The house, which has been given a 5 star rating by the English Tourist Board, was built in 2002/03 to a very high specification, sleeps 12 comfortably although the smallest bedroom can be used as a TV/snug/playroom. It stands in an elevated position facing south and enjoys stunning views over the Camel Estuary and the hills beyond. The house sits in an extremely sheltered position with a terrace and garden to the front, and a further terraced garden to the rear. The garden is not overlooked and is surrounded by large, mature trees of various species. There is outside furniture and a barbecue area. Due to its sheltered position, the temperature in the garden is often noticeably warmer than the surrounding area. There is sufficient parking for 3/4 cars and a garage.
The house is built “upside down” with most of the living area set above the bedrooms on the ground floor (sound proofing has been thought about!!!). The living area on the top floor comprises a large sitting room, huge kitche/dining room opening onto a sundeck, study area, kid’s playroom/6th bedroom and WC. There are 4 bedrooms on the ground floor (2 twins and 2 doubles), 3 of which open onto a terrace. There are two large bathrooms both with baths and separate showers.
