Description
***An Exceptional Coastal Retreat – No Onward Chain - 4 Bedroom, Detached***
Welcome to Little Orchard—a truly rare opportunity to acquire a beautiful, architecturally designed Mid-Century Modern coastal residence set within an impressive 1.4-acre plot. Conceived by respected architect David Wall, this striking four-bedroom detached home offers total privacy and tranquility in one of North Cornwall’s most sought-after villages, less than a mile from the spectacular Holywell Bay Beach.
Tucked away and surrounded by expansive, mature gardens, Little Orchard is a nature-lover’s paradise. The grounds are a serene blend of rolling lawns, vibrant planting, flowering shrubs, and a hidden woodland area that gently slopes to the lower boundary—creating a peaceful, private sanctuary just moments from the Atlantic coast.
This 1960s coastal gem is rich with potential. Whether you’re seeking to sympathetically remodel the existing home or reimagine the space entirely, Little Orchard is an incredible canvas for a Grand Designs-style transformation. The architecture lends itself perfectly to bold contemporary extensions or stylish interior reinvention—think floor-to-ceiling glass, open-plan living, and indoor-outdoor flow.
Holywell Bay, just a 5-minute drive or a scenic walk away, is one of Cornwall’s most iconic beaches. Framed by dramatic sand dunes and flanked by the famous Gull Rocks, this expansive golden beach offers safe swimming, exhilarating surf, and stunning cliff-top walks along the South West Coast Path. It’s a popular destination for families, dog walkers, and nature enthusiasts alike!
Given the scarcity of properties of this nature coming to market, its enviable location, and development potential, Little Orchard represents an unmissable opportunity for those dreaming of coastal living with space, seclusion, and scope.
