Externally, the house is composed of simple pitched volumes clad in Abodo timber, with a lime-rendered base and slate roof. The master suite is tucked into the roof volume so the property never reads as an intrusive third storey, preserving the scale of the surrounding cottages. Landscaping of wildflowers, grasses and Cornish stone steps further integrates the house into its clifftop garden.
Inside, the palette draws directly from the coastline. Timber-lined ceilings replace plaster, walls are finished in breathable clay and lime paints, and wide oak boards run throughout. Little Greene's Rolling Fog and Clay Pale sit alongside Bauwerk limewashes such as Cassava in the living room and Witch Hazel in the snug, layering tones that echo sand, stone and driftwood. A sculptural limestone fireplace anchors the living room, softened by linen sofas, sheer curtains and oak shelving. A bespoke open-shelving partition doubles as display and divider, keeping sightlines open between kitchen and living spaces.
Durability and sustainability were central to the design. Clay paints regulate humidity, stone and terrazzo ensure resilience in high-use areas, and oak brings warmth and longevity. The house is oriented to maximise natural light and passive solar gain, reducing reliance on artificial systems and ensuring comfort across seasons.
