Solid quartz worktops, an aga, and refined finishes create a space that is both highly functional and visually stunning, ideal for both everyday living and entertaining on a grand scale. Off the kitchen, a delightful walk-in pantry provides additional storage and practicality, seamlessly blending convenience with style.

The living and sitting rooms are generous, light-filled and rich in character, featuring classic 1930s bay windows, restored flooring and open fireplaces that bring warmth and charm to each space.

Cornwall

Cornwall, on England’s southwestern coast, is a region of breathtaking natural beauty, famed for its dramatic cliffs, golden beaches, and turquoise waters. Its coastline stretches for over 400 miles, offering everything from world-class surfing at Fistral Beach in Newquay to peaceful, picturesque coves like Kynance and Porthcurno. Beyond the beaches, Cornwall is rich in heritage and charm, with historic fishing villages such as St Ives and Padstow, the iconic St Michael’s Mount, and attractions like the Eden Project. Despite its coastal seclusion, Cornwall is well connected via the A30 trunk road, regular mainline train services to London, and flights from Newquay Airport, making it both a sought-after destination and a practical place to call home.
