Lower Croft West’ occupies a truly wonderful rural setting, within the rolling countryside of the Tregavethan Valley. The property is approached along a gravelled drive which after two granite gate posts becomes a tarmacadam driveway which winds past the house, leading to a large gravelled parking area. The original historic cottage was converted, and the enormous wood-clad extension added in 1993, designed and supervised by the architect Roderick Jones (Founder of the Green Oak Company in Devon).

The design incorporates the rustic charm of the original structure, retaining its exposed stone walls and slate flagged floors and marries it with the contemporary finish, exposed timbers and impressive open reception spaces of the extension.

A glazed stable door opens into a charming kitchen breakfast room, which is dual aspect overlooking the gardens and sun terrace.It incorporates a subtle blend between the old and new.Beautiful slate floors, fitted on three sides with cream units with black polished granite worktops, and a fantastic Lacanche gas range.From the kitchen there is a good-sized utility room and a walk-in pantry.The kitchen is linked to the main extension by a Baltic Pine’ conservatory/dining room, a wonderful entertaining space, with doors opening onto the south-facing terrace.
