Housing developments in Cornwall of distinctive character from Rosemullion Homes

An outstanding marine development of the highest quality in a stunning waterfront position with views to St Michael’s Mount and private
access to steps to the beach.

Just a few hundred yards from the centre of the historic town of Marazion stood the Old Sunday School, formerly linked with the nearby Methodist Chapel. The old building had become derelict and its owners, St Aubyn Estates, agreed a sale to Rosemullion Homes with the shared vision of creating 7 homes of outstanding architectural design, including 2 affordable homes for local people.

A new sea wall has just been completed, the lower section faced with granite, with steps coming down to a wide terrace and thence to the beach below, accessible at low tide.

The 5 new waterfront homes will enjoy access to steps leading to the terrace, with panoramic sea vista and views to St Michael’s Mount and The Lizard. Access to the steps is shared only with residents of Seaview Cottages, retained by St Aubyn Estates.

The waterfront houses vary in size and accommodation with 2 two storey 3 bedroom homes and 3 three storey 4 bedroom houses. The new houses will be built to a contemporary design with detailing and character respecting the historic town and setting.

Granite reclaimed from the Old Sunday School will be used to clad ground floor walls, which are partly buttressed. Upper storeys are in render and hardwood weatherboard. Roofs are in slate throughout and all houses have sea facing balconies in stainless steel and glass.

Internally, the houses have the benefit of renewable energy from ground source heat pumps, supplying under-floor heating and hot water at a fraction of normal running costs. The top floor in each home is designed as a spectacular open-plan living space, with soaring vaulted ceilings, wood-burning stoves and enjoying magnificent sea views from windows and balconies. Staircases, skirtings and architraves are in hardwood and there are hardwood veneer internal doors and wood laminate floor finish throughout, with kitchen and bathroom floors in slate. Windows and external doors are high performance double-glazed in hardwood finish.

The waterfront homes are a unique and unrepeatable opportunity to purchase a low-energy marine residence of the highest quality, with the enduring magnificence of sea views to St Michael’s Mount.
