A striking brand-new 3 bedroom house within an exclusive waterside development, set within the picturesque village of Golant. Perfectly positioned to capture breathtaking views of the Fowey River, this exceptional residence seamlessly blends striking contemporary design with premium materials and an exemplary finish throughout.
An oversized pivot entrance door creates a dramatic first impression and sets the scene perfectly. The entrance hall provides access to a discreet door leading to a ground-floor WC, while a contemporary staircase descends to the lower ground floor. The hallway opens directly into the spectacular double-aspect, 36-foot open-plan kitchen, dining and lounge space, which enjoys breathtaking, uninterrupted river views through three expansive sliding doors, perfectly framing the stunning scenery. A second set of south-facing double sliding doors flood the interior with additional natural light, while together, these openings create seamless access to both a spacious balcony and a separate generously sized walled terrace—connecting the indoor and outdoor spaces effortlessly. A striking vaulted ceiling enhances the sense of space, and a sleek, bespoke navy kitchen with a feature island, Neff appliances and contrasting white quartz worktops has been designed with both style and functionality in mind. A Contura wood burner adds warmth and character to the stylish living area, while premium engineered oak flooring extends throughout the living area and hallway, complementing both the relaxed style and contemporary finish. There is also a premium Sonos sound system built into the living area.
The lower ground floor is home to the three spacious bedrooms, all are excellent doubles, with the ability to house super king beds and each enjoys the stunning views via sliding doors that open onto lean-over glass balconies. The main bedroom has an en suite bathroom, with both a freestanding bath and a double shower cubicle. A family shower room services the other two bedrooms and both are fitted with luxurious Lusso Stone sanitary ware and Crosswater stainless steel fittings, which combine with marble and slate tiles.
Within the hallway, hidden behind bi-folding doors, is a discreet utility cupboard housing space for a washing machine and tumble dryer, as well as a useful sink.
A wet underfloor heating system throughout is powered by an air-source heat pump, and a state-of-the-art MVHR (mechanical ventilation heat recovery) system ensures comfort and further energy efficiency. The lighting design, created by the award-winning Lighting by Plum, is controlled via a Loxone smart home automation system, allowing for effortless ambience control.
The exterior showcases an elegant combination of Siberian larch cladding, lime-covered brick and limestone tiles, creating a stunning contemporary yet also low maintenance aesthetic. Kingfisher House has been built to the high quality materials and standards of craftsmanship that are rarely seen. It also benefits from a comprehensive new-build warranty, providing peace of mind for years to come. The property also benefits from a fibre broadband connection, with ultrafast speeds of 300+ Mbps available, making it an ideal location for remote working too.
Golant is a tranquil and picturesque waterside village situated on the westerly bank of the River Fowey, just a short distance upstream from Fowey Harbour. This idyllic and unspoilt village is a haven for a diverse range of beautiful wildlife and is formally designated as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
Located on one of the most scenic stretches of the river, Golant is the perfect base from which to explore this stunning part of Cornwall and is home to an active year-round community. Unsurprisingly, it is very popular with watersports enthusiasts, including keen sailors, rowers, kayakers and paddleboarders. Within the village, Paddle Cornwall River Encounters offers excellent guided tours of the river, watersports lessons and equipment hire. There is also a thriving rowing club. The river leads upstream to the picture-perfect village of Lerryn and beyond to the historic town of Lostwithiel. A short trip downstream from Golant brings you to Penmarlam, Polruan and Fowey.
The village is home to an excellent public house, The Fisherman’s Arms, which sits on the harbour front, just moments away from the entrance to **The Cormorant**. On the outskirts of the village is Bar Silo, a family-run live music venue that hosts numerous superb events throughout the year.
Immediately to the rear of The Cormorant, and accessible via a communal pedestrian gate within the development, is the Saints’ Way public footpath, which provides a scenic and direct traffic free walk into neighbouring Fowey. From Fowey, the South West Coast Path can be accessed, offering mile upon mile of spectacular coastal walks along Cornwall’s magnificent coastline.
Fowey Harbour is renowned for its excellent sailing facilities and boat-building heritage. Throughout the summer, the harbour is always bustling with a variety of interesting river and sea-going vessels. Fowey itself boasts numerous excellent restaurants, pubs and hotels, as well as boutique shops. The town also hosts several major cultural and maritime events, including the renowned Daphne du Maurier Literary Festival and the Fowey Royal Regatta.
Golant is also easily accessed, being just 20 minutes drive from the A30 at Bodmin. There are mainline railway stations at nearby Lostwithiel, Par and Bodmin, with numerous daily trains going to London Paddington. Newquay International Airport also offers regular flights to London, as well as other destinations around the UK and across Europe.
A sloping entrance drive ascends up to a large communal parking area, where there are two designated parking spaces for each property and a visitors space. Each property also has an electric charging point within their designated spaces.
The entrance to the property is an easy and level walk from the car park. A large balcony and enclosed walled terrace are accessed from the living area, both offering stunning uninterrupted views of the river. The terrace also features a power supply for a hot tub and an outdoor shower.
