West Road, Quintrell Downs, TR8

A STUNNING DOUBLE FRONTED PERIOD COTTAGE WITH A BEAUTIFUL PICTURE POSTCARD AESTHETIC, EQUALLY IMPRESSIVE INSIDE WITH A WONDERFUL BALANCE OF MODERN COMFORTS AND CHARMING ORIGINAL CHARACTER. WITH TWO LARGE DOUBLE BEDROOMS, SUPERB LIVING SPACE, BEAUTIFUL GARDENS AND EXCEPTIONAL OFF-STREET PARKING.

22 West Road is a gorgeous period cottage occupying an established position within the popular village of Quintrell Downs, just a few miles from Newquay and the coast. From the moment you arrive, this is a home with enormous kerb appeal. Its traditional double fronted façade has a wonderfully inviting, almost picture postcard appearance, while a large, gravelled driveway provides an exceptional amount of off-street parking, potentially accommodating as many as six vehicles.

Set back from the road, the front courtyard is another lovely feature. Sunny sheltered and surprisingly private, it provides a genuinely usable outside space with plenty of room for seating, creating a great spot to sit out and relax.

The main entrance is through a superb sun room. Far more than simply an entrance porch, this creates a lovely secondary reception area, flooded with natural light and providing the perfect place to sit and watch the world go by.

From here you step into the impressive full width lounge and dining room, where the cottage really begins to show its character. Open ceiling beams, exposed natural stonework and a cosy log burner combine beautifully, creating a warm and inviting main living space with plenty of room for both comfortable seating and a dining area.

An inner hallway provides useful storage and access to a particularly spacious ground floor WC before continuing into the extended kitchen and dining room at the rear. Beautifully refitted by the current owners, this is a fantastic sociable space with crisp white cabinetry, integrated appliances, and a feature island unit with breakfast bar seating. There is ample room to gather, cook and entertain, while direct access into the garden makes it equally practical for everyday family life.

Upstairs, the generous proportions continue with two superb double bedrooms, both notably spacious and benefiting from fitted storage. The main bathroom is equally impressive in size, fitted with a modern white three-piece suite as well as a large separate double shower enclosure.

Throughout, the cottage has been immaculately presented and carefully maintained, with uPVC double glazing and oil-fired central heating. Importantly, the property is not listed, giving owners the charm and character of a period cottage without the additional restrictions associated with listed status. There are all the features you would hope to find in a home of this age, including beams and a slightly lower ceiling within the lounge, together with some lower traditional door frames, but overall ceiling heights are good, and the accommodation feels surprisingly spacious.

The gardens are perhaps one of the home's finest features and have historically been recognised in Newquay in Bloom. Extending around two sides of the cottage, they are secure, private, and fully enclosed, thoughtfully landscaped to offer a relatively low maintenance outside space without sacrificing colour or character. Patio areas and artificial lawn are complemented by beautifully stocked borders, giving keen gardeners plenty to enjoy without the garden becoming a full-time job.

There are numerous secluded little sun traps and seating areas to choose from throughout the day, making the gardens particularly enjoyable for relaxing and entertaining. A summer house provides another lovely place to sit out, while a substantial garden shed offers excellent practical storage.

Quintrell Downs itself is a well-connected village on the outskirts of Newquay, offering everyday amenities including a convenience store and Post Office, popular pubs, bus services, and its own railway station. Newquay neighbours, with its superb beaches, coastline, shops, restaurants, and leisure facilities all within easy reach, while the location also provides convenient road access towards Truro and the wider county.

Beautiful from the outside, equally impressive within and complemented by exceptional parking and delightful gardens, 22 West Road is a particularly appealing character home that combines everything people love about a traditional Cornish cottage with the space, comfort and practicality required for modern living.
