Nestled in the heart of Rock, just a two-minute stroll from the Pityme Inn, Inkwood is a sanctuary of understated luxury. Once a modest 1970s bungalow, this striking home has been completely transformed. Wrapped in charred larch and reimagined with soaring ceilings that welcome the morning light to dance through its spaces.
The approach is framed by an ancient olive tree, its silvered branches a contrast to the dark timber façade. The interplay of shadows and textures begins here, drawing you into an interior designed to harness the shifting light of the day. Oak shutters gently filter the sun, casting a soft, rosy glow that shifts by the hour.
Inside, the atmosphere is one of ease and luxury. The palette remains neutral, calming and grounded, while layers of natural materials bring depth and warmth. Wood, rattan and stone are thoughtfully combined, each surface tactile and inviting. The spacious kitchen exemplifies this philosophy; pared back, timeless and beautifully simple, where materials do the talking.
The boot room glows in the golden Cornish light. its walls painted in a rich, buttery hue. Here, a welcoming entrance leads the eye through to the garden beyond. A simple ash bench sits quietly, its pale grain reflecting the soft light, an invitation to pause before stepping outside for a day of sand and sea.
In the bedrooms, coastal influences subtly thread through the design with rattan wardrobe panels adding sumptuous texture. Set against a backdrop of limed oak shutters and warm timber flooring, they soften the angles of the space. Every detail has been considered to ensure an effortless flow, a harmony between light and structure where tranquillity reigns.
