2 bedroom detached house for sale

Perched in an enviable elevated position, Giants Hedge enjoys some of the finest views in Lerryn. Overlooking the tidal River Lerryn and the enchanting Ethy Woods beyond, this individual home offers peace, privacy and an ever-changing natural backdrop that truly captures the beauty of this sought-after village.

Upon entry, one is welcomed into the heart of the home, a series of bright, open-plan living spaces designed to make the most of the stunning outlook. Immediately to the right lies a charming viewing gallery, a peaceful spot to sit and admire the uninterrupted scenery through its original windows. The open-plan kitchen, dining and living space follows, providing a sociable and versatile area ideal for both relaxing and entertaining. The kitchen has been modernised in recent years, featuring solid bespoke granite worktops, generous cupboard space and modern integrated appliances. Adjacent to the kitchen is a useful walk-in larder and a separate utility area with plumbing for a washing machine and dishwasher for added convenience.

The dining area, central to the main living spaces, offers ample room for a large dining table which is perfect for hosting family gatherings or dinner parties. To the side, a private study provides flexibility, ideal as a home office or equally as a characterful home bar. The spacious living room completes the main living area and truly showcases the home’s extraordinary position. A wall of newly fitted bespoke windows floods the room with natural light while framing panoramic views across the river, village and surrounding countryside. Bespoke frameless glass doors take full advantage of the river views and fully open directly to the patio, encouraging alfresco dining and outdoor enjoyment in the warmer months. A stone fireplace with wood-burning stove adds warmth and character, creating a cosy retreat during the winter.

The ground floor also hosts a well-proportioned double bedroom with a recently modernised en-suite, featuring a walk-in shower, WC, basin and LED mirror. This bedroom also enjoys the same amazing views across Lerryn that make this property so special. A separate W.C is located off the hallway for guests’ convenience. The second part of the hallway features built-in wardrobes, creating a walk-through dressing area that leads to the staircase. Upstairs, the master bedroom enjoys vaulted ceilings and multi-aspect windows that fill the space with light. The river views from this room are simply spectacular. The adjoining en-suite bathroom has been beautifully finished with a freestanding feature bath, walk-in shower, WC, basin and illuminated mirror.

Externally, Giants Hedge continues to impress. The gardens, set predominantly to the front of the property, cascade gently down the hillside, offering a series of tranquil areas to enjoy the outdoors. The current owners have thoughtfully designed walkways through the garden, leading towards the village and river below. The elevated patio offers a perfect space for alfresco dining or simply soaking in the scenery, views that locals often describe as the best in Lerryn. A detached workshop and single garage provide excellent storage and future potential. Planning permission is currently in place for the change of use of the existing garage to a holiday let or annexe, and for alterations to the parking bay, offering buyers an exciting opportunity for additional income or multi-generational living. Three private parking spaces are also included.

This is a rare opportunity to acquire a truly individual home in one of Cornwall’s most enchanting riverside settings. Early viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate the unique charm and breathtaking views that Giants Hedge has to offer.
