Restronguet, Mylor, Falmouth, Cornouailles

Set in mature gardens and grounds, with water frontage, Crownick Woods enjoys a peaceful and extremely private elevated position, designed to make the most of its unspoilt rural surroundings and the breathtaking 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. There is independent access to the woodland where there is a large Shepherd’s Hut and extensive parking by the yacht basin.

A particular feature of the property is the yacht basin and sheltered inlet with a tidal slipway. There are two further slipways next to a boat house which offers a great deal of potential (subject to the necessary consents) and moorings.

The property totals in all about 13.07 acres which is made up by about 3.90 acres of grounds and about 9.16 acres of fundus/riverbed.
