luxury house for sale Saltash, United Kingdom

Location Fine and Country Cornwall is delighted to be bringing the fabulous Bownder House to market by private treaty. Bownder House is arguably one of the finest waterfront residencies in Cornwall if not the UK. This spectacular residence is a premium build located on Pier Lane with three other properties on a no-through road. This affords the new custodians privacy and a traffic-free environment. A large paved driveway allows for multiple vehicles to be parked immediately outside the property. A turning point and further parking space is available. So even the largest of vehicles including Range Rovers and Porsche Cayenne can park with ease.  The settlement of Cawsand was first recorded in 1404 when the area was known as The Square. Early spellings of the name Cawsand included Cawsham, Cousham and Causon, and it is thought to mean 'Cowsand'. By the end of the fifteenth century, the Rame peninsula was dotted with farmsteads, although the primary livelihood was through pilchard fishing. Historians believe that Kingsand may have been named in 1483 after Henry VII landed here briefly during his abortive attempt to overthrow Richard III. In 705 King Geraint of Cornwall granted 500 acres of land on the Rame peninsula to Sherbourne Abbey in Dorset. The border of the land in question followed a stream (now culverted) between the two villages, handing Kingsand over to Devon, while Cawsand remained in Cornwall. It was not until boundary changes in 1844 that Kingsand returned to Cornwall. A cottage opposite the 'Halfway House' pub still bears the 'Devon Corn' marker showing the border. The settlements expanded in Tudor times when Plymouth merchants built fish cellars along the beach to cash in on the thriving pilchard industry. These cellars were built of the local red 'rhyolite', a volcanic rock found along the shoreline to the east of Cawsand. For those fortunate enough to live in Cawsand or even have a short break, the experience is unique and charming in equal measures. The village has a close-knit community and a strong sense of history and tradition. The picturesque setting, with its narrow streets, colourful cottages, and scenic harbour, can make every day feel like a postcard. Bownder House sits close to the water's edge and the entire village is a designated Conservation Area and directly adjoins the sheltered and azure deep waters of Plymouth Sound with Mount Edgecumbe Estate. The 630-mile-long South West Coast Path can be accessed immediately from Bownder House. This affords views across the bay to Fort Picklecombe, the Mount Edgumbe Estate, Plymouth Breakwater, the city of Plymouth and Dartmoor on the horizon. The steady passing of commercial, naval and private charters around the bay and beyond gives the new custodians the most inspiring of backdrops to enjoy. The deep waters of the Fowey estuary and the Royal Yacht Club are well known to the sailing fraternity. The annual Fowey literary festival also attracts international visits and acclaim due to its close connections with Daphne Du Maurier. The nearby championship golf courses at St Mellion have hosted the International Open for six consecutive years with its two immaculate and demanding 18-hole European Tour golf courses having become the flagship venue of Crown Gold and is internationally respected and ranked second in the UK four-star Golfing hotels. Plymouth offers access to cross-channel ferry services and there is an international airport at Newquay. Many of Cornwall's attractions are within easy driving distance, and award-winning dining and three one-star Michelin establishments, Lost Gardens of Heligan and National Trust properties such as Cotehele and Lanhydrock. The Mount Edgcumbe Country Park, an 800 acre of coastal woodland and open hillsides is worthy of a visit and one of the most attractive and interesting days out in Cornwall.    Description  Discover the epitome of luxury living in Cawsand with this exclusive and breathtaking House.
