The PropertyThe Beeches is a magnificent residence, one of the finest houses on the exclusive Restronguet Point, occupying an enviable position overlooking the Carrick Waters (Fal Estuary). The property offers approximately 6,336 sq. ft. of living space and the current owners have completely renovated the property to an exemplary standard-including replacing all the uPVC windows with solid wooden sashes. Full advantage has been taken of the spectacular waterside views which can be enjoyed from most rooms. An attractive porch with carved stone columns leads into a spacious reception hall on the ground floor. To the right of the entrance hall there is a large triple-aspect drawing room with appealing features including wide wooden sash windows that provide abundant natural light, a coal effect fireplace with an ornate mantelpiece, cornicing and ceiling rose. Both hall and lounge have solid oak flooring. The bespoke handmade kitchen by Treyone Kitchens is to the rear of the house, featuring composite Silestone worktops, two Franke stainless steel sinks, a Quooker instant boiling water tap, an Insinkerator waste disposal unit, Fisher & Paykel fridge/freezer, Elica frosted glass extractor fan and a two drawer Fisher & Paykel dishwasher. All other appliances are by Neff including a steam oven, a fan oven, two warming drawers, a coffee machine, microwave oven and an induction hob. Glazed double doors open into a spacious dining room from the kitchen, with a marble floor spanning both rooms.
Large windows provide wonderful views of the gardens and to the water. The dining room has attractive coving and a concealed mood lighting system. In the western side of the house is a ‘guest wing’, perfect for additional family members or visitors, where there is a good-size sitting room with an adjacent double bedroom and an en suite, with a large walk-in shower that has water jets from above and from the sides. Completing the ground floor is a well-proportioned conservatory with two sets of double doors to an exterior terrace, a utility room and store, a cloakroom with automatic sensor lights, taps and WC; as well as another ground floor bedroom with a stylish en suite that features floor level up-lighting and a backlit bathroom mirror.
Upstairs, on the first floor, an attractive sweeping oak staircase leads to a very spacious triple-aspect library. This wonderfully light and bright reception room also has solid oak flooring. There are water views on two sides, as well as two balconies, and a Juliet balcony with glass double doors, ideally situated to take in the incredible vista. The library has a number of bespoke fitted bookshelves, handmade, with appealing art deco features.
The double-aspect master bedroom enjoys views of the verdant Cornish countryside to one aspect, and of the Carrick Roads to the other, with two sets of French doors with Juliet balconies facing the waterside views. The master bedroom has a contemporary en suite with floor level up-lighting and twin basins. There is also a dressing room with a further en suite.
There is further large first floor bedroom with countryside views and en suite with a large walk-in rain shower, accessed from a separate staircase off the kitchen at the rear of the property, providing complete privacy for guests. On the second floor is a further double bedroom with yet more excellent views, plenty of fitted storage and a seating area. This bedroom has an en suite wet room, featuring contemporary tiling, a rain shower in the centre of the room and a balcony with a glass balustrade.
Back on the ground floor, a spiral staircase, within an entirely glazed contemporary structure, leads from the dining room, to the lower ground floor where there is a fabulous open plan entertainment room measuring over 1200sq. ft. that could be adapted for a variety of requirements. In the centre of the room is a sunken seating area, with mood lighting, which surrounds a contemporary wood-effect fireplace under a remarkable grey tinted glass flue that creates a unique feature. At the far end of the entertainment room is a cinema area, which has been sound-proofed and has an integrated speaker system embedded within the walls. At the other end of the room, there is a fully-fitted hotel style bar with extensive storage, wine fridges and a concealed basin. Three sets of bifold doors open out to an outdoor sun deck, creating a wonderful inside/outside space, making the most of the incredible waterside views. Also on the ground floor is a generous-size gym, with another set of bifold doors to the sun deck and a fully mirrored wall, as well as a large games room, shower room and WC.
