique and art gallery make up the commercial centre of the village and this is where we find Lohis House, above Vanilla (who wouldn’t want to live next door to an ice cream shop?!).
N.B. Solid concrete prevents all noise between the shop and the accommodation.

Square Footage: 1,804 sq ft
Leasehold with approximately 999 years remaining.
