Rivermead, Treknow, PL34

Rivermead is a deceptively spacious, split-level modern beach house just moments from the sandy, surf-friendly and dog-friendly beach at Trebarwith Strand. Set in a prominent hillside position on the edge of the pretty hamlet of Treknow, this exceptionally light four double bedroom property enjoys far-reaching sea views, stunning sunsets over the cliffs and attractive inland rural views.

The current owner has carried out a comprehensive renovation and modernisation programme, creating a large, versatile and welcoming home. High-quality engineered oak flooring runs through much of the property, adding warmth and continuity throughout. With its integral swimming pool, two attractive terraces, and front and rear gardens, Jackie Stanley strongly recommends an internal viewing to fully appreciate everything this exceptional property has to offer.

A short driveway leads from the village road to a parking area and the integral garage, which has a remote-controlled up-and-over door. A lockable door from the garage opens into a secure glazed entrance lobby, where the central heating boiler is located. The front door to the main house opens into a spacious entrance hall.

Originally built as a bungalow, the house was later extended to include the two upper bedrooms and the indoor heated swimming pool. Most of the principal accommodation is arranged on the lower level, accessed from the hall. The home features two spacious double bedrooms, with the principal suite enjoying views over the rear terrace and garden, along with a private en suite bathroom.

The second bedroom is positioned to the side of the house and includes a large walk-in storage area. Also accessed from the hall are a family bathroom, a visitors’ WC and cloakroom, and a large coat cupboard.

The main living space is positioned at the front of the property to make the most of the far-reaching countryside and sea views. This impressive full-length lounge, kitchen and dining room is filled with natural light and features sliding doors opening onto the front terrace.

A freestanding wood-burning stove provides a striking focal point in the lounge area, as well as a cosy and inviting atmosphere. The contemporary kitchen is fitted with a stylish two-tone range of floor and wall units and drawers, complemented by quartz work surfaces and a large central island. A broad and well-lit staircase rises from the hall to the indoor heated swimming pool and continues to the upper floor, where there are two further bedrooms. One is particularly spacious and includes substantial walk-in storage, while the other has an en suite shower room.

The gardens and terraces at Rivermead are a particular feature of the property. Both the front and rear outdoor spaces are beautifully landscaped, private and secluded, with an abundance of mature shrubs and established planting. The front terrace, which is also accessible from the parking area, includes a secluded sunken seating area with a small pond. The generous rear garden overlooks the large and very private rear terrace, ideal for al fresco dining, and has sliding doors into the swimming pool room. There is also a lawned area with paved paths and a pergola. From much of the garden, the spectacular far-reaching views can be enjoyed to the full - none more so than from the roof terrace! Services to the property include mains water, electricity and drainage with an oil fired central heating system. EPC rating E. Council tax band E. Ofcom indicate ultrafast broadband is available.
