Restronguet, Mylor, Falmouth, Cornwall

Set in about 2.65 acres of mature gardens and grounds, with access to a tidal slipway and yacht basin, Crownick Woods enjoys a peaceful and extremely private elevated position, designed to make the most of its unspoilt rural surroundings and the breath taking views across the Carrick Roads to Restronguet Point and beyond.

In 2021, the current owners engaged Truro based CSA Architects to design this substantial waterside home, featuring expansive living spaces, generous reception rooms, five bedroom suites, leisure areas and landscaped grounds.

The property has been completed to the highest standards throughout and provides a rare opportunity to purchase a brand-new, never-lived-in modern family home-perfect for entertaining and for enjoying the very best of its beautiful creekside setting. The design blends traditional stone and slate-hung elevations with timber clad and rendered sections, bespoke windows and joinery, an air source heat pump, Solar PV panels, and a mechanical heat recovery system.

Arranged over two floors and extending to about 4,859 sq ft, the ground floor comprises a reception hall with an elegant staircase rising to the wide galleried landing. To the left is the study and, beyond, the substantial open plan kitchen/dining and living room. This impressive space is designed for both everyday living and entertaining, enjoying excellent natural light, a large central island, and direct access to the terraces overlooking the gardens via two
pairs of French doors.

The bespoke kitchen includes a pantry/larder, an electric Everhot range cooker, and a range of integrated appliances suitable for hosting large gatherings. A further reception room, accessed from the hallway, features French doors to the terrace, a wood burner and a fitted cupboard suitable for installing an internal lift if required. Central to the ground floor are a utility and laundry room, cloakroom/WC, boot room and access to the plant room with a further WC.

The property is approached via a private road leading to a tarmac driveway, which rises to a parking and turning area beside the house and in front of a substantial carport and garage building. Planning permission exists for an additional garage and boat storage building adjacent to the tidal slipway and yacht basin.

The gardens have been beautifully landscaped to showcase the property’s unique setting. Multiple seating and entertaining areas include a covered space beneath the east facing terrace. Lawns lie both above and below the house, while pathways lead down to a stream and woodland beyond. The grounds include a variety of mature trees and shrubs, many suited to the particularly benign local climate.

Set against the mesmerising backdrop of the Carrick Roads, one of Cornwall’s most celebrated natural deep water harbours, Crownick Woods presents a rare opportunity to secure a home in one of the region’s most coveted waterside settings. Formed at the end of the last Ice Age, the Carrick Roads is a dramatic flooded valley, renowned for its expansive, sheltered waterways stretching from Falmouth towards Truro.

From its elevated position, the property enjoys panoramic views across the wide, meandering channels of the estuary, where wooded peninsulas, quiet creeks and open water combine to create a timeless maritime landscape. With depths reaching up to 34 metres in places, this magnificent stretch of water is celebrated as one of the world’s great natural harbours, long valued for sailing, anchorage and its rich maritime heritage.

Surrounded by rolling countryside, mature woodland and picturesque coves, the area offers an idyllic environment for those seeking tranquillity without compromising on lifestyle. Wildlife flourishes along the estuary, with frequent sightings of waders, waterbirds and migratory species, providing year round natural interest.

Sailing enthusiasts are well catered for, with an active sailing club in Restronguet and the world class facilities at Mylor Yacht Harbour around a mile away, offering pontoon berths, moorings, chandlery, yacht club, café and restaurants. The renowned thatched Pandora Inn is a short walk along the creek, while the neighbouring towns of Falmouth and Truro provide an excellent range of culture, amenities and schooling.

Whether as a principal residence or coastal retreat, this is a home that captures the essence of Cornwall’s south coast, serene, scenic and steeped in heritage, with the everchanging waters of the Carrick Roads at its heart.
