8 bed detached house for sale

St. Ewe, St. Austell PL26

A handsome Grade II Listed former rectory, offering beautifully proportioned accommodation and set within approximately 2.75 acres of mature and private grounds. Together with The Stables, a thoughtfully converted three-bedroom ancillary residence, Nantuat provides a rare combination of architectural character, flexibility and space in the heart of the sought-after village of St Ewe.

Approached via a sweeping driveway, the house enjoys an immediate sense of arrival, with its elegant courtyard setting and classical façade. A columned entrance opens into a welcoming vestibule and central hallway, from which the principal reception rooms unfold. These include a spacious living room, a generous dining room and a dual-aspect drawing room, all of which retain the scale and proportion expected of a house of this period. A study provides further versatility and a quieter retreat for working from home or reading.

At the far end of the hall lies the kitchen, a particularly impressive space arranged around an Aga and designed to work well for both family life and entertaining. Tall sash windows bring in an abundance of natural light, while the scale of the room gives it real presence as the central hub of the house.

Upstairs, a graceful staircase rises to a bright landing beneath a glazed cupola. The principal bedroom suite and guest bedroom both enjoy en suite facilities, while three further bedrooms are served by a stylish family bathroom and separate dressing room.

Located to the side of the main house, The Stables provides exceptionally useful ancillary accommodation with its own entrance. The upper floor comprises a principal and guest bedroom, while on the ground floor there is a further en suite bedroom together with a kitchen and garden room.

Overall, it's a distinguished village house of genuine character, combining period elegance with highly adaptable accommodation in one of South Cornwall’s most attractive rural settings.
