3 bed detached house for sale

Kellow, Looe, Cornwall PL13

Fantastic two/three bed eco-home set in over 1.6 acres of gardens and grounds and enjoying spectacular sea views.

Nestled within one of Cornwall’s most sought-after coastal settings, Pine Cottage is a truly special residence that combines contemporary eco-conscious design with the timeless beauty of its natural surroundings. Commanding an elevated position above Kellow and Plaidy, this private sanctuary enjoys uninterrupted sea views and exceptional privacy with in excess of 1.6 acres of landscaped gardens and enchanting woodland.

Thoughtfully designed by Custom Homes using their own Structural Insulated Panels. With sustainability in mind, the home boasts a low carbon footprint, with features such as an air source heat pump providing underfloor heating, solar panels for hot water, a private borehole, and biodigester drainage – allowing for both environmental stewardship and reduced utility costs.

Arranged across a single level, the accommodation is beautifully light and spacious. A welcoming entrance hall leads through to an expansive open-plan living space with a well-appointed kitchen, dining area, and sitting area warmed by a wood-burning stove. French doors open onto a large south-facing terrace, perfect for al fresco dining while enjoying the magnificent coastal panorama.

A further reception room – also with a wood burner and direct terrace access – offers flexibility as a third double bedroom or home office. The principal bedroom suite is a particularly generous double with en-suite shower room and French doors to the terrace, accompanied by a second double bedroom and a stylish wet room. A utility room, larder and separate cloakroom complete the layout.

There is excellent potential to extend the accommodation either externally or into the roof space, subject to the necessary permissions. It is worth noting that the loft is already partially converted with flooring, lighting and electrics in place.

The Grounds:
A sweeping, gated driveway provides ample parking and leads to the front terrace and principal entrance. The grounds are a true delight: Expansive lawns, a large polytunnel, fruit cage, vegetable beds and an enclosed area previously used for small livestock, to support a more self-sufficient lifestyle. The ancient bluebell woodland is a rare and magical feature, complete with a handcrafted treehouse nestled among the trees—ideal for families or simply those seeking peace and seclusion in nature.

Location:
Pine Cottage lies within the prestigious and peaceful beachside enclave of Plaidy and Kellow, just a short walk from two beaches and the spectacular South West Coast Path. The surrounding coastline is partly under National Trust stewardship, preserving its natural charm and wildlife.

Nearby Looe offers a working fishing harbour, vibrant local community, boutique shops, artisan eateries, and a branch-line railway connecting to London Paddington via Liskeard. Local amenities at the Barbican include schools, a post office, bakery, and more. For sailing and boating enthusiasts, deep-water moorings are available at nearby St Germans, Fowey and Saltash.

This stretch of Cornwall’s south coast is an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, with excellent access to North Cornwall’s surfing beaches, historic estates, golf courses, and the maritime city of Plymouth—complete with ferry links to France and Spain.

Summary:
Pine Cottage presents an increasingly rare opportunity to acquire a private and sustainable coastal home with mesmerising sea views, rich natural surroundings, and potential for self-sufficiency—all within minutes of Cornwall’s golden beaches and vibrant coastal life.
