Dobbin Road, Trevone, Padstow, Cornwall, PL28

The frontline setting of Dobbin Road, a quiet no-through lane in Trevone, is one of the most sought after in North Cornwall. Longcarrow, which is situated on the coastal side of the road, is a striking and impressive detached house and just 450 yards from the beach. The house has been designed with the emphasis being on the view, and all the principal rooms being filled with natural light, pouring in through tall, wide windows opening onto deep terraces and balconies. The house also incorporates an extremely high level of insulation, which when combined with its north/south axis, keeps the interior cool in the summer and cosy in the winter. Other features include high performance glazing, excellent lighting efficiency, underfloor heating throughout via solar PV, ground source heat pump and MVHR, including battery storage.

All this combined, ensures the top-level energy efficiency rating of an A has been awarded on the Energy Performance Certificate. The accommodation is arranged over three floors, with the lower ground floor comprising a large games/TV room with library shelving, and an en suite King bedroom, both with sliding doors leading to the terrace and garden beyond. The ground floor is approached from the driveway and largely dedicated to the impressive open-plan kitchen/dining/living room. This room has a wood burning stove, and superb views through two large sets of sliding doors extending to the wrap around balcony, with steps leading to the garden and terrace below. The bespoke, handmade kitchen is beautifully appointed with a good range of units, and a large central island with quartz work surfaces. Integral appliances include a bank of four ovens, two with microwave functionality, a dishwasher, American style Fridge Freezer and Quooker boiling water tap. A floating staircase rises to the first floor, where there are a further four bedrooms, two king size and two super-king size, along with three bath/shower rooms, two of them being en suite to the principal and guest bedrooms. The principal bedroom, which has a full width Juliette Balcony, and guest bedroom, both have sublime sea views. The second bedroom has its own south facing balcony.

Immediately in front of the house is a large resin driveway leading to the integral garage and providing parking for 3-4 cars. The gardens are designed for ease of maintenance and are largely laid to lawn. There is a hot tub with surrounding terrace, and newly planted shrub borders. A public footpath runs along the bottom of the garden, providing access across the fields to the beach. The house has vehicular access along this path for maintenance of the garden.
