* Freehold
This collection of beautifully crafted holiday homes designed by koto lies in
a picturesque pocket of the Polzeath hills, 15 minutes’ walk from the beach in
a sought - after position on the north Cornwall coastline. Set within four acres
of gardens sympathetically landscaped by Chelsea gold - winner Darren Hawkes,
each space has been designed to connect symbiotically with the natural
landscape, while the dramatic pitch of the rooflines, and silhouettes of
blackened larch, strike deftly against the skyline. Four three - bedroom cabins
are currently available on site, and 13 bespoke cabins are available to order
to specification.
Please note Cabin 13, 17, 7 and 6 are now under offer.
Each cabin is sold fully furnished, with an exclusive selection of
Scandinavian lighting and furniture pieces from Bolia included in the price;
upgrade packages are also available. Decked terraces and courtyards offer
private outdoor space and each cabin has two allocated parking spaces.
Residents will also have access to the excellent leisure facilities at The
Point, just a five - minute walk away, including the golf course, swimming pool,
spa, tennis and padel courts, bar and restaurant. During vacant periods, the
cabins offer potential for significant sublet income; details of projected
rental yields can be shared on request. The location is excellent for easy
access to Polzeath beach and the extensive cycling, running and hiking trails
through the surrounding countryside and along the South West Coast Path.
The cabins are sold under a 90 - year license. There will be no stamp duty due,
or conveyancing required.
The Architect
Founded by Theo Dales and Jonathon and Zoe Little, koto specialises in
architect - designed modular housing and cabins – a modern and sustainable
alternative to conventional housing in the UK, Europe, and usa. Combining a
quiet luxury with sustainability, every koto home has been beautifully crafted
to the very highest standards and with the utmost respect for the environment.
Environmental Performance
Energy efficiency is integral to design and production, with each cabin built
almost entirely from sustainably sourced timbers and with excellent levels of
insulation. Thoughtfully designed to blend into the landscape, external
cladding is of blackened British larch, a naturally durable softwood. Carbon
dioxide is captured in the fabric of the building and actively removed from
the atmosphere.
Each cabin has been created specifically for this site, where picture windows
give views to the north and limit solar gain from the sun to the south. The
airtightness, glazing, heat and power systems are designed to reduce incoming
noise and make efficient use of day - to - day energy, while hot water
requirements are served by a FlexTherm thermal battery. More information about
the cabins' environmental performance is available upon request.
The Tour
Designed exclusively for The Point, positioning and site planning for each of
the cabins has been carefully considered, maximising the excellent vistas
across the surrounding coast and countryside landscape while ensuring optimal
privacy. Private parking areas lie adjacent to each site with glass doors
forming the entrance, leading through to the beautifully light open plan
living spaces.
Following one of two layouts, ‘Rumps’ or ‘Rock’, each cabin has three double
bedrooms and two bathrooms, with internal living areas of approximately 1, 100
sq ft spanning a single storey. Drawing inspiration from koto’s passion for
Scandinavian simplicity and Japanese design, distinct architectural profiles
are punctuated with geometric fenestration, with the pitch of the rooflines
defining the dynamic volume of each interconnected living space. Set in
natural contrast to the bold black exterior, soft, earthy tones create a calm,
quiet energy throughout the interior spaces, with sleeping areas subtly
defined by a soft variation in the wall colour. A thoughtful selection of
Scandinavian furniture by Bolia has been carefully curated by Koto Living to
provide a pared back material and textile palette, creating a pleasing
aesthetic continuity throughout.
The existing cabins have varying finishes and fittings, dependent on
specification and upgrades. Pale timber flooring runs underfoot, and huge
picture windows are strategically placed to invite an exceptional quality of
natural light and plenty of warmth through the course of the day, enjoyed from
the deep window seats. Modern kitchen areas are defined by clean lines of
bespoke cabinetry, neatly housing appliances, with a separate utility space
positioned adjacent to the kitchen. Living areas are arranged in a social,
versatile layout, with expanses of glazing visually connecting the interior
and exterior spaces. The three bedrooms are generous in proportion and
rational in layout, with an excellent provision of in - built storage areas. The
main bedroom is complete with an en suite bathroom, in addition to the central
bathroom, where deep skylights invite the sun and moonlight to pour through.
Outdoor Space
Private decked terraces and courtyards form the perimeter of each cabin.
Outdoor spaces have been orientated to follow the course of sunlight through
day into evening, with plenty of space outside to enjoy a morning coffee,
evening sundowner, or a summer supper. Wood - fired hot tubs for the private
decked terraces can also be ordered as part of upgrade packages.
Set in around four acres of sympathetically landscaped grassland designed by
Cornwall - based Chelsea gold winner Darren Hawkes, the overall setting has been
exceptionally well considered. Carefully designed to encourage the natural
biodiversity of the site, the planting scheme blends harmoniously with the
local vernacular, with 400 metres of traditional stone walling defining a calm
journey of walkways through Cornish wildflowers, grasses, and a plethora of
indigenous plants, trees and shrubs. The tops of the stone walls will be
seeded with a grass and wildflower mix creating an informal colourful backdrop
to views from the large cabin windows. The boundary hedgerows will be left
undisturbed and grounds will be fully maintained by the team at The Point.
A five - minute walk from the bar and restaurant, residents can enjoy access to
the health club facilities, swimming pool and onsite activities, golf club
membership, tennis and padel courts and fitness classes.
Please note, landscaping is currently in development and the landscaping
illustrated in exterior images has been computer generated.
