The spacious open-plan kitchen and living area boasts a high curved ceiling and bi-fold doors that open onto a generous south-facing balcony, offering breathtaking views across the Tamar Valley to the National Trust Cotehele Estate and the Calstock viaduct. The well designed living space is light and airy with a feature wall adorned with Venetian plastering, creating a striking effect with streaks of copper. The kitchen features bespoke units by Kettle Kitchen, quartz worktops and high-end Bosch appliances, including an induction hob, combination oven, second oven, warming drawer and dishwasher. A large central island with a wine fridge adds a touch of luxury and convenience.

Adjacent to the kitchen is a boot room with a back door leading to the parking area and the front door to the annex. The upper floor further includes a sunroom with triple aspect glazed windows, designed to catch the afternoon and evening light, adding to the home's charm. A generous living space featuring a built-in wood-burning Stovax stove and triple aspect windows leads to an additional balcony, to sit and enjoy the quiet surrounds and sunset. 

Descending to the lower ground floor, the home continues to impress with a substantial master bedroom that includes a large walk-in wardrobe and an elegant en-suite bathroom with full size bathtub. Two more large double bedrooms on this floor each benefit from en-suites and walk-in wardrobes, showcasing the home's thoughtful design and attention to detail. This floor also features a versatile reception room bathed in natural light that can easily be converted into an additional double bedroom. Completing this level is a well-proportioned laundry room and two generous-sized storerooms, which could be optimised as a home cinema or gym. All rooms on the lower ground floor have high ceilings, and all bathrooms are equipped with Grohe showers.

The property includes an airy independent annexe with its own entrance. This space features a double bedroom, a shower room, and an exceptional open plan living/kitchen area, with access to a large exterior balcony through sliding doors.

Noosa is surrounded by several areas of low-maintenance garden, with plenty of scope to extend planting in approximately 0.75 acres of woodland, with some terraced areas and the sloping remainder down towards the river.

The property also boasts a large double garage with electric-controlled access, solar panels, a 3000-litre rain-water storage tank, and a spacious turning area perfect for parking multiple cars.

Construction

Noosa is a meticulously designed and built property, crafted by its current owners from 2020 to 2022. The construction utilises Insulated Concrete Forms (ICF) to ensure both durability and energy efficiency. One of the standout architectural features is its curved aluminium roof with a raised-seam design, which harmonises elegantly with the natural surroundings. Inside, all living area doors are made from oak, highlighting the home's commitment to quality craftsmanship. Additionally, the windows are constructed from marine-grade aluminium, further emphasising the focus on durability and long-lasting performance. The building and adjacent grounds are designed to be low maintenance and its many features including an air source heat pump, solar panels, sewage treatment plant, and MVHR (mechanical ventilation heat recovery) system provide a high level of energy efficiency. The property benefits from underfloor heating throughout.
