The Property
Sunset House offers a rare opportunity to acquire approximately 1.25 acres of land just outside Polzeath, complete with a detached three-bedroom farmhouse and three outbuildings. Recently renovated, the farmhouse seamlessly blends modern family living with charming traditional features. At its heart, a spacious open-plan living and dining area provides an ideal setting for entertaining, with direct access to the garden, while the kitchen leads out to an enclosed gravelled garden - perfect for relaxed outdoor living. Upstairs, the bedrooms enjoy far-reaching views towards Polzeath and out to sea. There is planning to extend The Farmhouse, and the outbuildings further enhance the property’s appeal, with planning permission granted to convert them into separate dwellings.
Planning Permissions
the farmhouse (PA26/01169)
The main farmhouse also offers excellent scope for extension, with planning permission already in place to extend and create a four-bedroom home. The approved plans propose a thoughtfully designed entrance hall, along with a snug, home gym and W.C. On the ground floor. A new first-floor double bedroom, complete with dressing room and en-suite, would be accessed via a separate staircase. In addition, the scheme reconfigures part of the existing layout to form a generous principal suite, with a spacious dressing area, en-suite bathroom and far-reaching coastal views.
The outbuildings
Located within the grounds are three outbuildings all with approved planning permission:
Large steel barn (PA24/07498)
Positioned to the right of the entrance, this substantial steel barn benefits from planning permission for redevelopment, creating two separate dwellings. Both are designed with reverse living layouts, each with four bedrooms and an integrated single garage. The consent is subject to a main residence restriction.
Large stone barn (PA25/00619)
Located to the left of the entrance, this impressive stone outbuilding has planning consent for conversion into a single-storey, three-bedroom dwelling, centred around an open-plan living space. The consent is subject to a main residence restriction.
Ancillary barn (PA26/01168)
Planning permission has been granted to use the small barn as a workshop space that is ancillary to the farmhouse.

Outside
The property is set just outside New Polzeath. Gently sloping lawns, framed by mature shrubs and trees, create a peaceful and private setting.

A gravel terrace wraps around the house, offering ideal spaces for al fresco dining to both the front and rear. An external staircase rises from the rear terrace to the upper lawns and parking area. Positioned near the entrance is a substantial steel barn, complemented by two additional stone outbuildings within the grounds, all benefitting from planning permission for conversion.

Location
Polzeath is a highly desirable holiday and coastal village, with a vast expanse of sand, excellent surf break, and scenic coastal walks. From Sunset House, there is a pedestrian footpath through nearby Lundynant Caravan park leading right down to Polzeath Beach. You can also access the Southwest Coast Path if you head out towards the National Trust’s Pentire Point, and Baby Bay. Nearby in Rock and Daymer Bay conditions are ideal for sailing, water skiing and windsurfing, as well as the renowned St Enodoc Golf Club offering two excellent 18-hole courses. Polzeath is fortunate to have a range of good places to eat and drink including The Waterfront, The Atlantic Polzeath, tj’s and Surf Side, but there are also a wealth of excellent restaurants and pubs in the surrounding area, including The Mariners Pub in Rock, Restaurant Nathan Outlaw in Port Isaac, Rick Stein’s Seafood Restaurant and Paul Ainsworth’s No. 6 in Padstow. The ferry and water taxi make travelling to Padstow both enjoyable and easy. Most everyday shopping requirements can be met locally at the Spar or Flo’s Café & Deli, but the market town of Wadebridge, with an inspiring collection of independent shops, is only seven miles distant.
