Vicarage Lane, Lelant, St. Ives, Cornwall, TR26

A distinctive and architecturally designed home set within approximately 1.2 acres, offering estuary views, enchanting woodland and a discreet setting in Lelant.

Description

Set within a private and established position on Vicarage Lane, Oaklands is a thoughtfully designed contemporary residence completed in 2015. The property is arranged to maximise natural light and its elevated outlook, with accommodation extending to approximately 3,500 sq ft.

The entrance opens into a vestibule with a centrally positioned oak spiral staircase, designed to create a strong visual focal point. The staircase rises to a galleried landing overlooking the principal living space, with metal spindles and glass balustrades contributing to the open feel and allowing light to pass throughout the interior.

The open-plan kitchen and dining area forms a central hub of the home, with the dining space accessed via sliding Crittall-style doors, allowing flexibility between open-plan and more defined living. The kitchen is fitted with solid oak cabinetry, granite work surfaces and a central island with breakfast seating. Integrated appliances include NEFF dual ovens and a NEFF induction hob, together with additional fitted appliances.

The sitting room is arranged as a sunken reception space, creating a sense of separation while remaining connected to the overall layout. It features a vaulted ceiling, a Jotul wood burner and sliding doors opening onto the south-facing terrace, providing direct access to the garden and views beyond.

A separate utility room with external access and a cloakroom complete the ground floor accommodation.

The principal bedroom is positioned to provide privacy, with a vaulted ceiling and full-height glazing capturing views over the gardens and towards the estuary. It includes fitted storage and an en suite bathroom with both bath and separate shower.

There are three further double bedrooms, each with fitted storage and en suite shower rooms, two of which benefit from estuary-facing views.

Additional accommodation includes a spacious triple-aspect study/home office with direct access to the garden.
A separate indoor bar and entertaining space provides a versatile area for hosting and leisure, with doors opening directly onto the rear patio and barbecue area. The bar is fitted with a wine chiller, dishwasher and sink, together with a Vevor ice machine. Television and broadband connections are installed, allowing the space to be used as a media or entertainment room as required.

Outside
The property is approached via a gated driveway providing parking and access to a vaulted ceiling double garage, complete with a 'Garrador' electric roller garage door. The gardens immediately surrounding the house are well established, with mature planting and borders creating a sense of privacy and enclosure. Terraces and level lawns are arranged to take advantage of the outlook and sun throughout the day.
Within the grounds, there are three raised bed planters and a greenhouse, providing practical space for growing produce alongside the landscaped areas.
External lighting by Phillips has been installed to illuminate the pathways surrounding the house, enhancing both practicality and the setting in the evening.
Beyond the formal gardens, the grounds gently descend into a private woodland area, creating a sheltered and natural environment with a variety of mature trees and planting. Within this setting is a pond that provides a calm and secluded focal point, contributing to the overall sense of serenity and privacy. Pathways extend through the woodland and connect to the wider surroundings.
