SITUATION The property occupies an enviable rural position along a quiet no-through road. The setting is particularly private, enjoying uninterrupted views across rolling farmland creating an exceptional sense of peace and seclusion. Despite its tranquil location, the property remains well connected. The nearby village of Egloskerry offers an active rural community centred around its well-regarded primary school, parish church and village hall, with a variety of community events taking place throughout the year.
The historic market town of Launceston, approximately 5 miles away, provides an extensive range of everyday facilities including supermarkets, independent shops, cafés, restaurants, public houses, primary and secondary schooling, healthcare services, leisure centre, sporting clubs and veterinary practices and benefits from convenient access to the A30, providing links west into Cornwall and east towards Exeter and the M5.
DESCRIPTION This highly individual detached residence has been substantially extended and thoughtfully enhanced by the present owners to create a contemporary home of exceptional quality, with a clear European influence evident throughout both its construction and interior finish.
The property has been built using premium German construction methods, including highly insulated Cirkel Point blockwork together with a Weber Saint-Gobain external render system and Rockwool insulation, delivering excellent thermal performance. Both the insulated concrete ground floor slab and block-and-beam first floor incorporate underfloor heating (with the exception of one bedroom), supplied by an efficient Viessmann ground source heat pump, which also provides the domestic hot water.
Great care has been taken in the specification throughout. German-manufactured Neuffer aluminium-clad uPVC tilt-and-turn double glazed windows and external doors combine practicality with excellent insulation, whilst internally, aluminium-framed windows, bi-folding doors and quality German casement doors are complemented by granite and quartz window sills. The bath and shower room suites feature contemporary wall-mounted sanitaryware by Geberit, further reflecting the quality found throughout the home.
The kitchen has been fitted with an extensive range of premium Nolte cabinetry, complemented by integrated NEFF appliances and quality work surfaces, creating a practical and stylish entertaining space. In keeping with the property's emphasis on energy efficiency, there is also a Sinergy solar photovoltaic system with battery storage together with an electric vehicle charging point. Externally, galvanised powder-coated steel guttering and downpipes, finished in anthracite grey, provide a durable and attractive finish.
ACCOMMODATION The accommodation is arranged over two split level floors and has been designed to make the very best of the views over surrounding countryside. The impressive kitchen/dining room is undoubtedly one of the principal features of the house. Beautifully fitted with a comprehensive range of matching Nolte units, integrated NEFF appliances and quality finishes throughout, it provides an excellent space for both everyday family life and entertaining. The generous living room enjoys a dual aspect with glazed doors opening to both the front and side, allowing natural light to flood the room. There is a ground floor bathroom, utility room and separate plant room housing the property's heating systems.
On the first floor, the superb dual aspect principal bedroom takes full advantage of the outstanding views. A bespoke built-in feature wall provides the perfect position for the bed whilst cleverly concealing useful storage behind. French doors open onto a Juliet balcony, creating a wonderful place to appreciate the far-reaching rural outlook. There are two further bedrooms, together with a beautifully appointed contemporary shower room fitted with quality sanitaryware.
