Description
A Rich Tapestry of History and Craftsmanship: Originally built as a home for farm workers, Greatwood Cottage has been meticulously restored to its former glory, blending historical charm with modern sophistication. Every inch of this three-bedroom residence has been thoughtfully designed to honor its 19th-century heritage, from the lovingly preserved casement windows to the lime-pointed stone walls. The 2022 renovation, executed with the highest attention to detail, seamlessly integrates contemporary comforts while retaining the cottage's enchanting period features.
A Seamless Blend of Indoor and Outdoor Living: Step inside, and you'll be greeted by an interior that exudes warmth and character. The front door opens into a welcoming hallway, leading to two exquisite reception rooms, each graced with a wood-burning stove set within majestic brick fireplaces. These spaces are perfect for cozy evenings spent by the fire, while large windows allow natural light to dance across the gently undulating lime-plastered walls.
The heart of the home lies in the bespoke kitchen, a culinary masterpiece where traditional craftsmanship meets modern convenience. A stable door opens directly onto the side terrace, inviting you to step outside and soak in the breathtaking vista.
Bedrooms with a View: Ascend to the first floor, where three beautifully appointed double bedrooms await. The front-facing bedrooms offer sweeping views across the estuary, providing a daily reminder of the cottage's extraordinary setting. Each room has been carefully curated to offer a sanctuary of rest and relaxation, with the finest materials and finishes enhancing the sense of luxury.
Exquisite Gardens and Outdoor Spaces: The outdoor spaces at Greatwood Cottage are nothing short of magical. The front of the cottage features a charming paved terrace, perfect for morning coffee amidst the blooms of a well-tended flower border. A pathway leads around to the side terrace, offering a quiet spot to unwind.
The rear garden is a private oasis, a series of enchanting terraces connected by stone steps and meandering paths. The first terrace, a lush lawn, leads to a decked terrace adjacent to the summer house—a versatile space currently used as a guest suite, complete with bespoke bunk beds, a shower room, and ample storage. French doors open from the summer house onto a large decked terrace, where you can entertain guests or simply lose yourself in the panoramic views of the river and sea.
The gardens are a horticultural delight, with mature shrubs, trees, and flowering plants creating a vibrant tapestry of color and texture. Highlights include a magnificent Monkey Puzzle tree, a blossoming magnolia, and an array of hydrangeas that add to the garden's year-round beauty.
This exceptional property stands out with its valuable features, including a dedicated parking space and a single garage, offering unmatched benefits that elevate everyday living.
An Exclusive Location: Greatwood Cottage is not just a home; it’s a lifestyle. The property is perfectly positioned to offer the very best of Cornish living, from the world-class sailing waters of the Carrick Roads to the delightful estuary walks that begin right at your doorstep. A short stroll along the riverside footpath leads to the historic Pandora Inn, a 13th-century thatched treasure set on the shores of Restronguet Creek.
For those who seek community and convenience, the nearby villages of Mylor Bridge and Flushing offer a wonderful array of amenities, including artisan shops, cozy cafes, and traditional pubs. The renowned Tregew Food Barn, located between the two, hosts a weekly market featuring the finest local produce—a must-visit for any food enthusiast.
Unrivaled Privacy and Convenience: Despite its secluded location, Greatwood Cottage offers easy access to the wider world. The port town of Falmouth and the cathedral city of Truro are both within a short drive, while Newquay Airport, offering direct flights to London, is just 24 miles away.
