The Baobab

Open Plan Kitchen and Dining Area

Modern in architecture but bohemian at heart, this space is designed for large get-togethers. With reclaimed Kentucky barn oak cupboards that are adorned with slate countertops, the kitchen is home to its fair share of well-crafted fixtures. You'll find a timber beamed ceiling, hand-hewn lime plaster walls and a commanding stone-topped kitchen island complete with a pair of bar stools. Featuring far-reaching estuary views, draw open the triple slide doors at the far end of the space for an effortless transition to the outdoor terrace. Sheltered by a wall of sweet-scented lilac, guests are welcome to forage through the herb garden just beyond the sliding doors, in search of fresh ingredients to perfect their dishes.

You’ll find an Everhot 120i electric range cooker with an induction hob for large family occasions, while a bean to cup coffee machine caters for post-dinner drinks and early morning pick-me-ups. Two Bosch dishwashers and a double Shaws sink will keep everything tidied away, and the large stainless steel fridge-freezer makes plenty of space for locally grown produce from Padstow Kitchen Garden nearby. Meanwhile, a rustic walk-in larder provides additional storage with slate worktops and a butler sink.

Between the kitchen and dining space sit two wingback chairs, a lime green velvet sofa and an inglenook log burner, which is framed by a reclaimed oak mantlepiece. The perfect setting for cocktail classes, a built-in bar is hidden behind rattan bi-fold doors and features an extensive range of glassware, mixology tools and a drinks fridge. The wood burner is perfectly located for warming this large open space during the colder months.

Designed to comfortably seat 14 guests, the dining table is centrally located so that everyone can enjoy the real pièce de resistance: tidal views over the Camel Estuary. Low hanging rattan lampshades create a cosy ambience, while French oak parquet flooring sits beneath the large table and antique chairs. 

Please note guests with pacemakers should avoid using the induction hob as this can interfere with the device.

Living Area

Enjoying spectacular views over the gardens, the living area sits just off from the dining area and is fronted by huge triple sliding doors onto the decking. Smooth plaster-washed walls, floors and ceilings work to create a welcoming environment for gathering the whole family. A large L-shaped sofa takes centre stage, mirroring the surrounding valleys and woodlands that flank the estuary, while bohemian textures add softness. The 4K laser projector, 110" screen and built-in 5.1 surround sound speakers call for home cinema nights, while an additional open fire sits just underneath. There's also log storage housed underneath the hearth, ready to keep the room cosy during winter storm-watching.

Snug

Separated from the main living spaces, the snug is a great breakout for peaceful moments alone. Walls painted in Paint and Paper Library's "chocolate" coupled with farm-oak parquet flooring create a slumberous vibe, while a dark wooden Indian dresser, period bureau and a biscuit coloured corner sofa add warmth and character to this otherwise minimalist room. Complete with 55-inch LG Oled TV and PlayStation 4, youngsters can flick through endless films or participate in competitive games nights.

Bedroom Five with En-Suite

Light and inviting, expect a continuation of this home’s signature style in bedroom five. Forest green throws and cushions adorn the super king bed, while little ones can ascend a wooden ladder to the built-in mezzanine cabin to find an equally cosy sleeping spot for two. On warmer evenings, pull back the sliding doors for direct access onto the patio, where a private woodland and grassy lawn lie just beyond.

In the corner of the room, a freestanding French tub occupies an envious spot overlooking the countryside, while a cactus green tiled bathroom with a waterfall shower sits opposite.

Bedroom Six with Shower Room

Accessible from bedroom five, a short flight of steps reveals this private suite for two. Finished in tonal greens, a king sized bed rests comfortably opposite endless woodland views, and a walk-in wardrobe offers sufficient storage space. A Moroccan jute rug paired with rattan bedside lights add a touch of homespun personality to this wabi-sabi boudoir, and a freestanding period French copper bath tub finishes the space. 

Gilded with pink tumbled marble tiles and antiqued brass fittings, a separate shower room can be found opposite, designed for luxurious relaxation.

Separate Living Space and Kitchenette

Drawing inspiration from Japanese aesthetics, the open plan living and kitchenette space of bedroom six is the perfect spot for enjoying peaceful moments away from the rest of the group. Complete with a retro Smeg fridge-freezer, electric range cooker and LG Oled TV, sink into the sofa as your morning coffee brews, to reconnect with neighbouring wildlife. During the warmer months, pull back the sliding doors to bask in the summer sun from the private patio. 

This space also benefits from private access at the end of the house, plus parking for another two cars.

Entranceway

Warm modernist interiors, mink plaster-washed walls and polished floors make way for an effortlessly cool open plan hallway. Sitting at the bottom of this split levelled space, sliding doors lead straight out to the garden, which is home to views of rolling hills and a glistening estuary. With the kitchen lying to the right and the snug to the left, transition between each open space with ease as you're greeted by the great outdoors.

Encompassing a vast wicker central pendant light, the chestnut open-riser staircase allows natural light to flood the downstairs level, highlighting the contrast between the home's modern and repurposed finishings.

Utility

Just off from the main entrance, this large utility is complete with an LG washing machine and tumble dryer, as well as a large farmhouse sink, and a ceiling mounted drying rack. With polished walnut worktops and reclaimed oak cabinetry, send any laundry down the chute from the upstairs space directly into the basket for washing.

Kit Room 

Perfect for watersports enthusiasts, take to the kit room with wetsuits after busy days exploring North Cornwall’s beautiful bays. After rinsing off outside, hang beachwear to dry above the repurposed farmer’s trough. 

WC

To the right of the front door, you’ll find a small WC complete with a 1940s style sink, smooth concrete floors and charred timber cladding.

Boot Room and Garage

This garage has been utilised as a space to store sandy wellies, surfboards and equipment after days spent on nearby beaches.
