An impressive modern five bedroom coastal home with magnificent views across to Falmouth Bay and beyond
Set back on a private road, beyond St Mawes Castle and in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, Carn Tommen is a commanding architectural eco home built in 2011 by the current owners.
This impressive residence has been thoughtfully designed with rooms boasting far reaching panoramic sea views across the Carrick Roads Estuary towards Falmouth Bay, Pendennis Point and beyond.
Electronic thermostats, air source heat pumps and underfloor heating, along with LED lights, expertly planned by a lighting designer, make this a truly environmental home. Rainwater is harvested and recycled.
Ground Floor - A nautical porthole door, past a wall of glass blocks, opens into a large slate floored reception hall. Oak clad stairs with glass balustrades and integrated wall lighting create a feeling of calm and serenity, inviting you upwards to the main living area and further on to the principal suite.
At the end of an inner hallway is a good-sized bedroom with ensuite. Steps down lead to two further bedrooms and an additional versatile room currently used as a second reception. These rooms all have access to the wraparound front terrace. There is also a cloakroom and family bathroom.
To the rear is a utility room with sink, space for washing machine and tumble dryer and coat hooks. A large airing cupboard houses two water tanks and an additional cupboard, two heat exchange units.
First Floor - This light filled open plan room has bifold doors opening onto a large private decked terrace, making the most of the elevated position. Discreet wire fencing and a sedum roof over the room below give uninterrupted views of the Estuary.
The light kitchen to the rear has two ovens, granite worksurfaces and bespoke glass splash backs. A peninsular with bar seating is the perfect place to enjoy a morning coffee while watching the boats sail by.
Second Floor - The principal suite has an airy hallway with Velux windows. From here is a versatile reception room or study, a dressing room with fitted wardrobes and a stylish bathroom with bath and separate shower. The principal bedroom with apex ceiling has full length windows enjoying the most magnificent views.
Gardens and Exterior - Much of the outside space is to the front of the property, with parking for several cars and a single garage with electric door. Steps lead up to the front door and to a paved south facing terrace, which also wraps around to the side.
Opposite is a grassed area with mature planting, beyond which is the Estuary. The private beach is reached by a pathway at the end of the road, accessed only by the residents in Castle Drive.
Steps behind the property give pedestrian only right of way to the residence behind Carn Tommen.
