Luxury Cornish Coastal Development Ready To Move Into

Posted 4 April 2022 by Keith Osborne

The luxury homes at The Nest in charming Charlestown will be ready to move into at the end of April...

Homebuyers looking for a special brand new property on the sought-after Cornish coast will be able to move into one of 15 luxury harbourside houses set within a World Heritage Site from the end of April.

Nestled in this charming destination, The Nest is a collection of 15 boutique two-, three- and four-bedroom homes in Charlestown, a well-preserved and charming harbour village that has a rich history and has appeared numerous times on television and the big screen. It has become a foodie destination that welcomes thousands of tourists a year and is home to a number of modern restaurants, cosy cafés, good old-fashioned pubs and a handful of boutique shops and antique sellers. In the summer, the harbourside comes alive with pop ups serving up freshly brewed coffee and more creating a salty social buzz for all ages.

The Nest provides a subtle nod to the ‘Crow’s Nests’ atop the renowned Charlestown tall ships, whilst delivering a new contemporary Cornish design-driven lifestyle opportunity. Snuggled within Charlestown’s natural valley, it sits in the UNESCO-listed Cornish Mining World Heritage Site and local conservation area. It retains many of the historical features of its site, including the key landmark chimney formation which will remain a striking centrepiece for all residents. The chimney will be within a public space, rather than privately owned and can be enjoyed at closer proximity by residents of The Nest and by visitors to the area.

The NestDesigned by renowned, multi-award-winning Charlestown-based architects, Alan Leather Associates, The Nest will be accessed by a private road and is surrounded by a beautiful, traditional stone wall on three sides, with large evergreen and deciduous trees forming a dense, natural screen between the neighbouring properties.

Complementing the historic nature of the site, these brand new homes have many thoroughly modern features. Powder-coated aluminium windows and patio doors are set-into the profiled metal-clad sheeting, timber and rubble exterior material mix. A natural, green roof extends the length of these houses, bringing new life to the previously harshly industrial space, all tying in with the ecological, wildflower planting around The Nest’s perimeter. Each home has two car ports in the extended garaging space across from the properties, and an additional shared bike shed will be available, taking up to six cycles for residents. Prices for these homes start at £765,000.

CharlestownCharlestown is surrounded by sensational beaches and calm waters, inviting for wild sea swimmers, kayakers, snorkellers and stand-up paddleboarders. There is a small but perfectly formed beach just beneath the port, outlined by wild rugged cliffs. Winding coastal paths hug the coast in both directions leading to alternative beaches such as the calm azure waters of Porthpean and the alfresco event destination of Carlyon Beach.

A true lifestyle destination and perfect place to bring up children, it hosts a lively event schedule brimming with activity. Music and foodie events, mini-triathlon, Boxing Day swim and the much-loved and highly anticipated Charlestown Regatta Week. Find out more at stephensandstephensdevelopers.com.
