Gawen House is a truly impressive detached home, significantly extended and modernised since its original build in 1973, and now offering an exceptional standard of living across more than 3,170 sq ft in one of the most enviable settings in the area. Nestled within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, the property enjoys stunning estuary views over the creekside village of Forder, which feeds into the River Lynher — with beautiful country walks on your doorstep, including Churchtown Farm, and the newly established Shillingham vineyard, the largest in the Southwest, close by. Offered with no onward chain, this is a rare opportunity not to be missed. The property immediately impresses with a generous driveway providing off-road parking for four to five vehicles.

A cosy separate sitting room with a woodburner provides the ideal retreat on cooler evenings. There is also a generous home office and reception room which could equally serve as a snug or additional living space, offering yet more versatility. Leading off the office is a handy gym or bedroom — a flexible space that could serve as an additional study, hobby room, or occasional bedroom. A well-equipped utility room and a convenient downstairs WC complete the ground floor.
