The principal bedroom is a particularly airy space and is set beneath a pitched roofline that lends an exaggerated sense of volume. Storage is provided by a wide bank of subtle white built-in wardrobes.
Outdoor Space
Acre-strong grounds surround the house, lending a feel of privacy. A particularly large lawned area unfolds at the rear of the house, against a backdrop that slopes down towards the sea. Mature trees are dotted around the periphery and lend shady respite on the brightest of days.
Seating areas have been tactically placed to abut the house, an arrangement that lends convenience and elevated vantage points. Planted beds line an external wall that delineates the front and rear gardens and are filled with agapanthus, echiums, roses, lavender and palms.
The Area
Cornwall’s south coast, facing the English Channel, is the fairer counterpart to its rugged, Atlantic-bashed northern side. This is the Cornwall of sheltered fishing villages, fields that gently slope into tidal creeks and verdant gardens filled with exotic plants that take to the warm summers.
Within Cornwall's North Helford coast, Bow Green lies on the peripheries of Falmouth. Extraordinary landscape surrounds the house and can be reached on foot; Maenporth's sandy beach is a half-mile walk away via a public footpath and has a cafe as well as watersport facilities. Bow Green's position makes it a brilliant foothold to explore further afield too; the gardens of Gelndurgan and Trebah are close by, as is the Helford River for sailing and beautiful beaches.
Falmouth is built around the world's third-largest natural harbour. In the summer, the town is a haven for sailors, with club racing finishing three times a week on the water within sight of the house. The town has plentiful independent provisors, a flourishing cultural and art scene, several galleries and an increasingly excellent range of restaurants, including Hylton Espey’s Michelin-starred Culture restaurant at Custom House Quay.
The county town of Truro is around half an hour's drive north; with a broad selection of shops, restaurants, cafes, and services. Newlyn can be reached in around an hour and is a popular town that has been renowned for its art scene since the 1880s. Also around an hour's drive from the house are geodesic biome domes at the Eden Project and Tate St Ives.
Travel links to south Cornwall are very good, with the A30 dual carriageway just north of Truro giving fast access to the M5 motorway at Exeter. Direct trains from Truro to London Paddington run just over four hours, with hourly services. Cornwall Airport (Newquay) also provides regular shuttle flights to London Gatwick, Stansted and many other seasonal European destinations and is 50 minutes’ drive from Maenporth.
