Withiel Turn, St Austell, Cornwall, PL26

An outstanding contemporary home, elegantly designed to maximise comfort, efficiency and flexibility, complemented by private gardens and ancillary accommodation.

Description

Velidhu is a distinctive architect-designed low-energy home, thoughtfully created and built by the current owners with a focus on sustainability. The property is conceived as a high-performance home, benefitting from triple glazing throughout, carefully considered solar orientation and low operational energy demand.

Approached via a gated shared driveway, the property opens into an entrance hall with adjoining utility room incorporating the MVHR system controls and a cloakroom. The heart of the home is an impressive open-plan kitchen and dining room, providing a light-filled and sociable space for everyday living and entertaining. Beyond lies a spacious sitting room with doors opening onto the garden and conservatory.

Also on the ground floor is a versatile fourth bedroom with en suite shower room and independent access to the garden, lending itself equally well to guest accommodation, multi-generational living or home-working requirements.

On the first floor are three well-proportioned double bedrooms, including a principal bedroom with en suite shower room, together with a family bathroom.

A notable feature of the property is the separate ancillary building, currently arranged as a gym and store. Highly insulated and triple glazed, it offers excellent potential for a variety of alternative uses, including an annexe, guest accommodation, home office or studio, subject to any necessary consents.

Outside, the established gardens enjoy a high degree of privacy, enclosed by mature hedging and principally laid to lawn. A patio terrace and hot tub provide an attractive setting for outdoor dining and relaxation.

Further outbuildings include a green-roofed storage building with space for motorbike parking and additional storage. Secondary access to the rear of the property offers further flexibility and potential for enhancement, additional garden space or future development, subject to obtaining the necessary permissions.
