Description
Poldalla is a striking, architect-designed contemporary residence, thoughtfully conceived to combine cutting-edge eco performance with refined, light-filled living. Set within a peaceful and highly desirable rural position in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, the property enjoys far-reaching countryside views that evolve beautifully with the seasons, alongside a rare sense of privacy and tranquillity.
Built approximately ten years ago by a respected local builder, the property has been crafted to exacting standards, with a clear emphasis on durability, sustainability and ease of maintenance. Arranged over three floors and served by a lift, the accommodation is both highly versatile and effortlessly accessible.
A key feature of the home is the exceptional quality of natural light, with expansive glazing and carefully considered orientation creating bright, uplifting interiors throughout the day. The principal living space is arranged in an open plan format, seamlessly connecting the bespoke kitchen, dining and lounge areas. Large bi-folding doors open onto the wrap-around sun terrace, creating a wonderful sense of flow and making the space ideal for entertaining family and friends.
The bespoke kitchen forms the heart of the home, complemented by generous dining and lounge areas that are ideally suited to both everyday living and entertaining. The overall aesthetic is clean, contemporary and highly functional, underpinned by quality materials and finishes. The kitchen is particularly well appointed, offering extensive storage including an abundance of pan drawers and bespoke cabinetry, designed for both practicality and visual appeal.
The bedroom accommodation comprises three well proportioned double bedrooms, all benefiting from their own en-suite bath or shower facilities, including a luxurious principal suite with dressing area.
On thr Ground Floor is a good-sized office space. The integrated garage is notably generous in scale, designed to accommodate two vehicles or alternatively serve as a boat store, providing an excellent lifestyle feature for coastal living. The plant room offers further practical benefits, with ample storage alongside the home’s mechanical systems.
Self-Contained Unit
Part of the former garage has been thoughtfully converted into a fully self-contained unit, comprising a kitchen living area, double bedroom and en suite shower room, with its own private entrance. This versatile space is ideally suited for guest accommodation, holiday letting or multi-generational living.
Eco Credentials & Construction
Constructed using traditional methods with a robust and low-maintenance finish, the property incorporates a comprehensive suite of eco-friendly technologies. These include a solar-collecting zinc roof membrane, designed to generate electricity and hot water, a private borehole water supply, private sewerage treatment plant, heat recovery ventilation system and high-performance insulation throughout. Deep eaves on the south elevation reduce solar gain during warmer months, enhancing comfort and efficiency.
The Gardens & Grounds
The landscaped terraced gardens have been designed with both ease of maintenance and visual impact in mind. A standout feature is the expansive wrap-around sun terrace, directly accessed from the lounge via five-panel folding doors, finished in matching ceramic tiling to create a cohesive indoor-outdoor environment. The gardens provide a high degree of privacy while framing the far-reaching countryside views, offering multiple seating areas from which to enjoy the changing light and sunsets.
A Villeroy & Boch hot tub is included within the sale and perfectly positioned to take in the sunset, offering a memorable setting for relaxed evenings and entertaining.
In addition, directly in front of the property is a further area of garden extending to approximately 0.25 acres, currently rented by our clients. It is understood that this arrangement may be available to continue, subject to agreement. With the owner’s consent, a substantial timber storage building and access drive have been installed. This additional land provides both excellent amenity space and a natural haven for wildlife, enhancing the overall setting.
The Views
From the principal rooms and terraces, the property enjoys captivating panoramic views across unspoilt Cornish countryside, with a prized west-facing aspect ensuring spectacular sunsets and an ever-changing natural backdrop.
Additional Information
There is a lapsed planning permission (2020) for the construction of a garage/store beneath the lawned area to the front right of the property. This may be capable of reinstatement, subject to the necessary consents. Further details can be found on the Cornwall Council Planning Portal under application number PA20/01598.
