Oakfield

This three-bedroom oak-framed contemporary house sits high on a valley side in the hamlet of Rosecare, near Cornwall's far north coast, with 180-degree views sweeping across hills and valleys and out to sea. A peaceful rural retreat for families and groups, the property sits within five acres of open grounds with a striking sense of light and space throughout.

Crackington Haven (2 miles), a small cove framed by dramatic cliffs, lies around 2 miles away and is a favourite with walkers and beach lovers. Further along the coast, the wide sandy sweep of Widemouth Bay (6 miles) and the seaside town of Bude (9 miles), with its restaurants, shops, and activities, are both within reach.

The A39 runs around 1 mile from the property, connecting the house to the wider attractions of North Cornwall and beyond. The ground-floor living room is anchored by a wood burner and framed by floor-to-ceiling windows, with French doors opening onto the west-facing terrace and views down the valley toward the coast.

An adjoining kitchen/diner is equally generous, with double-aspect floor-to-ceiling glass, French doors to the south-facing terrace, and a comfortable seating area with sofa. The master bedroom is reached through a feature bookcase door.

Inside, double-aspect full-length windows fill the room with light and open onto the terrace. A super-king-size bed sits between two built-in wardrobes, and the en-suite bathroom has a bath, separate shower enclosure, WC, and bidet.

A second double bedroom has access to the Jack and Jill bathroom, which is also accessible from the main hallway, with a bath, shower attachment, separate shower enclosure, and a WC. The twin bedroom and a separate cloakroom with a WC completes the ground floor.

A laundry room sits alongside. A staircase leads to the first-floor galleried games room, fitted with a Velux window and a view out to sea.
