DESCRIPTION 13 Tara Vale is a handsome detached modern home constructed in 2013 of an interesting design with a slate and brick faced gabled wing to the front and slate roof. Although the frontage is attractive and impressive, what lies beyond is sensational as the southerly outlook to the rear is over many miles of beautiful, unspoilt countryside including over the publicly accessible Cubert Common. Our clients have reorganised the interior on the ground floor as they felt there was the potential to make much more of the views with larger windows and bigger rooms. The result
3 is a wonderful semi open-plan light filled and contemporary arrangement of the principal rooms with spacious separate halls, a utility room and family room/fifth bedroom allowing clutter to be kept to a minimum. In addition, there is a door into the integral single garage and off the hall is a large wc fitted with Villeroy & Boch sanitaryware that potentially has space for a ground floor shower. A spacious lounge with a huge amount of glazing to the front and a woodburning stove, has a broad full height opening through to the kitchen/dining room which stretches across the entire length of the rear of the main part of the house. These spaces feel all the more connected by engineered oak flooring throughout which is underfloor heated via an air source heat pump. Much of the kitchen has been refitted as it was made larger and now has twin Siemens ovens as well as a very wide window and sliding patio doors to soak in the views and light. As one would expect, the whole house is also double glazed. On the first floor is a generous square feeling landing with a walk-in airing cupboard off housing a pressurised hot water cylinder. All of the four bedrooms are doubles with the master bedroom having a highly specified en-suite shower room. The family bathroom is also fitted with Villeroy & Boch sanitaryware and is very stylish.
4 In addition to the integral garage there is a brick paved driveway providing parking for two large cars side by side. The front garden is screened by a Cornish stone hedge with planted top and there is also a Cornish hedge at the bottom of the rear garden with fenced sides giving security and privacy. The rear garden is mostly lawned making it ideal for children and pets with a patio outside of the dining room perfectly placed to take in views. The access to one side of the house is gated and to the other side is a modern timber shed. Outside lighting, power points and an outdoor surf shower complete this property which has proved ideal as a main home but could also be considered as a generously proportioned lock-up and leave holiday property or holiday rental investment due to its very short walking distance to the centre of Crantock with the beach beyond. LOCATION Crantock is one of the county s most sought after north coast villages as it is picturesque and protected from the weather behind the sand dunes at the back of the long sandy Crantock beach with the Gannel Estuary flowing down one side. There are very few estuaries on the north coast and so its rare sheltered waters are revered for bathing and perfect for children to play away from the excellent surfing along the rest of the beach. There are walks through the sand dunes and then around the mostly National Trust owned coastline to other beaches at Porth Joke and Holywell. There are also walks up the Gannel Estuary at lower states of tide and it is possible to cross over to Pentire and Newquay, with a summertime ferry also making the short journey. In the village there is a tea rooms and restaurant, an inn and a general store. There are further services nearby at Cubert where there is also an excellent countryside inn and primary school. The nearby resort town of Newquay offers a full range of shops and services including out of town retail areas, many bars, restaurants and cafés as well as a sports centre, a branch line railway and schooling. Under half an hour s drive to the south is Cornwall s capital
5 city of Truro where there are three private schools and a comprehensive range of local and national retailers along with many clubs and societies.
