Ideal Homes are delighted to have the opportunity to market this unique home. Located in an idyllic picturesque setting within the beautiful lake side village of Millbrook.

The charming Cornish village of Millbrook is located within the outstanding Rame Peninsula, an unspoilt stretch of coast and country with golden sandy beaches and historic fishing villages. The location is simply superb, and with easy access to Plymouth City or further into Cornwall, the area is forever popular across all generations looking to enjoy this hidden part of Cornwall. The village has many shops and amenities along with a primary school with links to nearby secondary schools. Moorings, boat storage and maintenance are available with local facilities, and the village has plenty of community run events throughout the year.

Tucked away, this private residence was crafted in 2005 by a talented local father and son builder team to the present owners’ design and a high standard of specification. Described by some as a colonial dwelling with a gothic twist, this expansive four-bedroom family home provides flexible accommodation to cater for different family needs.

It’s a warm home with a sunny aspect that lets in plenty of natural light throughout the day, has high performance double-glazed windows and external doors and incorporates underfloor heating on both floors to all rooms powered by a super-efficient ground source heat pump. This helps warm the fabric of the home so the floors are warm to the touch and the heat at ground level makes you feel really cosy during the winter months. It also saves the walls from space-hungry radiators. The owners have informed us that the total electricity cost per month is £220.52 all year round.

Upon entering the home, you are welcomed into a spacious, light and airy hallway with tiled flooring and an oak and tiled staircase leading to both upper and lower levels of the home. The gothic style of the property begins here, with the arched picture window to front and the vaulted ceiling with lantern roof light.

The stairs lead up to the first floor to a hallway with doors off to a separate WC, bedroom four, living space and storage cupboard housing controls for the first floor under floor heating system.

Bedroom four is a great sized double, with window to front and loft access. The separate WC has window to front, a low-level flush WC and wash hand basin.

Double doors open in to the expansive 29’ (9m) open-plan living area with an impressive gothic style Cotswold stone fire place with mantle over. The lounge, dining room and kitchen flow seamlessly with laminate oak flooring throughout. Triple aspect windows enjoying views of the grounds and doors opening on to a beautiful first floor pavilion which has tiled flooring, under floor heating, and full height double glazing enjoying impressive views over the private gardens, extending over the local Cornish countryside, Millbrook lake, the estuary and beyond.

This leads to the sheltered balcony that spans the width of the home, a fantastic space to enjoy views over the gardens year round.

From the lounge, a doorway leads to the master bedroom. A beautifully presented room, with dual aspect and French doors opening to the balcony. This room has the benefit of built-in furniture and a door leading to the en-suite. This room has floor to ceiling tiles, plus tiled flooring, with under floor heating. Comprising low level flush WC, corner bath, wash hand basin set in to vanity unit and a double shower enclosure with wall mounted shower.

The well equipped kitchen comprises a range of wall and base units and glazed display cabinets. All complemented by a stylish granite work top incorporating a breakfast bar. Stainless steel double sink with granite drainer unit and mixer tap over, with fitted electric and microwave ovens, dishwasher and inset electric hob over and hood.

The first floor has above-average ceiling heights in excess of 2 meters, giving the feeling of space. The concrete floors not only provide a solid foundation but also aid in soundproofing ensuring a peaceful and comfortable living environment.

To the ground floor, the living space continues with two further double bedrooms, one to the rear, which is currently being used as a sitting room with windows over looking the garden. The other double bedroom has windows to the side and fitted mirrored wardrobes providing fantastic space for a growing family or guests.

A handy utility room, which could also serve as a possible kitchen, adds flexibility so the ground floor could easily be used as a self-contained living space. Comprising a range of wall and base units complimented by contemporary work tops and tiled to splash back areas. Space for white goods, a stainless steel sink and drainer unit with mixer tap over. Windows to rear and door stepping out on to the garden.

An additional well-appointed family bathroom has an obscured window to front, with a low level flush WC, bath, wash hand basin set in to vanity unit and good sized shower unit. This beautifully presented room has tiling to flooring and walls.

An internal ground floor hallway has door to garage, and two large storage cupboards, one housing the controls for the downstairs underfloor heating.

The home benefits from a triple garage with double-width powered door, a laundry area, offering plenty of space for vehicles and storage. The bricked paved driveway can accommodate three cars and plenty of on-street parking is available immediately outside the front pedestrian gate.

The orangery is a ground floor garden room, with a beautifully planted Strelitzia (Bird of Paradise flowers), full height glazing, and door opening on to the outside space.

A particular feature of this truly ‘one-off’ home is its beautifully manicured gardens which encompass the property and are secluded by a Cornish stone wall. This private garden is not overlooked offering a peaceful oasis for a potential buyer. The garden has many seating areas, a wildlife pond and has a variety of fruit trees.

We strongly recommend viewing this delightful home to experience the sunny aspect, open views and tranquil location for yourselves.
