Penwellow, St. Johns Close, Millbrook, PL10

This individual and beautifully crafted home offers exceptional living space, versatile accommodation and idyllic surroundings, set within the sought-after lakeside village of Millbrook. Completed in 2005 to a bespoke design, the house enjoys a commanding position with far-reaching views over Millbrook Lake and surrounding countryside, while also boasting manicured private gardens, a double garage, ample driveway parking, and a wealth of light-filled interior space across two principal floors.

Ground Floor

The lower level of the home serves either as an expansive self-contained suite or ideal guest/family accommodation. From the main entrance hallway, two generous double bedrooms sit quietly to the rear - one of which is currently configured as a cinema room/snug - with easy access to a spacious bathroom complete with both bath and walk-in shower. A dedicated utility kitchen provides scope for independent living arrangements if desired. Internal access leads into the impressively proportioned double garage, which offers parking for two vehicles plus a useful laundry area to the rear. A beautifully finished garden room with glazed walls offers a tranquil space from which to admire the surrounding grounds. Additional storage is provided by two walk-in cupboards and a low level wine store.

First Floor

Rising to the upper floor, a sweeping open-plan living/dining space forms the heart of the home. This exceptional 9m-long room is triple-aspect and features a striking Cotswold stone fireplace as its centrepiece. Glazed double doors open onto a full-width covered balcony, from which panoramic views stretch across Millbrook, the estuary, and green hills beyond. The living area flows naturally into a warm oak-fitted kitchen with granite worksurfaces, integrated appliances and a breakfast bar. Beyond, a superb vaulted sunroom enjoys wraparound glazing and tiled flooring, making the most of the remarkable setting. The principal bedroom is dual-aspect and enjoys its own access to the balcony, with a stylish en-suite bathroom and fitted wardrobes. A further double bedroom is served by a separate WC and hallway storage.

The Grounds

Outside, the landscaped gardens wrap around the property, bordered by mature trees, shrubs and original stone walls. A central lawn is surrounded by curved brick pathways, planted beds and secluded seating areas including a raised paved terrace, ideal for entertaining or quiet reflection. The setting is incredibly private, with a peaceful outlook and no direct overlooking from neighbouring properties. A large brick-paved driveway provides off-road parking for several vehicles, and the property enjoys excellent road access, with additional on-street parking just beyond the driveway.

The Situation

Located within the charming Cornish village of Millbrook on the Rame Peninsula, the home enjoys the best of coastal and countryside living. The village offers local amenities, a primary school, and strong community spirit, with easy access to the beaches of Whitsand Bay and ferry links to Plymouth. Millbrook Lake, visible from the home, offers mooring and boating facilities, while the surrounding countryside provides walking and wildlife in abundance.
