Carswell Tor

Elegant holiday home with stunning sea views

  • Sleeps 10
  • 5 Bedrooms
  • 4.5 Bathrooms
  • Dogs allowed by special arrangement

Nestled down its own private driveway, this distinguished detached home offers a serene escape, surrounded by open fields and rolling countryside. From nearly every room, soak in the breath-taking south-facing views of the sparkling sea and the iconic St Anchorite’s Rock.

The property’s approach immediately impresses, with expansive lawns, a tranquil pond complete with a fountain, and ample parking space for family and friends.

Step through the grand columned front door into the inviting entrance hall. To the right, the heart of the home unfolds—a spacious country-style kitchen-dining room. Here, the Redfyre Aga, a large pine dresser, and a dining table fit for gatherings create the perfect space for lively meals and conversations. Adjacent to the kitchen is a handy utility room, thoughtfully designed with a separate entrance, ideal for drying off muddy boots and paws after a day walking the coast path.

At the opposite end of the house, the Drawing Room awaits, a sophisticated space perfect for evening gatherings, centered around a Parlour Grand Piano. Beyond this lies the cosy snug, a haven for movie nights or quiet afternoons with a good book, enhanced by a large TV, and an array of games.

 

Upstairs, this elegant home offers six charming bedrooms, all thoughtfully designed to capture the stunning sea views. Each room provides a peaceful retreat, combining comfort with the breathtaking beauty of the surroundings.

At either end of the house are the two principal bedrooms. The first features a king-size bed and en-suite bathroom with dual sinks. At the opposite end, the second main bedroom boasts a king-size bed, a free-standing bath positioned within the bedroom for indulgent relaxation, and a separate loo for added convenience.

Between these two main suites are four additional bedrooms, each with its own character:

  • A single bedroom
  • Two super-king bedrooms, featuring zip-and-link twin beds, offering flexible sleeping arrangements.
  • A snug cabin-style bedroom under the eaves on the north side of the house – perfect for an older teenager wanting their own space.
  • A family bathroom with a sunken bath and hand shower, exuding spa-like tranquillity.
  • A large walk-in shower room.

This versatile layout ensures that every family member or group of friends enjoys their own personal sanctuary, all while basking in the calming influence of land and sea.

This property offers a wealth of outdoor features, designed for both relaxation and recreation. A large double garage, complete with table tennis for those family tournaments and ample room to store kayaks and paddleboards—perfect for exploring the nearby waters.

The beautifully landscaped garden invites you to unwind, with a paved outdoor dining area featuring a large table, chairs, and a gas barbecue, ideal for alfresco meals. The expansive lawn is perfect for a game of croquet, adding a touch of classic charm to your afternoons.

For nature enthusiasts and adventurers, Carswell Tor is just moments away from the renowned South West Coast Path. Begin your mornings with invigorating walks along this scenic trail, immersing yourself in the beauty of our hidden coastline.

As a highlight, guests have access to Blue Lagoon, our very own private cove. At high tide, this secluded haven transforms into an idyllic swimming spot, while low tide reveals a world of hidden rock pools and a stretch of sandy beach waiting to be explored.

Whether you’re seeking active pursuits or tranquil moments by the sea, this home is a gateway to unforgettable experiences in the heart of coastal paradise.

Set just behind Lambside House, is our new shared Games Room. We have converted one of our barns in the courtyard, to offer a space for all our guests to enjoy. Challenge friends and family to a match on the table football or a game of darts, gather for an exciting round of table tennis! Plus a selection of games and toys for children – ensuring entertainment for the whole family!

Doubles, singles or quadruples, no we’re not talking about drinks, we’re talking about tennis! This year we’re offering the opportunity to use Carswell Farm’s hardcore tennis court (pre-book) – for guests wanting to stay active this summer, why not get in touch and book!
