Description

Constructed in circa 2012 to an innovative and striking eco-conscious design, Chy Lyn is a contemporary home of exceptional quality, offering beautifully balanced and versatile accommodation arranged over two levels. Thoughtfully designed in a reverse-level configuration, the property maximises its enviable setting, with the principal living space positioned on the first floor to take full advantage of the far-reaching views across its remarkable gardens, lakes and surrounding woodland.



At the heart of the home lies an outstanding open-plan living environment, extending the full breadth of the property and fully glazed along the southern elevation. This spectacular space seamlessly incorporates sitting, dining and kitchen areas, all bathed in natural light and opening onto a broad balcony that further enhances the connection between the interior and the landscape beyond. The result is a truly impressive and highly sociable living space, perfectly suited to both everyday living and entertaining.



Throughout the house, a strong emphasis has been placed on quality, comfort and efficiency. High levels of insulation, combined with a water source heat pump and supplementary solar panels, contribute to low running costs, with the added benefit of a Feed-in Tariff income. The property is naturally warm during the winter months and intelligently shaded in summer, creating a comfortable year-round environment.
Internally, the specification is of a high standard, with features including oak flooring, an elegant oak staircase with glazed balustrading, underfloor heating with individual controls, a wired-in Sonos sound system, and a mechanical air circulation system. A lift provides ease of access between floors, ensuring the property is both practical and future-proofed. The accommodation is flexible in its arrangement, equally suited to family living or those seeking space to work from home, with the current owners utilising part of the ground floor as dedicated study areas.

Gardens & Grounds

The exterior of the property is as impressive and thoughtfully designed as the house itself, offering a superb balance of practicality, privacy and natural beauty. Approached via a well-enclosed forecourt, secured by timber fencing and a five-bar gate, the entrance provides an expansive gravelled area with ample parking for numerous vehicles, making it ideally suited to those with boats, motorhomes or additional leisure equipment. Raised dry stone borders, attractively planted with seasonal bulbs and specimen shrubs, create a welcoming and well-maintained approach, leading via paved steps to the sheltered entrance.



Complementing the forecourt is a substantial oak-framed double car port and garage/workshop, constructed beneath a pitched natural slate roof. This versatile space provides excellent storage and utility, with light and power connected, and is well suited to a variety of uses.
To the rear, the gardens unfold in a most spectacular fashion. Immediately adjoining the house is a broad paved and gravelled terrace, sheltered by the balcony above, creating an ideal setting for outdoor dining and entertaining. From here, the grounds extend into a beautifully landscaped environment, beginning with shaped lawns, a circular patio, and well-stocked borders, all interspersed with a variety of mature planting. A glazed summerhouse provides a tranquil vantage point from which to enjoy the surroundings, while pathways lead through areas of natural wet woodland, where a fast-flowing stream weaves through lush planting.



The grounds continue to reveal an exceptional and unique landscape centred around two substantial lakes, believed to have originally been created for a carp fishery. These are encircled by lawns and framed by established trees and shrubs, including willow, eucalyptus, tree ferns and a rich variety of ornamental species, creating a private and picturesque setting. Beyond the lakes, further areas include a productive garden with polytunnel and raised beds, as well as additional storage and log facilities.
A timber footbridge leads across to former spawning ponds and into a more natural expanse of woodland, which borders open farmland belonging to the neighbouring Enys Estate. The entire setting offers a remarkable sense of seclusion and immersion within nature.



Above, a broad first-floor balcony spans the rear elevation of the house, providing a superb vantage point from which to enjoy uninterrupted views across the lakes, gardens and woodland beyond. With glazed balustrading, external lighting and power, and direct access from the principal living space, it forms an integral part of the home’s exceptional entertaining provision.