OutsideApproached via intercom-operated entry gates, The Beeches has an extensive gravel driveway with a central circular pond and an elegant copper tree sculpture water feature. There is ample space to park multiple vehicles on the drive as well as in the detached double garage. There is also a store room to the rear of the garage. To the rear of the house, the gardens are magnificent, measuring over an acre in total and with breath-taking views of the Carrick Roads from all aspects. From the grounds of The Beeches, the outlook takes in Mylor Yacht Harbour, Messack Point at the entrance to St. Just harbour, Loe Beach and in the distance, St. Anthony Lighthouse and Falmouth Bay. There is an extensive wrap-around stone terrace, accessible from the ground floor, that provides the perfect place for al fresco dining and enjoying the vista. A productive grapevine adorns a column in the centre of the terrace. A grand, sweeping stone staircase leads downwards to the lawn and large sun deck, accessible from the lower ground floor of the house. There is a large 8 person hot tub on the sun deck, and combined with the three sets of bifold doors from the entertainment room, this provides the ideal space for seamless indoor/outdoor entertaining. The majority of the gardens comprise extensive areas of landscaped lawn, interspersed with established colourful flowerbeds, mature shrubs and bordered with majestic deciduous trees. There is a pond with mature waterlilies, goldfish and Koi carp. A path gently descends through the gardens, to the water’s edge. The property has its own slipway into the waters of the Carrick Roads, equipped with a remote operated electric winch with a bespoke automated slipway launch and recovery system for an 8m RIB.
LocationRestronguet Point is widely regarded to be one of the finest waterside addresses in Britain. “The Point” is a narrow promontory in the civil parish of Feock, on a raised peninsula which projects into the Carrick Roads. Due to its unique position, waterside views can be enjoyed to the east and the west, as well as across the Carrick Roads to the National Trust owned shoreline of the Roseland Peninsula. The surrounding countryside is also just as breathtakingly beautiful; Restronguet Point lies within the designated Cornwall Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The Fal Estuary is regarded as having some of the finest sailing waters in Britain with many creeks, inlets, beaches and waterside villages to explore directly from the property’s slipway. There are marina facilities available at Falmouth and Mylor, which are on the opposite side of the Carrick Roads, as well as exclusive St. Mawes. Within sailing distance is the historic River Fowey, as well as the renowned Helford River which has been immortalised by Daphne du Maurier, the famous author and playwright. There are many sailing clubs around the Carrick Roads which hold regattas throughout the season with Falmouth Week being the highlight of the year, and the Royal Cornwall Yacht Club in Falmouth often hosts world class events. There are good local facilities in the area with Truro, Cornwall’s capital city, approximately 5 miles away. Truro has the widest range of facilities in Cornwall including many supermarkets, businesses,
first class shopping, a wide range of restaurants and bars, a cinema and theatre. There is a good number of state and independent schooling in the area including Truro School, Truro Prep School, Truro High School for Girls and Naturally Learning Truro, an OFSTED outstanding-rated nursery school. Falmouth, approximately 10 miles away, is Cornwall’s premier south coast location and is steeped in maritime history. Renowned for its beaches, spectacular coastline and scenery, the town offers a fascinating mix of charming individual boutiques, shops and well known high street names. It has a reputation for its fresh sea food and an abundance of cafes and restaurants provide a selection of worldwide cuisine and traditional local food. Further afield, Cornwall offers a range of accessible attractions such as the Eden Project, the National Maritime Museum, the Lost Gardens of Heligan, and the Tate Gallery. Fine dining Michelin star and celebrity chef restaurants are in abundance, including Rick Stein (Falmouth, Padstow and Porthleven), Jamie Oliver (Fifteen), Nathan Outlaw (Port Isaac) and Paul Ainsworth (Padstow). Communication links are excellent. There is easy access to the A39 from Restronguet Point, connecting Cornwall to rest of the country, and a railway station from Truro has a mainline connection to London Paddington which takes approximately 4 ½ hours. Cornwall Airport Newquay, 24 miles away, offers international and national flights, including flights to London Heathrow taking just under an hour.
