SETTING THE SCENE
The beautiful, part wooded Pill Creek extends from the head of the Carrick Roads inland to the north, in between Loe Beach and the National Trust-owned Trelissick Estate. It certainly is an idyllic setting, yet one that is just 10-15 minutes drive from the heart of Truro, with its Cathedral, schooling, high street shops, theatre, Waitrose and mainline railway station.
Pill Creek itself has become home to a handful of iconic modernist houses, ever since the construction of one of Sir Richard Rogers' early commissions; Creek Vean. Much of the surrounding countryside is owned and managed by the National Trust and is designated as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, with numerous country and creekside coastal walks easily accessible from the house. For messing about in boats, it really doesn't get any better, with all the villages surrounding the estuary hosting regattas through the summer.
Cornwall’s south coast, facing the English Channel, is the fairer counterpart to its rugged, Atlantic-bashed northern side. This is the Cornwall of sheltered fishing villages, fields that gently slope into tidal creeks and verdant gardens filled with exotic plants that take to the warm summers. Almost due south of Pill Creek is the yachting haven of Mylor Yacht Harbour, while the port and university town of Falmouth sits sheltered inside the entrance to the Carrick Roads.
The site is the last undeveloped plot on Pill Creek. Due to the nature of the site which wraps around the head of the creek, the view from the new property will always be protected by the area of private woodland along the eastern boundary.
