The standout aspect of this project was the seamless integration of old and new, the character of the original house complemented by a clean, contemporary extension. The considered use of materials had a significant impact on the quality of the final result. It was a pleasure collaborating with Angus Webster Architects, Millard & Flo, the landscape team, and the structural and ecological specialists. Every contributor played a valuable role, and the outcome is one we can all be immensely proud of.” Terence Bourton, Project Manager

Step Inside
Step inside Lykke and discover a beautifully restored farmhouse, where heritage meets contemporary style. The home blends natural textures, oak detailing and abundant light, creating a space designed for relaxation and rejuvenation.
Enter through the hallway, a practical yet charming introduction to the home where you can find the downstairs w/c and utility room, before flowing into the open-plan kitchen, dining and snug area. This relaxing, sociable space is perfect for family gatherings or quiet evenings.
A glass link connects the original farmhouse to the stunning timber extension, where a generous living space with a log burner and deep seating awaits. Sliding doors lead out to the terrace, creating a seamless connection between indoor and outdoor living.
Upstairs, four Scandanavian inspired bedrooms await. The primary bedroom in the extension features a super king bed and a private balcony overlooking the wellness space and forest. Three further bedrooms in the original farmhouse include two doubles with bespoke storage and a custom-built bunk room for children or extra guests. The family bathroom and en-suites offer rainfall showers for a spa-like experience.
The garden is home to a private wellness space with a wood-fired hot tub, barrel sauna, outdoor shower – the perfect setting for relaxation and reflection.
On Your Doorstep
Step outside and Lykke’s deep connection to nature reveals itself in every direction. Designed by award-winning landscape designer Darren Hawkes, the gardens wrap the cottage in sculptural planting, gentle textures and meandering pathways that mirror the calm of the interiors. Secluded seating spots invite slow mornings with a book, while the woodland-framed sauna, wood-fired hot tub offer quiet places to stretch, breathe and reset.
Beyond the garden gate, the historic Lanhydrock Estate becomes your extended landscape. Explore miles of National Trust parkland on foot or by bike, wander peaceful woodland trails, or spend an afternoon discovering the grandeur and history of Lanhydrock House. It’s a setting that encourages unhurried exploration and a softer pace of life.
Lykke’s central Cornwall location makes the wider county effortlessly accessible. To the south, the harbour towns of Lostwithiel, Fowey and Mevagissey invite leisurely lunches, coastal walks and independent shops. Head north to Padstow and Mawgan Porth to find sweeping beaches, surf breaks and dramatic moorland scenery – all within 30 minutes. The Eden Project, with its iconic biomes and environmental focus, is also just a short drive away.
With easy access to the A30 and Bodmin Parkway Station only 10 minutes away by taxi (direct trains reach London Paddington in around four hours), arriving at Lykke feels refreshingly simple.
