Perrancoombe, Perranporth

A beautifully realised, bespoke-design, contemporary eco-home with detached double garage/workshop and self-contained studio apartment.

Overview - Set within beautiful terraced gardens at the end of a quiet residential no-through road in the verdant Perrancoombe Valley, The Greenhouse is a truly unique bespoke-designed contemporary eco-home. Constructed by the current owners in c.2000 and incorporating a range of high-quality natural materials and finishes both inside and out, the property offers stylish open-plan living accommodation, arranged over two floors, with primary living areas oriented towards the generous southerly-facing gardens and superb rural surroundings. A large detached garage/workshop is positioned to the front of the property with a self-contained one-bedroomed studio apartment above. The property sits in a peaceful and private location surrounded by rolling fields and woodland, and is a little over one mile from the bustling coastal village of Perranporth.

The Property - From the spacious driveway/parking area a gravelled footpath leads to a wooden staircase and elevated timber deck with views over the gardens, adjacent woodland and countryside. A screen door opens into a small entrance porch/boot room, with glazed panel roofing and main entrance door. The principal open-plan living space combines both sociability and intimacy and has been arranged to make the most of the property’s southerly-facing outlook with French doors opening onto the delightful raised sun deck and the gardens and woodland beyond. Bespoke fitted shelving and a freestanding log burner ensures the space retains its comfortable, homely ambience whatever the season. The kitchen has a good range of cupboard space and useful pantry/storage, with additional white appliances and workspace offered via a separate utility/WC. A custom-made staircase leads to the first floor sitting room and work area, with vaulted ceiling and additional fitted shelving and storage. Elsewhere on the first floor, there is a well-appointed family bathroom and the dual aspect principal bedroom with walk-in wardrobe. As to be expected with a property of this kind, sustainability and energy efficiency have been prioritised throughout. The house has been highly insulated and is equipped with a large bank of solar thermal roof panels providing a sustainable source of hot water. To the side of the property three former industrial juice vats have been refashioned to serve as rainwater butts, providing ancillary water for the gardens.

Gardens, Grounds And Outbuildings - The Greenhouse blends harmoniously into its environment, with sympathetic natural colours and materials melding seamlessly with the property’s verdant, tree-lined backdrop. The gardens combine formal lawns and flowerbeds with wild areas, divided by mown pathways and low stone terrace walls. The large garage/workshop sits towards the north-western perimeter of the plot and benefits from power and lighting. A self-contained one bed studio apartment with kitchenette and shower room/WC would be suitable as overspill guest accommodation or for wider lettings purposes, subject to appropriate permissions.

Situation - Starting towards the south-western edge of the bustling coastal village of Perranporth on the North coast of Cornwall, the Perrancoombe valley runs for just over a mile between Perranporth and the small hamlet of Carnbargus, near St Agnes. Valued by residents, walkers and nature lovers alike for its natural beauty and tranquility, the area combines both the peace and seclusion of the country with the best of the Cornish coastal lifestyle. Perranporth itself contains a wide range of shops, restaurants and amenities and is justifiably famed for its glorious three-mile long surfing beach.
