5 BEDROOM PERIOD TOWN HOUSE ON FORE STREET, COMPLETE WITH SELF-CONTAINED ANNEXE, MOMENTS FROM NEWQUAY HARBOUR, TOWAN & FISTRAL BEACH THE PROPERTY Located on Fore Street, one of the most desirable streets in Newquay, this is a rare opportunity to own an historic town house just a few minutes from Newquay Harbour & Towan Beach, and an 8 minute walk to the world famous surf beach, Fistral. Fitted to a very high specification, with a self-contained annexe on the ground floor, this beautifully finished property boasts a surf shack, sauna, outdoor shower, outdoor dining and private off-street parking for 3 cars. From the elegant front of house, enjoy the easy-going beach lifestyle with a keyless entry system at the front door and entrances to the self-contained annexe and main house. A fitted coir entryway gives way to the entry hall, adding an additional level of privacy between the main house and annexe. The entire ground floor is a polished micro-cement, cool and fresh in summer and warmed by underfloor heating in the winter months. The kitchen, dining area and sitting room are light-filled and open-planned with plenty of room to entertain, sit and chat. A step down from the dining room to the sitting room gives the feeling of a cosy separate space, with plenty of room for lounging about in front of the TV or napping in front of the wood burning stove. With a Smeg range oven, an American style fridge freezer, a micro-cement kitchen isle and plenty of counter space, the kitchen is perfect for preparing large family meals. Four large, deep drawers and six built in cupboards make for an abundance of storage. The stylish, high performance micro-cement surfaces are easy to clean and a delight to prepare food on. On those beautiful sunny mornings or long summer evenings, open up the bifold doors to enjoy outdoor dining around the barbeque, or snacking and lounging on outdoor sofas and chairs. As the sun pours into the dining area, the furniture and fixtures shimmer and float with light reflected from the polished flooring, blurring the lines between inside and out. From the entry hall, a roped staircase lends a nautical theme and leads upstairs to a sisal carpeted hallway, two full bathrooms, a laundry room, and four king sized bedrooms. From a study or reading room with beautiful Venetian plaster walls, climb another nautical themed staircase and find yourself at the top of the house in the light-filled loft bedroom with four Velux windows. Sleep under the stars and wake up bathed in sky and light in this striking principal suite with exposed beams and ocean views up the North Cornish coast. A carefully disguised entrance under the stairway opens to the en-suite, with walk-in shower space decorated with elegant, polished micro-cement. Rise to the smell of sea grass in the quiet and cosy bedroom 2, overlooking the rear of the house, perfect for guests. Bedroom 3 is an elegant period feel bedroom with black painted floorboards, two large nearly floor to ceiling sash windows and a wall painting by the celebrated artist Bohie.
