Trevarno

Set in over four and a half acres of private gardens in an ancient Cornish valley near Helston, this exciting home brings together a beautifully preserved Grade II-listed gamekeeper's lodge with a distinctly contemporary six-bedroom house. The subject of a Grand Designs episode in 2018, the architectural design combines the craft and precision of timber steam bending with natural materials and traditional building techniques, totalling over 3,440 sqft across its two storeys. A further 2,000 sqft extends across various outbuildings, including a yoga studio perched in the south-facing gardens. Enclosed by a canopy of trees, the setting is wonderfully quiet, while Helston and the golden beaches on the Lizard Peninsula can be reached in less than 10 minutes. Falmouth is around 30 minutes' drive away.
