This sizeable 4-bedroom home, originally built in 1911 for a retired sea captain, presents a unique investment opportunity, particularly for those interested in enhancing its period character. The residence showcases an array of architectural features that hint at its nautical history. Upon entering through the front porch, visitors are greeted by a tiled foyer with a distinctive porthole window that sets the stage for the grand entrance hall, anchored by an impressive staircase.
To the left lies a dual-aspect dining room, complete with a marble fireplace and log burner—ideal for family meals or entertaining guests. Further down the hall, a spacious living room boasts three large windows and another log burner within an ornate marble fireplace featuring a copper hood. The exposed beams in this room recall the charm of being below deck on a ship. Functional updates can easily be made to enhance this inviting space.
The kitchen serves as one of the property’s highlights, featuring an oil-fed Aga along with ample base and eye-level units, built-in ovens, an induction hob, and space for modern appliances. French doors lead directly to the patio area—perfect for outdoor dining or gardening enthusiasts. The utility room is equipped with full-height storage and plumbing for dishwashing needs, while an additional laundry room includes essential facilities and a separate cloakroom.
Upstairs reveals four generously sized bedrooms bathed in natural light. The principal bedroom features three expansive windows and an elegant marble fireplace complemented by built-in wardrobes. Each additional bedroom offers unique potential for customization or renovation to maximize their appeal.
Externally, access is available from both Station Road and Trekenning Road, providing convenience alongside ample parking opportunities via a private driveway. The level gardens not only offer tranquility but also present possibilities for landscaping improvements or expanding outdoor living spaces. A small vegetable patch and greenhouse cater to those with green thumbs.
Additionally, there is potential within the property's boundaries due to recently acquired land that includes The Milk Store—a structure with possibilities to convert into office space or expand upon further development subject to necessary planning permissions.
Situated in St Columb Major—just six miles from Newquay—the property provides an ideal location close to stunning beaches like Watergate Bay and Mawgan Porth while maintaining access to local amenities such as independent shops and major retailers like Marks & Spencer.
