The Cowshed

Once a former 1930's farm building, The Cowshed has been flawlessly renovated using repurposed materials to create the super-stylish holiday home found today.  The welcoming entrance leads into a large light filled open plan living area with lofty ceiling and relaxing ambiance.  The unique layout of the barn has been cleverly crafted to maximise the sense of space yet create separate areas for holiday life.  The living space really is the hub to the barn with oversized corner sofa and state of the art technology from the Airplay wireless music options to the large wall mounted TV with SKY.  This versatile space is perfect for cosy evenings catching up by the fire or for relaxed mornings planning the days exploration.  A stylish glass and polished steel staircase leads down a level to the enviable dining room and kitchen.  This fully fitted designer kitchen is perfect for holiday cooking from fine dining celebratory occasions or simply a casual brunch, every dish, pan and pot have been carefully choosen. The chic white dining table offers ample space and seating for 10 guests set under the sunny window. From the living room the hallway leads with level access to three beautiful bedrooms each individually styled and worthy of any boutique hotel, sink under luxury linens at the days end.  The fourth bedroom is found on the mezzanine level above the living room, this zip & lock bedroom offers wonderful views of the sea and offers a lofty space with large wall mounted TV and SKY channels.  The collection of contemporary bathrooms are no less considered from the handmade jade green wash basin to the locally made Trevarno toiletries, de-sand and de-salt in style after a day on the coast.  The whole barn has been thoughtfully decorated in a fusion of cool white and blue hues with the colour of the local artwork adding warmth and personal character.

To the front of The Cowshed is a large paved area leading to raised sun trap area with sun-loungers and breathtaking views across the fields and down to the sea and Percuil River that flanks the coastal town of St Mawes, what a view!  At the gable end of the barn is a bespoke seating area (perfect for a sundowner) with all weather corner sofa and coffee table and also a larger dining table where up to 10 guests can choose to dine al fresco as the sun sets over the fields. The open field is available for everyone to enjoy, whether the children are playing football or you choose to gather for a picnic.
