If an architect dreamt of designing an exquisite house in an outstanding location, could this be it? A beautiful, modern, efficient home with captivating rural and estuary views.
Treveore, completed in 2012, is of cavity wall construction with cedar cladding and a Delabole slate roof. The quality of design and materials are apparent immediately. Triple glazed windows extend through both storeys and into the angle of the pitched roof, filling the interior with natural light, enhanced by pale ash hardwood floors and fittings.
A wide staircase with glass balustrade turns to a glazed half landing and then the upper floor. The impressive open plan kitchen/dining room is spacious and airy with the dining room's side windows affording natural light and bi-fold doors which open to a decked balcony and glass balustrade with spectacular views of Petherick Creek and the Iron Bridge, the Camel Estuary, Rock and Daymer Bay.
The contemporary kitchen is well equipped with integrated appliances, extensive storage units, an electric Aga, granite worktops, and a spacious central island with three sinks. A window to the south facing front and large roof lights flood the space with natural light. A partial wall separates the triple aspect living room, which has an inset wood burning stove.
A landing leads to a cloakroom and the principal bedroom which has floor to ceiling wardrobes and a spacious en suite shower room with a wide walk-in shower. From this lovely bedroom the full extent of the sea view is revealed with Pentire Head clearly visible.
The ground floor has two more large, attractive en suite king-sized bedrooms: one looking onto fields to the east and with bi fold doors to the sheltered terrace that extends along the seaward facing aspect. Also, there are two double built-in wardrobes with hanging space and shelving and an en suite bathroom and with freestanding bath and large walk-in shower.
Across the hall is the third double bedroom with a floor to ceiling window overlooking the pretty front garden and with an en suite shower room. This also opens to the utility/laundry room, fitted with appliances and storage units, with pleasant countryside views.
From here an inner hallway has the external door to the rear garden terrace and three large storage cupboards, one housing the hot water tank (also the airing cupboard), the next housing the central heating boiler and the third is shelved.
Finally, the study/home office is aligned with the wide hall and the front entrance and allows the first glimpse we see of the fabulous view on entering the house. This is a beautiful workspace, glazed on three sides with sliding doors to the terrace. Fitted bookshelves line the walls. Many features of this house are bespoke, creating an original and consistently styled home.
The Studio sits prettily in its own private garden and shares the same far-reaching views across farmland and estuary as the main house. Completed in 2013, this is a stylishly designed modern cottage.
A wide front door opens to a hall with the living room to the right, a lofty room with a vaulted ceiling and double height window incorporating sliding doors to the garden and patio. A wide window to the side garden allows even more light. There is also a wood burner.
Adjoining is a twin bedroom with a west facing window and a shower room directly across the hall. The spacious kitchen /diner is also light filled and has sliding doors to a south facing suntrap patio. There is ample room for a family sized dining table and the fully fitted kitchen is well equipped with integrated appliances, including a Bosch oven and LPG hob.
The adjoining utility room is of a useful size and has the boiler for the underfloor heating. A door leads out to the rear garden.
Three large cupboards in the hall allow plenty of storage. Upstairs are two en suite double bedrooms. The first is a gallery overlooking the living room with a glass balustrade and has the beautiful view through the double storey window. The second large bedroom is dual aspect to east and south and has an en suite shower room. The upstairs rooms have conservation roof lights allowing an abundance of natural light into the upper floor.
Both houses are very well insulated, above building regulation requirements, and are fitted with LED and low energy light bulbs, many of which are dimmable. Hot water is supplied by an air-source heat pump. There is underfloor heating throughout with a programmable timer and zoned controls to every room. There are 16 PV panels on the south-facing roof.
The landscaped gardens are well considered. Paved terraces enable outdoor dining and relaxed enjoyment of the surroundings of each house, the studio cottage being particularly private with mature hedges. The balcony of the main house has stairs to the terrace below and the level lawned wrap-around garden. The front garden is neatly designed with a feature lily pond and attractive planting.
There is a well-sheltered vegetable and herb garden with raised beds and a greenhouse, garden shed, bin store and bike shed. Outside taps and garden lighting are located conveniently. Mature shrubs and trees, secure hedges and fencing protect and enhance the whole area, without compromising the spectacular views.
