A step leads to the front door which opens up to a light and airy space with vaulted ceilings, slate flooring with under floor heating and thoughtful lighting throughout. To the left plush cream sofas face lovely French windows that can be opened up in the warmer weather to bring the countryside in to you. In cooler weather the stunning wood burner makes the space uber-cosy, making it perfect for curling up on the sofa and maybe watching a film with a glass of red to hand.

A lovely bespoke kitchen, in a lovely country-style cream, boasts cool slate work surfaces and pale blue tiles. With all the usual mod cons including a Bosch oven, hob and microwave, a dishwasher and a Nespresso machine, and being really very well stocked equipment-wise, this is a great space for cooking - maybe for preparing some fresh fish bought straight from the harbours edge in Padstow? A pretty farmhouse-style dining table and benches sit handily close to the kitchen whilst outside on the patio there's a table and chairs to eat al fresco - perfect for watching the sun creep higher in the sky at breakfast, or the orange glow of sunset turn to an inky blackness over dinner.

Barn Owl Roost has two double bedrooms, Bedroom 1 has a king size bed and en suite shower-room, huge hand-crafted wardrobes. Bedroom 2 has a zip and link bed (super-king size or twin beds) and use of the family bathroom. Soft cotton bedding is used in both, with warm throws on the beds.

The en suite to the master bedroom boasts a roomy walk in shower and beautifully made light grey cabinets, marble surfaces and natural stone tiles. The family bathroom with exposed beams has a bath with a huge drench-head shower, heated towel rail and lots of shelving space. Toiletries are provided in both, alongside thick, fluffy white towels.
