A showstopping restored barn inspired by the surrounding countryside and the vibrant blues of Cornwall’s rugged north coast. Nestled down quiet country lanes, yet just a short drive from the foodie haven of Padstow, the market town of Wadebridge, and Cornwall’s north coast. Reimagined by Gems Interiors creating a luxurious sense of place rooted in nature. At the heart of the home is a sprawling, light-filled open-plan kitchen, dining, and living space, and a dual-aspect glass-fronted fireplace leading invitingly through to a snug and garden room. Seven beautifully appointed bedrooms, including a spectacular primary suite with glazed doors to a private terrace overlooking the Camel Estuary. All bedrooms are individually styled with textural fabrics and complete with elegant en-suite bathrooms. Private annexe with the seventh bedroom, games room with a pool/billiard table, a fully equipped bar area, and a 55’ TV, perfect for sharing sporting fixtures. Expansive gardens with heated outdoor pool, private tennis court - perfect for evenings around the firepit under starry skies. Rockabye forms part of our Eco-Conscious Collection, featuring energy-efficient appliances, sustainable building materials, thoughtful water and energy-saving measures, native planting, and hedgehog-friendly spaces.
Cornish Gems are excited to introduce this fabulous, exclusive home, expertly redesigned by our Gems Interiors Team.

Step Inside
Step into this beautifully restored barn, where original features meet bold colours, bespoke furnishings and artisan craftsmanship, all thoughtfully curated by Gems Interiors.
The high-ceilinged hallway sets the tone with oak herringbone floors, botanical artwork and sculptural lighting by Tom Raffield. A gracefully curved oak staircase, crafted by Cornish artisans, leads to the upper floor.
Downstairs, in the main living space, large windows frame sweeping garden and estuary views, filling the room with light. Forest green sofas, patterned armchairs and a dual-aspect fireplace create an inviting atmosphere. The snug, with velvet sofas and Sonos speakers, flows into a garden room complete with French antique-style furniture and panoramic glass, for morning coffee or sunset views.
The deep green kitchen by Torben Schmid boasts a generous island, Everhot range and bespoke joinery, opening into the dining room where a reclaimed-beam light installation, designed by Gems Interiors, hangs over a 14-seat table. Vast glass doors lead to a terrace, with an XL Big Green Egg and a spacious outdoor dining setup, for alfresco feasts.
Seven uniquely styled bedrooms, including one in the private annexe, offer extraordinary furnishings and indulgent bathrooms with artisanal details. Leisure spaces include a games room, private pool, tennis court, apple orchard and multiple outdoor seating areas, one with a firepit.
Available from August 2025, this home pairs coastal charm with countryside tranquillity, perfect for unforgettable gatherings.
On Your Doorstep
Set in rolling countryside just outside Wadebridge, Rockabye offers a peaceful yet well-connected base for exploring North Cornwall’s spectacular coastline, charming towns and family-friendly attractions.
In Padstow, enjoy classic seaside moments – crabbing along the harbour wall, ice cream by the water and a visit to the National Lobster Hatchery. For excitement on the waves, try a speedboat trip or a Sealife Safari to spot dolphins, seals and seabirds. Beach days are plentiful, with the Seven Bays – including Harlyn, Treyarnon, and Constantine – offering golden sand, surf schools and rock-pooling fun.
Food lovers will be spoiled with nearby dining. In Padstow, savour Rick Stein’s Seafood Restaurant, Prawn on the Lawn or Paul Ainsworth at No. 6 for a Michelin-starred experience. For relaxed Italian-inspired meals, Rojano’s in the Square is a family favourite. Across the estuary in Rock, The Mariners elevates pub classics, or head to the 15th-century St Kew Inn for long summer lunches in its garden.
Walkers can explore the South West Coast Path, with routes like Padstow to Trevone or Polzeath to Port Isaac revealing wild headlands, sheltered coves, and panoramic sea views. Closer to home, Wadebridge offers independent shops, cosy cafes, and the scenic Camel Trail – a traffic-free path perfect for walking or cycling along the estuary from Bodmin to Padstow.
The region’s calendar brims with events. In spring, Padstow May Day fills the streets with music, colour, and dancing. Summer brings the Rock Oyster Festival’s mix of food, music, and family fun, while Boardmasters near Newquay combines world-class surfing and live music.
