Detached House for sale with 11 bedrooms, St Just in Roseland, St Mawes

Timeless Luxury Etched in History, Framed by the Coast. The Pinnacle of Elegance with Breathtaking Wold Class Gardens. A Grade II* listed residence of exceptional architectural and historical significance, The Old Rectory is believed to date from 1680–1720, with elegant later Georgian enhancements. Over the past two decades, the property has been meticulously restored by its current owners, blending the grandeur of a country estate with the warmth and practicality of a family home. Every detail reflects its heritage, from hand-crafted fireplaces and bespoke joinery to the careful reinstatement of original features, including sash windows and traditional cast-iron rainwater goods. The result is a home of quiet refinement, timeless craftsmanship, and enduring Cornish character. The Drawing Room and Dining Room retain their generous proportions and classical detailing; each thoughtfully redecorated with subtle references to the home’s heritage. In the Drawing Room, a trompe l’oeil feature mirrors the original panelling, while the chimney breast and adjoining alcoves reflect the building’s Georgian origins. The Dining Room highlights period details and bespoke joinery, accentuating its historic character. Georgian windows in both principal reception rooms frame picturesque garden views. The ground floor has been sensitively reconfigured to improve circulation and daily functionality. A welcoming Entrance Hall leads to the Drawing Room and a spacious Library, complete with custom bookcases. A charming Sitting Room preserves original fittings from its former use as a laundry, including a copper wash tub and drying pegs. The Kitchen and Orangery form the heart of the home, designed for modern family life with a triple aspect and direct access to terraces and gardens. The Orangery, added in 2002, provides a year-round space perfect for entertaining or enjoying the shifting light of the Cornish coast. A secondary entrance connects to the Kitchen, Cloakroom, and Utility Room, with stairs descending to the Cellar level, which now accommodates a large Laundry Room, Gym or Games Area, and generous winter storage. On the first floor, a major reconfiguration created four expansive Bedroom Suites, with restored cornices, bespoke joinery, and window seats, accompanied by individually styled Bathrooms. The second floor offers two further double Bedrooms and a Family Bathroom, providing a versatile layout ideal for both family life and hosting guests. All Bedrooms enjoy views over the landscaped gardens. A central pathway leads through a flower and vegetable garden, featuring raised beds, a serene dipping pool, and a seating enclave with stunning views, ideal for alfresco entertaining. The rear gardens extend the sense of refined elegance, with a Mediterranean-style courtyard, meticulously sculpted topiary, and terraced lawns with majestic palms. From the viewing terrace, breathtaking panoramas stretch across the Carrick Roads, while the adjoining National Trust land offers unparalleled privacy and a sense of boundless space. Planting throughout the gardens is exceptional, showcasing specimen palms, camellias, heritage roses, and a selection of ornamental shrubs, all arranged to create an ever-changing tapestry of colour and fragrance. The gardens are further elevated by bespoke ironwork, hand-forged gates and railings, original sculptures, a Celtic cross, and a carved slate poem by Christina Rossetti. Period-style lanterns and thoughtfully placed lighting accentuate the sculptural and architectural details, imbuing the grounds with a serene, reflective ambiance.
