Roundhouse Mill, St Issey is an exceptional five-bedroom barn conversion for groups seeking a memorable coastal escape. The well-appointed kitchen features an electric oven, induction hob, double fridge/freezer, and integrated dishwasher, creating an ideal hub for group mealtimes. The open-plan kitchen / diner buzzes with activity, its central island a gathering point where friends linger.
Beyond the kitchen, a magnificent living space unfolds across the upper floor. The orangery, flooded with natural light from a sprawling skylight and bi-fold doors, provides serene estuary views. The living room, warmed by a wood burner and plush seating, becomes your cosy retreat. A telescope invites stargazing. Outside, the garden is sublime. Sun loungers dot the glass-fronted balcony, whilst the lower terrace features an outdoor dining table, fire pit, and charcoal BBQ. A hammock, heated outdoor shower, and bubbling hot tub complete the experience. Five bedrooms await: two super-king-size zip-and-link rooms (convertible to twins), one king-size, and two twin rooms. Four bathrooms, three en-suites and a family bathroom, ensure comfort for all ten guests.
Imagine waking to panoramic estuary views, gathering friends around the island for steaming coffee, and spending lazy afternoons soaking in the hot tub whilst gazing across the Cornish countryside. As twilight descends, ignite the fire pit, toast marshmallows, and watch stars twinkle above the water's edge, creating treasured memories that linger long after your departure.
