Firethorn

An elegant holiday home which has been lovingly refurbished to a high standard

Newly renovated and thoughtfully decorated by local interior designer Chloe Morris, Firethorn is a striking home in an enviable location, just a short stroll away Bude’s award-winning beaches.

Inspired by its coastal location, Firethorn is a tranquil retreat which sleeps six. Split over two floors, there are three bedrooms in total. The property embraces a neutral palette with an uplifting blend of Cornish and Scandinavian inspired interior, pairing laidback luxury with home comforts.

With tasteful wooden flooring, additional skylight windows to allow the Cornish sunshine to flood the space and clean lines, the attention to detail is apparent as soon as you enter. There’s one bedroom on the ground floor at the front of the house, which can be conveniently set up as a twin or a lavish superking size, thanks to the plush zip ‘n’ link mattress. It also features its own ensuite with a shower. There’s also a downstairs WC for ease.

Step down to the open-plan living space, which is a spacious and calming environment. The modern fully-fitted kitchen with stunning marble worktop, also features wooden apex beams overhead and is every chef’s dream with its high specification appliances. There are integrated Neff ovens and an induction hob, a large American-style LG fridge freezer with ice dispenser, and a De’Longhi espresso coffee machine with milk frother. There’s also generously sized island complete with three wooden stools, to enjoy your morning coffee or a spot of breakfast.

Guests will also appreciate the fully equipped utility space, which adjoins the kitchen and has everything you could need for your Cornish holiday, including a Bloomberg washing machine and tumble dryer, plus a freestanding microwave. You can also access the garden from here.

The large wooden dining table comes complete with six wishbone chairs and is positioned next to the large bi-folding doors for a true indoor/outdoor experience, and floods this space with natural light. Photograph enthusiasts will also appreciate the Cornish motivated picture wall featured here. Meanwhile the living space is elegant yet cosy, with a contemporary log burner, LG wall-mounted TV and large sumptuous SNUG corner sofa. There are also two laidback armchairs, to ensure everyone can sit comfortably.

The luxury continues upstairs, where you’ll find two well-appointed bedrooms and a family bathroom. The master bedroom features a modern ensuite with double walk-in shower, large built-in wardrobes, and sinkable king-size bed, while the second bedroom is a children’s twin room, featuring bookshelves, a comfy beanbag chair and plenty of storage. The contemporary bathroom benefits from a lavish double-ended freestanding bathtub, and large separate walk-in shower.

Outside there’s a well-maintained lawn at the rear of the property with a large rattan furniture set, plus a charcoal BBQ for those who like to enjoy some al fresco dining on their holiday. At the front of Firethorn there’s a sizeable private driveway which fits three vehicles, and comes with an EV charger.
