Architecturally impressive from the first approach, Lyndhurst is a substantial contemporary home on the outskirts of Polzeath where slate, glass and soaring vaulted spaces create an immediate sense of arrival. Set within the peaceful scenery of St Minver, the house feels calm and quietly confident, with generous gardens, wide open skies and elevated views that stretch gently across the surrounding landscape.
Step through the statement slate entrance and the scale of the house begins to unfold. At its heart lies the spectacular vaulted sitting room, where full-height windows draws the garden and countryside in, and a central log burner creates a warm focal point for slow evenings together. Open yet wonderfully grounded, the space flows effortlessly into the generous dining area and beautifully equipped kitchen beyond, creating a social heart designed around gathering and lingering long after dinner has ended. Tucked neatly behind, a spacious utility room keeps the practicalities beautifully out of sight.
Outside, the landscaped gardens wrap around the house with level lawns and sun-soaked terraces made for relaxed afternoons in the open air. Doors open directly from the living space to the rear garden, while an elevated deck to the side catches the light for morning coffee, evening drinks or a quiet moment with a book in hand.
The garage has been transformed into a laidback games room, with table tennis and bean bags creating an easy hideaway for younger guests after sandy days at the beach. Upstairs, a floating landing frames far-reaching countryside views from both sides of the property, with a quiet reading nook and telescope perfectly placed for slower moments and stargazing after dark.
