'Ferndale' is an intelligently designed, low energy, timber, aluminium and zinc cabin, bounded by traditional Cornish stone hedges and set within expansive, wild coastal habitats. The property has been sensitively developed considering every opportunity to reduce its potential impact on the environs to create a luxurious seaside bolthole that is an exemplary building model. The cabin has its own defined plot, with a picket gate and gently graded steps to the front door. The surrounding landscape contains other privately owned and individual cabins.

Inside - The gorse-yellow front door opens into a striking open plan living room which is zoned into arrival, kitchen, dining and living areas. This room is filled with the views of the sea through the aluminium framed, floor to ceiling windows; glittering waves, silhouetted headlands, white horses and dramatic skies. Every part and element of the room is designed to enjoy and emulate its stunning coastal context: The dining area is backed by a feature, rebated wall panel depicting the sparkling water. The half screen wall to the kitchen area allows views of the horizon while preparing lunch. The sitting area is oriented to watch the sun rise and fall; the ceiling profile and glulam beam profiles reflect the rolling waves. The room is well insulated and cosy. A Scandi style cylindrical wood burning stove provides a constant source of warmth, rarely requiring the need for electric radiators to heat the rooms. The deep grey kitchen with plenty of below counter and wall mounted storage has a range of fitted luxury appliances; a Neff fan oven, a Neff combi oven, a Neff induction hob, a contemporary white ceramic Elica extractor, a 3/4 height integrated fridge/freezer unit, an integrated AEG dishwasher and a beautiful gold sink and black tap. A pocket door to one side reveals a laundry/boot room which offers coat and wet suit hanging rails and accommodation for a washing machine and tumble drier and this room can also be accessed by a back door. To the other side of the kitchen is a large laundry and housekeeping cupboard. From the sitting room area, a wide, sliding door opens up to the bedroom suite, creating a light and airy studio room when the wall is open. The dark, engineered wood flooring runs seamlessly between the two rooms. The bedroom is designed to celebrate the night sky with a full height feature wall frieze that depicts the star filled view from the room on a clear evening. There are recesses either side of the bed that create alcoves for bedside storage and wall lighting. A cleverly designed double pocket door conceals a wardrobe in the dividing wall with hanging and shelving space. Another pocket door opens from the living space to reveal a unique and luxurious bathroom. The light filled space is wrapped by a magnified ammonite image creating a sumptuous marine colour palette. A double Lusso stone basin with black ironmongery, LED feature lighting, floor up-lighting and fabulous sconce lights add decadence to this room. A glass door from the wet room shower allows views of the sea and opens directly out onto the secluded hot tub deck and covered seating area.


Exterior - The gated path leads down to the property's front door and wrap around deck which is finished in dark grey porcelain tiles and matching Balau hardwood deck. The freehold property includes the hard standing around the property and a 3 x 12m strip below the southern wall to allow maintenance access for the photovoltaic panels. Balau fencing shelters and screens the eastern hot tub and sundeck. To the rear of the property is a hardwood backed, heated shower with marine grade stainless steel fixtures for washing off salt and sand after a trip to the beach. There are a number of storage systems externally, including a bespoke Balau gazebo with seat storage, integrated bin cupboards and woodstore in the stone retaining wall and an external dry lined cupboard for the heating and water pump system. The grounds beyond the decking reflect the natural coastal setting - including coconut scented gorse, blackthorn bushes and elegant foxgloves.
