A Modern Cottage with Pink Plaster Walls and a Central Courtyard Garden
Set back from a quiet lane, on a secluded, leafy plot in the Cornish village of Constantine, stands this charming, modern cottage that has been carefully renovated and extended by its current owners.
The 1,250-square-foot cottage has been carefully redesigned to make every inch count, while creating comfortable, modern interior spaces around a leafy courtyard, blending the indoors with the lush garden.
Throughout the living spaces, a micro cement floor is paired with soft, powder-pink plaster walls and pitched ceilings, blending a modern look with soft color tones for a serene atmosphere.
The bespoke kitchen is handcrafted with oak joinery, black cabinets, and a gray countertop. A long wooden shelf above the counter space, topped with a long, vertical window, creates an open look.
Tucked between the kitchen and the living room is a nice dining space with a large window overlooking the garden, built-in shelves for wine storage, and plants to bring the outdoors in.
On the other side, a cozy seating area is centered around a log-burning stove. A picture window on one side and glazed doors on the other flood the room with natural light and extend the living area in the warmer months.
A pastel-toned berber rug and a green armchair add soft, natural colors to the room.
In the other wing, three double bedrooms are all decorated in soft color tones and natural materials.
In one of the bedrooms, wardrobe space has been fitted into the wall, hidden by wooden doors. The room also features a small en-suite shower room.
One of the bedrooms, painted in a soft pink hue, features glass doors to the decked terrace.
The third bedroom features a wall of cabinets with light wooden doors and a display shelf.
The family bathroom has a large walk-in shower and a deep freestanding bath. The walls are pink plastered just as the living space.
The gardens are thoughtfully landscaped with split-level areas for eating, drinking, and sunbathing.
The garden features deep herbaceous borders adding color throughout the seasons, as well as specimen trees to encourage a rich array of wildlife.
The house is listed for £575,000 at The Modern House.
