How would you like to live within a World Heritage site, in an outstanding contemporary property a few minutes from an increasingly desirable village on the North Cornish coast?
Kew House is elegant and spacious, a beautiful family home in one of the most attractive parts of the UK. It’s designed to be comfortable: cool on the summer days and cosy in the winter. It has also been crafted to maximise the incredible Cornish views in every season – you can see seven historic engine houses, that served the mines, down the valley from this property.
Set within 2/3 of an acre, this newly-completed contemporary home contains five bedrooms in the main house and a separate garden studio, alongside the run of reception rooms and bathrooms that a household would need.
The landscaped gardens work with the steepness of the space, with terraces for dining and basking. There is also a hot tub (that will attract some guests!) and the driveway is large enough to comfortably accommodate six vehicles within the electric gates.
The living spaces in the main building naturally flow from entrance hall to the multiple lounging spaces, with a dining room and a hand-built, bespoke kitchen. There is also that sought-after amenity for the home cook: a pantry.
The kitchen is designed to be social, with a breakfast bar and a long dining table within easy reach of the hob. The rooms are awash with natural light thanks to ample use of windows. All are designed with a natural aesthetic in mind to allow for a seamless melding of exterior and interior spaces.
There is also a boot room (for those muddy walks) and a utility room, before the thoughtful modern staircase sweeps you upwards to the more private spaces on the upper floor.
There are five bedrooms, all of which celebrate the location with multiple windows allowing the Cornish landscape to be admired while reclining. These rooms are spacious and ideal for a growing family and multiple guests.
All bedrooms have their own en-suite bathrooms finished to an incredibly high specification. There are plenty of ablutions options, whether you prefer a deep-tub soak or an invigorating blast from the rain shower. Once again, the natural tones are used in these washing rooms to maintain the aesthetic and make this whole property so soothing to live in.
The separate garden studio provides yet more living and sleeping spaces, whether for visitors or even used for owners’ needs. You may like to create a home office or gym? As in the main house, the space is designed to be elegant and natural, maximising the light and maintaining the sense of connection with this special part of the country.
While the dining spaces inside are gloriously welcoming, summer months will demand some al fresco dining on the terraces. You can then take a glass of something into the hot tub to watch the sunset at the end of another unbeatable Cornish summer day.
It’s rare to find a modern, stylish new build of this caliber in such a sought-after area; many properties are older and space is at a premium. For those with an eye for design and the desire to live in a contemporary house carefully crafted for comfort, serenity and natural splendor, Kew House is highly recommended.
The house is just moments from St Agnes, a small but thriving Cornish village where you can find independent shops and businesses, including world-class pubs and eateries. It sits within an area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and a World Heritage Site, making it superbly well-located for exploring the many treasures of the county, whether natural or man-made.
St Agnes is just 12 miles from the small provincial airport at Newquay, while international flights can be picked up at Bristol Airport (about a five hour drive). The closest station is in Truro (5.5 miles away) from where high speed trains can transport you to London and beyond.
