Chilsworthy, Gunnislake, PL18

SITUATION AND DESCRIPTION

Occupying an enviable position in the sought-after Cornish village of Chilsworthy, adjacent to the local village pub, this substantial detached family home enjoys breathtaking panoramic views across the Tamar Valley and is surrounded by beautifully established gardens that create a truly special setting.

The property’s greatest attraction is undoubtedly its stunning outlook, with far-reaching countryside views providing a constantly changing backdrop throughout the seasons. Equally impressive are the mature gardens, thoughtfully cultivated over many years to offer a wealth of colour, texture and interest. Winding pathways lead through hidden corners and secluded seating areas, creating a haven for wildlife and an idyllic retreat for keen gardeners and nature lovers alike.

Approached via a gravelled driveway providing parking for several vehicles, the property benefits from a detached former single garage which has been converted into a versatile studio space. Fully insulated and equipped with power and lighting, it offers excellent flexibility as a home office, artist’s studio, gym or hobby room, whilst retaining the potential to be converted back into a garage if required. Large windows make the most of the wonderful views, creating an inspiring space in which to work or relax.

The accommodation is arranged over two levels. Entering the property, a welcoming entrance hall provides immediate access to a utility room and shower room. The hall continues through to the principal accommodation, including a modern fitted kitchen with a range of contemporary units, which in turn leads to a useful side porch providing additional storage.

The living room is particularly impressive, being of generous proportions and enjoying a dual-aspect outlook. There is ample space for both sitting and dining areas, whilst patio doors and windows to the rear perfectly frame the magnificent valley views. From here, doors open onto a large elevated balcony which spans the rear of the property, creating an exceptional entertaining space and the perfect vantage point from which to enjoy the surrounding landscape. Steps descend directly from the balcony into the gardens below.

Also on this floor are two generously sized double bedrooms and a family bathroom.

The lower ground floor provides a further two double bedrooms. The principal bedroom is especially spacious and benefits from a dressing room together with direct access to a porch and onwards into the garden. A separate WC serves this floor, whilst access is also provided to a substantial cellar extending the full length of the property, offering excellent storage space and considerable potential for a variety of uses.

The gardens are a true highlight of the property and have been lovingly created to provide year-round interest and a wonderful sense of discovery. To the rear, the grounds begin with a beautifully planted woodland-style garden, rich with mature shrubs, specimen trees and an impressive collection of rare and subtropical plants. This enchanting area gently descends towards the main garden, where winding pathways meander through the planting, revealing hidden viewpoints and a secluded seating area tucked away amongst the foliage.

At the lower level, the garden opens into three distinct areas. A sunny level lawn is bordered by an abundance of established planting, creating a colourful and private setting. Adjacent is a more formal seating terrace, ideal for outdoor dining and entertaining. A stylish Japanese-inspired pergola provides an attractive division between this space and a gravelled garden area with raised beds and a useful shed, which benefits from power and is currently connected to Wi-Fi.

A third, more secluded section of the garden provides an additional hidden retreat and incorporates a charming open-fronted outbuilding, further enhancing the versatility and appeal of these remarkable grounds.

Combining flexible accommodation, outstanding views, a detached studio and truly exceptional gardens, this is a rare opportunity to acquire a unique lifestyle property in one of the Tamar Valley’s most desirable village settings.
