Description
A rare opportunity as properties of this scale rarely come onto the market in Harlyn. Completed in 2024, Talskiddy showcases traditional construction with stone faced walls, a reclaimed Delabole slate roof and cedar cladding. The property opens into a spacious hallway leading to an expansive open-plan layout.
The dining area and family/cinema room feature sliding doors that open onto a south-facing paved terrace. The kitchen area is fully equipped with Pippi Oak wooden cabinetry with corian and oak worktops, integrated appliances, a range and a large island with space for additional dining. Adjacent to the kitchen, there is a generous utility room and a separate home office with loft access to a large store area above. Both have glazed doors leading to the front and side gardens.
The ground floor includes two double bedrooms, each with tastefully designed en suite shower rooms. A guest cloakroom and WC. Additional storage cupboards complete this level.
The upper floor boasts three double bedrooms, each offering either sea or countryside views and an en suite shower or bathroom. A spacious sitting room features an inset fireplace, Juliet balconies at the front and rear, and sweeping views of the bay, including the iconic Gulland and Newlands rocks as well as views across the adjoining countryside to the rear. Built-in storage is provided on both levels.
The interior design pairs slate flooring with white walls and dark grey window frames, creating an elegant and modern feel. Large windows and sliding doors flood the space with natural light, while herringbone weave carpets, light oak flooring and high-quality finishes—including marble basins, stylish tiles and chic light fittings—highlight the meticulous attention to detail throughout the home.
The property is surrounded by a traditional Cornish stone hedge, with gardens laid mainly to lawn at the front and sides. Slate paving leads to a raised terrace along the south-facing aspect, seamlessly connecting to the open planned kitchen/dining room and the separate family/cinema room. A wooden summer house/playhouse adds charm and functionality. The entrance to the property features solid wooden gates, ensuring a secure and private garden space for children and pets.
