Description
Meadowside enjoys a quintessential village setting in the heart of Gerrans, directly overlooking the cricket field and surrounded by rolling countryside. From here, the gentle rhythm of coastal living unfolds, with sandy beaches, the creek and scenic walking routes all within easy reach.

This is a home that captures the essence of Cornish character while delivering the comfort and style expected of modern living. Having been thoughtfully extended and renovated, the property now offers spacious, light-filled interiors with a distinct sense of quality and attention to detail throughout.

The property has evolved over time into a substantial and highly adaptable home, where traditional features sit comfortably alongside contemporary finishes. Reception spaces are well proportioned and flow naturally, creating an inviting environment for both relaxed family living and entertaining.

At the heart of the home, the kitchen/breakfast room has been tastefully updated, providing a practical yet stylish hub, complemented by a separate utility room. The sitting room, centred around a wood burning stove, offers a cosy retreat during the cooler months, while the dining room provides a more formal setting for gatherings.

The inclusion of a ground floor bedroom or study, alongside a shower room, enhances flexibility, making the layout well suited to multi-generational living or home working.

Upstairs, the principal bedroom enjoys a calm and private outlook, complete with its own en-suite shower room. Two further bedrooms are served by a well-appointed family bathroom, completing the first floor accommodation.

Outside
The west-facing rear garden is a particular highlight, designed to capture the afternoon and evening sun. A generous slate patio provides the perfect setting for outdoor dining and relaxation, while the lawned areas, greenhouse and summerhouse add both charm and practicality.

A former timber garage has been thoughtfully converted into a highly useful fully insulated cabin with shower facilities, ideal after days spent on the beach or for managing sandy children and pets.
To the front, driveway parking is available for several vehicles, and the property enjoys open views across the cricket field, enhancing its sense of space and connection to the surrounding landscape.
