Set within approaching half an acre of beautifully landscaped grounds on the outskirts of the charming coastal town of Looe, Windermere House is an exceptional detached family residence offering an enviable combination of space, privacy and versatility. Thoughtfully renovated by the current owners, this impressive home enjoys elegant contemporary styling alongside far-reaching countryside views with views of the sea beyond.
Approached via a private gated entrance, the property immediately conveys a sense of exclusivity. A generous gravelled driveway provides extensive parking for multiple vehicles and leads to a detached double garage, while mature planting and established boundaries create a welcoming and secluded setting.
Internally, the accommodation extends to an impressive and highly adaptable layout ideally suited to modern family living. A spacious and light-filled entrance hall sets the tone, leading through to a series of beautifully proportioned reception spaces. The elegant lounge enjoys delightful garden views and centres around a striking Cornish stone fireplace with slate mantel, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere.
One of the home’s defining features is undoubtedly the magnificent open-plan kitchen, dining and day room — an outstanding 540 sq ft entertaining space with vaulted ceilings and full-width bi-folding doors opening seamlessly onto the rear terrace and gardens beyond. Flooded with natural light, the bespoke kitchen is fitted with an extensive range of cabinetry complemented by solid timber worktops, a substantial central island with stone surface, and integrated appliances. The adjoining dining and sitting areas provide exceptional versatility for both relaxed family life and large-scale entertaining, all framed by views across the grounds.
Further ground floor accommodation includes a dedicated office, conservatory, gym with oak bi-fold doors opening into the lounge, utility room, cloakroom and a stylish shower room, offering excellent flexibility for multi-generational living or those working from home.
To the first floor, a spacious landing leads to four generous double bedrooms and a luxurious family bathroom. The principal suite enjoys elevated views over the gardens, surrounding countryside and out towards the sea, together with a private en-suite shower room. Bedroom two is particularly impressive in scale and benefits from dual-aspect views across the grounds and rolling countryside.
Outside, the beautifully landscaped rear gardens are a true highlight of the property. A broad sun terrace extends across the rear elevation, perfectly designed for outdoor dining and entertaining. Beyond, the gardens unfold into a wonderfully private haven with mature shrubs, specimen trees and a large ornamental pond. A charming pergola leads through to the productive lower garden, complete with vegetable plots, greenhouse, storage sheds and a small orchard. Backing onto open fields, this idyllic area offers enormous lifestyle appeal for keen gardeners, hobby growers or those seeking a peaceful semi-rural retreat.
Windermere House represents a rare opportunity to acquire a substantial and beautifully appointed family home in an exceptional coastal setting, combining refined contemporary living with the tranquillity of the Cornish countryside.
