The irresistible, invigorating spirit of Cornwall’s untamed nature infuses every room in this luxurious Coastal House near Falmouth, worth £4,500,000. This immaculate, four bedroom retreat with a heated pool, hot tub and panoramic views of Falmouth Bay is a front row seat to South Cornwall’s cinematic meeting of sea and sky. Enviable seaside living, just a short stroll from Maenporth Beach, could be yours, along with £250,000 in cash, when you enter the Cornwall House Draw supporting the RSPB.
When you awaken in this supremely comfortable boucle bed to a rising glow from the east, the only thing between you and the silky sea and blue skies at the foot of your landscaped garden is your perfectly paved terrace. Step onto natural wood floorboards and out of elegantly framed, sliding doors, into your own slice of this bewitching Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. On one of two woven teak armchairs, take in the fresh, daisy-dotted lawn, the stately canopies of a pair of multi-stemmed Monterey pines and burgeoning borders of sea grass, wildflowers and shrubs.
This serene en suite is housed within a circular lookout tower at the western tip of the property. Stand beneath a rainfall shower, behind a barely-there glass screen, surrounded by mosaic tiles, on stone flooring the colour of the seabed. At the centre of the room, a raised, freestanding bath basks in daylight as you wrap yourself in a fluffy towel from a heated, chrome rail. The curving walls of this hideaway bathroom, punctuated with windows to the horizon, are an invitation to embrace a playful life in this dream house designed without limits.
Upstairs, in this breathtaking kitchen, brew coffee and prepare fresh fruit. Striking glass doors span this entire wood-floored, open plan space, giving way to an outdoor dining terrace with panoramic views of Falmouth’s Pendennis Castle and St Anthony's Head Lighthouse. A polished countertop of pristine white reveals a Bosch triple ceramic hob beneath a trio of metal pendant lights, with a backdrop of craggy, green headlands and gentle waves. Perch on a cane and blonde wood stool by a rustic stone wall and turn your face towards the warm sea breeze.
Behind you is a lounge of free-flowing forms, screened from the dining space by an elegant stack of freestanding shelves. A sweeping sofa of stone linen, overlapping tables of softly shaped wood, a woven circle underfoot and an upholstered, tubular chair all contrast with the statement glazing’s sharp, contemporary lines. After breakfast, recline in peace against the couch’s low back, gazing out over the shimmering salt water, as it and the cloudless sky above merge into one. For now, enjoy the tranquillity of time alone here before loved ones descend.
But first, indulge in a solo swim in your heated pool, set within a smooth grey patio. Refresh in the temperate water of this open-air mirror of aquamarine, screened by a rubble wall and resplendent palms in oversized planters. Float weightlessly on your back for an uninterrupted view of Cornwall’s vast skies, following the path of an occasional passing cloud or seabird with your gaze. Afterwards, let the sunshine of South Cornwall’s subtropical microclimate dry the water from your skin, as you relax, poolside, in a low, armless chair on a monochrome cushion.
Early evening, sip an aperitif on a peaceful, wraparound terrace in a slender-armed chair with your feet resting on a matching footstool, surrounded by the pointed crowns of potted yuccas. Behind you, cut outs in a stone wall catch the twilight as friends arrive up the gravel path for dinner. Behind a sliding door, a dining table is set for a night of celebrations where the hours will pass unnoticed, except by a handful of candles. Here, time belongs to the rise and fall of the sun beyond the skyline and the ebb and flow of the tides below—setting you free, to simply be.
