Description

Situated on around 26.79 acres, Hill House is a stunning architectural residence that harmonizes with its surroundings while offering breathtaking panoramic views of farmland, local villages, St Austell, and the sea beyond.

Constructed from Cornish granite sourced directly from the site, and incorporating a rear wall from the two original tin mining cottages that once stood there, this exceptional home was completed in 2024. It features a wealth of style and technology. Charred timber cladding and zinc roofing beautifully complement the original stone, creating a contemporary look that is perfect for the historic industrial landscape it inhabits.

The meticulous attention to detail and outstanding quality of the finish are evident throughout, including Herringbone solid oak and limestone floors with underfloor heating. Luxe aluminium doors and windows, along with dark brushed sockets and switches, contribute to the overall style and cohesion of the design. Additionally, advanced features such as an alarm system, a Sedum roof over the office, air source heating, and water filtration systems ensure cutting-edge low-energy living.
