This three-bedroom oak-framed contemporary house sits high on the side of a valley in the idyllically quiet hamlet of Rosecare, close to the far north coast of Cornwall. It is a peaceful retreat for families or groups seeking a striking sense of light and space, with stunning design features in every room. Incredible 180-degree views stretch across hills and valleys and out to sea, perfectly positioned for watching the sun set over the ocean. Fling open the French doors during warmer months or storm watch in winter while staying snug and comfortable.
The ground floor living room features a wood burner, floor-to-ceiling windows, and French doors opening onto the west-facing terrace with glorious views down the valley to the coast. The very spacious kitchen and dining area has double-aspect floor-to-ceiling glass with French doors onto the south-facing terrace, panoramic views, seating for six, a large sofa, and a large Aga. A galleried games room on the first floor has a Velux window with a sea view. The very generous master bedroom, accessed via a feature bookcase, enjoys double-aspect full-length windows, French doors onto the terrace, a super king-size bed, and an en-suite with bath and separate shower. A further double bedroom has a double bed, built-in wardrobe and access to a Jack and Jill bathroom with a bath, separate shower enclosure and WC, which can also be reached from the main hallway, while a twin bedroom completes the sleeping arrangements. Underfloor heating runs throughout. Outside, an extensive wrap-around terrace hosts a private hot tub, table and chairs, and a barbecue, with far-reaching views across countryside and coast. The property also has five acres of grounds, mostly laid to grass, plus a shed for beach kit and bikes, and off-road parking for three cars.
Crackington Haven is a 5–10-minute drive away (2 miles) and it has a small cove bookended by dramatic cliffs with a cluster of cafes, a pub, and a shop. For those feeling energetic, it is also a 30–40-minute walk along country lanes and through woodland, though the steep valley sides make the walk home more challenging. A little further afield, the wide sandy sweep of Widemouth Bay (6 miles) and the busy seaside town of Bude (9 miles) offer plenty of restaurants, shops, and fun activities.
