DESCRIPTION 3 Tolcarne Stores is one of three exceptional conversions of a former fishing warehouse undertaken about 10 years go. Number 3 is the largest, extending to about 1,440sq.ft. and was retained by the developers as their own private residence. The time has now come to sell and the property is

offered in such good decorative order that it still has the feeling of being brand new. The property is found in the heart of Newlyn, beside the river and was constructed so that its ground floor was above the 100 year flood plain. A south west facing terrace enjoys an outlook across the river and the flowing waters also provide an interesting benefit as a heat pump system takes energy from the warmth of the water and converts it into the energy fuelling the domestic hot water and the underfloor heating which is found across all three floors. In addition, there is a pebbled triangular patio to the front and about 50 yards away is a parking space for a small car. This gorgeous granite and slate roofed building has been truly transformed inside with other natural materials such as oak, slate and polished granite worktops on the kitchen being in a more contemporary style to the exposed internal stone walls which abut a mix of white painted rendered walls and a zero maintenance wall stretching through the floors with crushed glass incorporated in it. Very intelligent design has been utilised to maximise the enjoyment of living in 3 Tolcarne Stores, rather than filling the space with as many rooms as possible. Huge light wells extend over the entirety of the three floors to both the front and rear with roof windows over flooding the interior with light although there are also sizeable windows for each room on each floor. Suspended sheer sided oak staircases rise up through the floors with frameless glass balustrades aiding light transfer and adding to the feeling of space. The ground floor is effectively one 35’ long semi open-plan space with a dining area to the front, lounge to the rear and a stunning contemporary kitchen along one wall. Loosely dividing the spaces is a central built section with sliding frosted glass door opening to a shower room/wc and an oak door to the pump room. On the first floor are two good sized bedrooms

with windows either to the front or rear and their own light wells although they also have tall arrow slit windows looking into the main light wells. Between them is a stunning slate lined bathroom with sunken bath and rain head shower over. The sanitaryware throughout the building is designed by Philippe Starck and produced by Duravit adding to the style and quality. The top floor is absolutely stunning as it comprises one huge master bedroom under a 12’ high vaulted ceiling lit by banks of roof windows to the front and rear. The oak flooring is underfloor heated even at this level and to one side is a limestone clad semi open-plan bathroom with his and hers wash basins and a double ended bath set under a roof window. It is so rare to find a property of such style and substance anywhere let alone less than 200 yards from the seafront and this truly is a property that must be seen to be appreciated.

LOCATION 3 Tolcarne Stores is close to the harbour and fish market and just a short walk from a good selection of shops and a beach overlooking Mounts Bay.
