St. Columb, Cornwall

DESCRIPTION
Built to a high specification and thoughtfully enhanced by the current owners, this contemporary three-bedroom family home offers stylish, energy-efficient living within an exclusive development of just ten homes. A standout feature is the exceptionally large, level, west-facing garden—rarely found with a modern new-build—providing outstanding space for entertaining, children to play, gardening or simply enjoying the afternoon and evening sunshine.

To the front of the property is a double, brick paved driveway with a fenced garden bordered by hedges on either side. A level, step free, path leads to the front door. The entrance hall has space for a wardrobe or coat hooks and shelves and has a cloak room which has been attractively decorated. Doors lead into both the kitchen or sitting room. The contemporary, german handleless kitchen offers quartz worktops and integral Neff oven and induction hob, fridge-freezer, dishwasher and washing machine. Oak effect LVT flooring is attractive and hardwearing and runs through the entire ground floor. A breakfast island seperates the kitchen from the dining area which has French doors opening to the rear garden. The adoining sitting room also benefits from French doors leading out to the garden. This semi-open plan space flows well and is ideal for family living.

Heading upstairs, the staircase and upper hall have been attractively decorated with faux-panneling which has personalised this new home. There are three double bedrooms, one of which is currently used as an office. The principal bedroom has an en-suite shower room and a window overlooking the rear garden. There is a family bathroom upstairs with a fully tiled bath with shower over. Throughout the house the current owners have added California shutters to the majority of the windows.

Heading outside there is a patio area for al-fresco dining. The fully lawned garden is fenced and gated so is secure for pets. At the end of the garden there is a recently built large (13x12 foot) summer house which could be used as an art studio, office or simply for storage.

This home has been updated from its recent build and offers a fine home in immaculate condition ready for its new owners. It is well located on a small residential development of similar homes and bungalows on the outskirts of a popular and well provisioned village. For those looking for a low maintenance modern home with affordable running costs on a generous plot, this house should certainly be considered.

SURROUNDING AREA
The historic market town of St Columb Major is rich in heritage and steeped in local traditions. It is situated within 6 miles of the spectacular north Cornish coast that boasts a choice of beautiful sandy beaches at Mawgan Porth, Porthcothan and Newquay amongst others and some of the finest surfing spots in the country.

St. Columb was originally a linear settlement built on the main road running north-east to south-west with its relatively narrow streets and slate hung houses. The town’s medieval streets, ancient churches, and old coaching inns speak to a time when St. Columb was a centre of trade and local governance but has grown over the years and now offers great local amenities including a church, school, doctors surgery, banks, local shops, convenience stores, public houses, a hardware store and a variety of restaurants. St. Columb church has much history and is dedicated to St Columba, a local saint. The tower is a fine example of a fifteenth-century building, consisting of four stages with battlements and pinnacles.

For many years, nearby Padstow, St. Merryn, Harlyn Bay & Trevone (all approx 10 miles) have been top of the list of some of the finest coastal areas in Cornwall. The outdoor lifestyle is one of the main attractions for this part of the county with a vast selection of beautiful sandy surfing beaches. For boating and water sports enthusiasts, the Camel Estuary offers fantastic opportunities with some of the finest sailing waters in the country.

The property is also well placed for ready access to the Cathedral City of Truro to the south and the Camel Estuary to the north. It is well positioned between large towns of Newquay and Wadebridge and with the A30 within easy reach, access to larger shops, supermarkets and traveling around the county is a breeze from this central location.

Newquay airport is just 3 miles and offers seasonal international flights and a regular connection to London. Alternatively, Bodmin Parkway (18 miles) is on the main rail line from Penzance-Paddington.

There is an Outstanding junior school in St. Columb Major whilst nearby Newquay has a choice of well thought of secondary schools and sixth forms.
