Estuary House

Approaching the house by a track through fields, there is no hint that you are about to be greeted by the sight of a large and very modern house of slate and glass, utterly minimalist in design. The views of the Camel Estuary are outstanding and there is access to a boat mooring at the bottom of the garden.

A landscaped, very green garden is accessorised with a fire pit, a barbecue and a hot tub, and includes an unusual diversion for children in the form of a maze. The fashionable and attractive towns of Rock and Padstow are only 15 minutes cycle ride away along the Camel Trail.

Estuary House is truly private and enjoys sweeping views along the Camel Estuary. Sleek and stylish interiors characterise the house, with high standards of comfort.  The top floor is dedicated to one spectacular open plan living and dining area, with panoramic views across the surrounding fields.
