St Minver | North Cornwall

An exceptional five-bedroom detached home, recently completed in 2023 and extending to just under 3,100 sq ft. Built to a high specification by the highly regarded local contractor Andreas Construction, the house combines contemporary design with the warmth and character of natural granite and green oak, used both externally and internally, creating a home of real quality and character. The house is also notably energy efficient, with an EPC rating of B (89), together with an air source heat pump, solar thermal roof panels and underfloor heating.

A large entrance porch opens into an impressive and spacious reception hall, immediately setting the tone for the scale and finish of the house. At the heart of the ground floor is a superb kitchen / dining room measuring approximately 25’6” by 19’2”, arranged around a beautifully fitted kitchen with a large central island and generous space for both everyday family life and entertaining. Adjoining this is a useful utility room. The sitting room is equally impressive, extending to 22’1” by 13’10” and centred around a feature fireplace, with French doors opening directly onto the garden. Also on the ground floor is a well-proportioned en suite bedroom, giving the house excellent flexibility for guests, multi-generational living or those seeking single-level accommodation. Doors from the entrance hall also open into the integral garage and a ground floor WC.

The first floor provides four further bedrooms. The principal suite is a particularly generous room, measuring 16’1” by 15’7”, and enjoys the added benefit of a private balcony. There are two further en suite bedrooms, while the remaining bedrooms are served by a large family bathroom, giving the house a well-balanced and highly practical layout.

Externally, the house enjoys a south-facing position and benefits from parking for three cars together with an integral garage. While the garage is not large enough for a car, it remains extremely useful for storage, bikes, surfboards, sailing equipment or general ancillary use.

Outside, the property benefits from attractive enclosed courtyard areas, with flagstone-style paving extending around the front, side and rear of the house. The south-facing front elevation enjoys excellent sunshine throughout the day, while to the rear a pedestrian gate provides useful side access. A large brick-paved parking area offers ample space for several vehicles and leads directly to the garage.

Overall, this is a rare opportunity to acquire a newly built home of genuine quality in one of North Cornwall’s most desirable villages, combining scale, flexibility, energy efficiency and a very high standard of finish in an outstanding coastal setting. Please note that the property is subject to an occupancy condition requiring it to be used as the owner’s only or principal residence.
