Forget what you know about Cornwall—the fishermen’s cottages, sandy beaches and blustering cliffs and swap it for a Bauhaus-inspired, glass walled affair, with repurposed materials and pared-back styling in the heart of the countryside. It’s an upside-down type of home—upstairs is a cleverly laid out, open-plan living area and downstairs you’ll find contemporary but cosy bedrooms. Natural light pours through floor-to-ceiling apex windows, creating an inviting space for entertaining or for moments of relaxation. Outside, a terrace wraps around the side of the house, designed with al fresco meals in mind. Enjoy dinner by sunset, the only sound, the clattering of plates and clamour of conversation in your bucolic setting. Lace up your walking boots and weave through the Tamar River Valley—there are numerous hiking and cycling trails from your Harrowbarrow location. And if you prefer to take it slow on holiday, you’re a twenty-minute stroll from the pub, where a glass of something chilled and some hearty grub are impossible to resist.
