Scandinavian Inspired Retreat near St Ives

Set beside a river within four acres of Cornish countryside, this exquisite three bedroom retreat combines contemporary architecture, natural materials and serene garden views to create an exceptional sense of calm. Designed with Scandinavian influences and a strong connection to its surroundings, the home has been featured in Enki and Country Homes & Interiors and has also attracted interest as a photographic location.

Across two spacious levels, light filled interiors showcase bespoke furnishings and carefully considered details. The principal living space brings together the kitchen, dining area and lounge, where a wood burning stove and underfloor heating create a warm and inviting atmosphere throughout the seasons. Expansive sliding doors open onto a deck furnished for outdoor relaxation, complete with a firepit and fully equipped outdoor kitchen.

The upper level is home to the impressive super king bedroom, accompanied by a freestanding bathtub, private sauna and beautiful riverside outlook. Doors lead directly onto an elevated terrace overlooking the surrounding fields and gardens. A king bedroom and double bedroom provide two additional peaceful sleeping spaces, complemented by elegant shower rooms.

Outside, established greenery, landscaped grounds and the river create a tranquil and private setting. Access across a small bridge adds to the home’s distinctive character, while parking for two vehicles and an electric car charging point provide practical convenience.

The property is particularly suited to adults. Unfenced water and steep drops within the grounds mean young children require continuous adult supervision.
