A superb family home in a beautiful location overlooking the Atlantic
Golden Burn is an attractive, seaside family home on a level site with a good degree of privacy from the road. White rendered and with a slate roof, it was originally constructed in 1925, but has been extended, modernised and meticulously maintained in the last thirty years by the current owners.
The front door opens into a glazed porch with a terracotta tiled floor, and adjacent nicely tiled wc. A wood floored hall has a warm and welcoming atmosphere and from it the triple aspect reception room extends towards the fabulous, unobstructed view of the coastline and ocean. Patio doors open to the wide terrace that extends along the seaward side of the property, facing south and west. An inset wood burner provides cosiness in the chillier months.
Also off the hall is the first of the double bedrooms, benefitting from the morning sun. There is an original fireplace, no longer in use, with the chimney blocked. The only point at which the neighbouring property joins Golden Burn is the other side of the chimney, due to the original builder adding an extension for family. Apart from the metre or so of party wall, there is no indication of any near neighbour at all, with privacy completely maintained by mature hedging.
The second double bedroom is also along the east aspect and has an attractive, modern en suite shower room which opens on the far side to the utility room, where there is the boiler and water tank cupboard and the back door out to the drive. The kitchen / diner is a large, bright room, with windows to the south and west, open to the coastline as far as Trevose lighthouse. The kitchen is fully fitted with integral appliances, including a gas hob and beech wood countertops. The floor is porcelain tiled. The dining space accommodates a family sized table. Glazed doors lead back to the hall where there is an office and good under stair storage. A bespoke oak staircase turns to the first floor and the principal bedroom, very spacious with a spectacular vantage point over the surrounding fields and clifftops due to large Velux windows set into the dormer roof, one of which incorporates railings forming a small balcony. The prettily tiled bathroom on this floor also has a Velux window, similarly the landing, allowing natural light over the stairwell.
The overall atmosphere of the house is light and airy, emphasised by pale décor and light wood fittings.
There is a single garage with a workbench, shelving and additional room for fridge / freezer etc. To the side is an excellent shower room with Belfast sink for washing wetsuits and beach gear, as well as a separate wc.
The garden is surrounded by a Cornish hedge and mature shrubs. The gated entrance from the coast road is paved and there is hard standing for parking at least three cars.
