PLYMOUTH Plymouth is a city adjacent to one of the most natural harbours in the world. To the north is the Dartmoor National Park extending to over 300 square miles and which provides excellent recreational facilities. Plymouth itself has a population of well over 200,000 and has a full range of shopping, educational and sporting facilities. There is mainline train service to London (Paddington) and to Penzance in West Cornwall whilst Brittany Ferries operates seasonal services from Plymouth to France and Northern Spain.
DOWNDERRY Downderry is one of a few large village settlements to be found along the coastline of South East Cornwall, providing a wide range of local facilities including well equipped village shops, two churches, a restaurant, a bistro/caf?, school, doctors surgery and two public houses. There is also a slipway giving access to the long beach and rocky foreshore.
The house is set to the very eastern fringe of the village in an elevated position, with practical access, in a no-through road of individually built houses. The views are panoramic and span the English Channel, with the Eddystone Lighthouse clearly visible in reasonable weather conditions, and extending from Rame Head in the east to the Dodman Point and beyond in the west. In the foreground is the rocky foreshore as it extends towards Whitsand Bay.
?Nearby facilities include golf, four miles to the east at Portwrinkle or Looe Bindown about six miles to the north west. This is a position about ten miles, as the crow flies, west of Plymouth and about four miles east of Looe, set above the wide expanse of Whitsand Bay. DESCRIPTION On immediately entering the property into the hallway, the standard of finish is of very good order with Solid Oak Doors and tiled flooring, leading you through to an open plan Kitchen / Diner. The main rooms in the property all face the rear elevation, making most of its position with some outstanding south-facing sea views stretching from Rame Head in the east to Looe Island and Dodman Point to the west. The Kitchen/Diner is well fitted with an L-shaped room enjoying south-facing sea views and extending the full width of the house. The kitchen itself provides a bespoke matching range of base and wall mounted solid oak units and oak work surface with room for a variety of white goods. The whole area is finished with tiled flooring. The dining area features French doors which open to a Juliet balcony with a stainless steel railing. Also on this level we find a Cloakroom benefitting from low level WC and wall mounted hand wash basin and a door off the hallway which gives access to the spacious garage. A large shoe/coat cupboard is also found to one side of the hallway. An attractive solid Oak balustrade and neutrally carpeted stairs lead down to the second floor, where we find solid Oak flooring through to the L shaped living room. Neutrally decorated, the room affords French doors which give access to a sizeable, private sun balcony with stainless steel railings. DECSRIPTION 2 Adjacent to this, accessed from the landing, we find a handy walk-in shower room with Mira thermostatic shower, low level WC and wall mounted hand washbasin. The room is finished with floor-to-ceiling travertine natural stone tiling and provides great use for the Bedroom found alongside. This L shaped room is of reasonable proportions; this is the only bedroom area which does not enjoy panoramic sea views, however the sea can still be glimpsed through its window on the side of the house.
The master bedroom is found on the floor below with some glorious sea views and includes a spacious dressing room and en-suite bathroom. The en-suite wet room again benefits from floor-to-ceiling travertine natural stone tiling, Mira thermostatic shower, bath, pedestal hand wash basin and low level WC. Bedroom two is found alongside this to the rear elevation, again enjoying the views. The floor is completed with a spacious Family Bathroom / Wet room again comprising the high standard of fitting with floor-to-ceiling travertine natural stone tiling, Mira thermostatic shower, bath, pedestal hand wash basin and low level WC.As with the walls and roof, the ground floor itself has extensive (100mm) insulation below the screed. Bedroom 4 benefits a window to rear providing the panoramic views and a fully tiled floor, making the room suitable for different uses if needed. DESCRIPTION 3 The garden room adjacent provides a glazed door opening onto the decking along the back of the house and the level lawn garden below. Plumbing has been installed to enable a small kitchen area to be fitted at the back of this room in the future. This could be used perhaps for cooking meals for al fresco dining, or could be suitable for a granny/teenager flat. A room off the internal hallway provides a handy utility area with connections for a washing machine and dryer. A door separates the utility area from a fully-tiled shower room and WC.
The Attic in the property provides a useful storage area with a Velux roof light and is accessed via an integral loft ladder providing ample full height storage space, with more available under the eaves. The heat recovery ventilation unit and the hot water cylinder are also situated in the attic. The hot water cylinder is designed to accept solar heated water should that be required at a later date. The house is insulated to very high standards (a U-value of 0.14 in the walls), many times in excess of Building Regulation requirements and a rainwater recovery system serves the toilets and washing machine. The house has mains water, mains drainage and mains electricity. DESCRIPTION 4 The windows are manufactured by NorDan of Norway to meet the weather conditions of the Norwegian climate. Wood-framed with argon-filled double-glazing, Bio-clean self-cleaning glass on the external pane, and low-maintenance white aluminium cladding on the outside. A whole-house ventilation system with heat exchanger is designed to provide the home with warm, fresh air. The roof is clad in natural slate and the walls are faced with a Marmorit through-coloured cream render.
Externally the suspended driveway provides off-road parking for two medium-sized cars in addition to the principal space for one car in the garage. The rainwater recovery tank is sited under the driveway. Shared steps with a locked gate at the top provide external access to the gardens below. At ground floor level, decking surrounds the level lawn area, and wooden steps lead down to this from the decking across the back of the house. There is a further area of level ground 3 metres below the lawn area for the owners to do what they like with (subject to any consents that may be required).
