Situated in the quiet hamlet of Gummow’s Shop on the outskirts of Newquay, this striking and spacious family home enjoys a wonderful semi-rural setting, surrounded by open Cornish countryside and farmland. Gummow’s Shop, steeped in local history and community charm, offers peaceful village living while maintaining superb connectivity to the wider region. The property sits conveniently on the A3058, placing the coastal town of Newquay within a short five-mile drive, while Truro and St Austell are both easily accessible for work, education, shopping, and leisure.

This location is ideal for families and outdoor enthusiasts alike. Just 2.5 miles away lies the enchanting Trerice Manor, a beautifully preserved Tudor National Trust property surrounded by tranquil gardens and walking trails. The stunning beaches of Lusty Glaze, Porth, and Tolcarne are all within easy reach, making this property perfect for those wanting to enjoy the very best of Cornwall’s coastline. Newquay Airport is approximately eight miles away, offering both national and international travel options, while excellent road links via the A30 make commuting and exploring the region simple.

The house itself is a modern and beautifully maintained detached residence, originally built in the early 2000s and more recently enhanced by a thoughtfully designed single-storey extension. From the moment you arrive, it’s clear that this is a home built with quality and attention to detail. A smart block-paved driveway, enclosed by timber-framed gates, sets the tone for what lies within.

Stepping inside, the entrance hall creates a lasting first impression with its elegant frameless glass and oak staircase—an architectural feature that immediately reflects the home’s contemporary style. The ground floor unfolds into a spacious, partially open-plan layout that balances sociable living with defined, functional spaces. The main living area includes a generous sitting room with a feature log-burning stove, a dining space ideal for family meals or entertaining guests, and a sleek, high-specification kitchen. Designed around a central island, the kitchen features high-gloss cabinetry, durable stone worktops, integrated appliances, and even an instant boiling water tap for modern convenience.

The layout continues with a separate utility room offering additional storage and laundry space, with direct access to the integral garage which has an electric garage door. A ground floor cloakroom is located nearby, along with a well-sized double bedroom that lends itself perfectly to guests, older relatives, or even as a work-from-home space.

Upstairs, the sense of space and comfort continues. There are three further double bedrooms, each well-proportioned and filled with natural light. The master suite includes a private en-suite shower room, while the remaining bedrooms are served by a luxurious family bathroom complete with a freestanding roll-top bath—an ideal space to unwind.

Presented in excellent decorative order throughout, the property is both stylish and practical, combining a modern aesthetic with the comforts expected in a family home.

Outside, the rear garden enjoys a private, south-facing position and is designed for ease of maintenance. It’s primarily laid to lawn, bordered by fencing, and features a raised composite deck—perfect for outdoor dining, summer barbecues, or simply soaking up the sun in peaceful surroundings. The sense of privacy and calm here complements the countryside views and semi-rural charm of the location.

The property is offered with no onward chain and is now vacant, making it a rare turnkey opportunity in a highly desirable setting. Services include mains water and electricity, private drainage via septic tank, oil-fired central heating, and access to high-speed broadband (up to 1000 Mbps). Mobile coverage is available outdoors across all major networks, with limited reception indoors.

Whether you're seeking a forever family home, a countryside retreat near the coast, or a flexible property with room to grow, this beautiful home at Gummow’s Shop delivers a rare combination of space, style, and location in one of Cornwall’s most accessible and scenic areas.
