BEACH 350 YARDS, LOOE 5 MILES, PLYMOUTH 18 MILES, FOWEY 19 MILES, NEWQUAY AIRPORT 37 MILES COME AND LIVE YOUR BEACHLIFE DREAM ON THE GLORIOUS CORNISH RIVIERA - A unique and once in a lifetime opportunity to acquire a 0.55 acre site with planning permission to create a state of the art seaside home designed by the multi-award winning RIBA architect Stan Bolt - A premium and much coveted south facing plot which showcases sunrise through to sunset and expansive sea and coastline views. Proposed 3390 sq ft (315 sq m) Dwelling with 1 Bedroom Annexe, Reception Hall, O/P Living Room/Kitchen, Study, Laundry, Plant, 3 Double Bedrooms (All Ensuite), Extensive Terracing & Soft Landscaped Areas, Long Private Drive, Triple Garage (925 sq ft/86 sq m) with Canopy.
LOCATION Wentworthy is situated in an elevated, south facing and prized near beachfront position only a short walk (350 yards) from Downderry Beach on a stretch of coastline often referred to as the Cornish Riviera. The shimmering azure waters of Whitsand and Looe Bay provide a truly inspirational outlook with sailing yachts, super yachts, motor boats, trawlers and all manner of marine traffic moving across the horizon, the sounds of the waves crashing on the beach below and the skylarks above provides a truly sensory living experience which soothes the soul. Whitsand Bay is officially designated a Marine Conservation Zone noted for the abundance of marine flora and fauna. The property also lies within an Area of Great Landscape Value.
Downderry and Seaton have a primary school (rated "good" by Ofsted), restaurant, beachside public house, church, beach café, village store, post office and doctors' surgery. Similar facilities are available at St Germans, which also has a main line railway station providing a useful commuter link to Plymouth (Plymouth to London Paddington 3 hours). Seaton also has a Countryside Park with riverside and woodland walks.
Downderry was in recent years noted by the Sunday Times in a list of the top ten "Best Places to Live by the sea". Golf is available at Portwrinkle, St Mellion International Golf Resort, or Looe Bindown. The South West Coast Path is accessed nearby with parts of the neighbouring coastline in the ownership of the National Trust. The beach has a slipway and offers the opportunity to keep and launch boats (by permit). Seaton Beach (0.5 mile) benefits from a RNLI Lifeguard station during the summer.
The sailing waters of the area are favoured by yachtsmen and deep water moorings are available on the Rivers Lynher and Tamar at St Germans, Saltash and Fowey/Polruan in addition there are fabulous marinas with first class amenities in Plymouth. Saltash has a Waitrose store on its northern outskirts and the city of Plymouth offers an abundance of facilities centred around the historic and fascinating waterfront areas of the Barbican and Hoe. The Tamar Valley Area of Outstanding Beauty, the famous surfing beaches of North Cornwall, historic country houses and many other places of interest lie within an easy drive.
Nearby the villages of Kingsand and Cawsand (9 miles) both have a welcoming community, are home to the Rame Gig Club and are well equipped with a variety of local shops, pubs and restaurants together with a sailing club and other facilities. The Rame Peninsula is relatively little known, often described as 'Cornwall's forgotten corner', forming part of the Cornwall Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty with quiet beaches and outlined by the South West Coastal Path which can be accessed only about 600 metres south of the property. The Mount Edgcumbe Country Park, an 800 acre area of coastal woodland and open hillsides, is possibly one of the most beautiful and varied locations of Cornwall, lies only 11 miles distant.
DESCRIPTION Wentworthy comprises a truly unique opportunity to create possibly one of the finest seaside homes in Cornwall. This exceptional plot extends to about 0.5 acres in a most coveted location within the village environment. The plot has a south aspect a commands a stunning 180 degree prospect over the shimmering waters of Whitsand and Looe Bay.
Our client has taken great care, working with the multi-award winning RIBA Architect Mr Stan Bolt who has a "world class" reputation for designing and delivering the most exceptional seaside homes, to design a comfortable family home with proposed accommodation extending to about 3390 sq ft where the thoughtful layout capitalises on the extraordinary views and with versatility provided by a self contained annexe.
The proposal is for an uber luxury home with internal lift, three car garaging and expansive sea facing terraces for al-fresco dining and entertaining. The external shell of the existing building is to be retained and the internal volume shall become the principal communal space of the reformed dwelling - open horizontally to the external walls and landscape beyond and vertically to the roof structure.
The proposed accommodation is as follows - GROUND FLOOR - Reception Hall - 2 Luxury Bedroom Suites - Triple Garage - FIRST FLOOR - Atrium Style Landing/Reception Space - Stunning Triple Aspect Open Plan Living Room/Kitchen with vaulted ceiling - Luxury Master Bedroom Suite - Cloakroom/WC - Laundry Room - Plant/Store Room - ANNEXE - providing overspill 1 Bedroom accommodation or Studio/Work From Home or Summerhouse Space.

Our client has connected a 3 phase electricity supply in preparation for installation of renewables and state of art energy features, the property has a new mains water supply and is connected to mains drainage. Our client will expect the purchaser to pay a deposit of £4,000 upon agreement to purchase, this deposit would be refunded upon completion.
