An intriguing masterpiece of architectural creativity striking a wonderful balance between period detailing and bold yet elegant luxurious rustic style. Our clients have showcased their architectural skill, transforming an old artists studio and extensively renovating a 1890’s property, now presenting as a deceptively spacious three doubled bedroom home with a selection of imaginative reception rooms, with a feel of nostalgia to its previous studio roots.

Approaching from the private driveway which provides off street parking for 2 vehicles, the entrance hall opens to a double bedroom with box bay window and stylish shower room beyond. The rustic burnished concrete floor and semi-industrial style micro-cement finish for the double shower boasts superb bold style which continues throughout the home. The corridor opens to the socially positioned kitchen with a superb atrium lightwell, complete with 5 ring gas hob, double oven and dishwasher, finished with oak worktops and a fashionable concrete worktop on the central island. The adjacent utility/laundry room offers an impressive amount of useful storage.

The contrasting ages of the home are displayed as you enter the rear living area, with a fantastic exposed stone wall, open fireplace, grand tall ceilings and detailed cornicing. Double doors open to the rear garden, with this modern box bay feature continuing to the first floor.

The first floor gets rather interesting, charmingly feeling like an artists studio loft. With split levels, vaulted ceilings and exposed beams, quirky ladder accessed mezzanine, plus study, leading to a studio/office with creative workspace recesses and large living area enjoying sliding door access to a private balcony and sea views. Sheltered by the front garden cherry tree, it’s a relaxing spot for the afternoon sun. The views, natural light and possibilities for these rooms feel endless. Also to this floor is a strikingly finished bathroom with separate double shower and adjoining dressing. Adjacent to one side is a further w/c and to the other, a dual aspect double bedroom with box bay seating area.

The upper floor consist of a dual aspect bedroom with fantastic expansive views, across the town, to Carbis Bay, Hayle all the way to Trevose Lighthouse one direction and across Porthmeor to Clodgy Point to the other.

There is planning permission in perpetuity for a further extension to the West elevation to create another impressive bedroom suite which would enjoy beautiful sea views (PA18/06368).
