Stunning Grand Designs hillside pad surrounded by woods on sale for £1.6million
A six-bedroom property that has been in various magazines and even starred in Grand Designs is for sale for £1.6million.
Nanskerris, Trevarno, near Helston in Cornwall, is an extraordinary Grade II-listed detached house of unique architectural significance that blends a Victorian gamekeeper’s cottage and a magnificent woodland-inspired modern wing.
The six-bedroom masterpiece even boasts interiors crafted from trees sourced from 4.6 acres of surrounding woods, Cornwall Live reports.

The truly one-off property is the ultimate culmination of a dream and vision which was captured on Channel 4’s Grand Designs television programme.
The property was conceived by the current owner as an expression of her love for the setting Nanskerris nestles within and used the talents and skills of the craftsmen within her own steam bent furniture making business.
The vendor lived in the tiny original 19th Century Grade II-listed gamekeeper’s cottage on the site for some time before reinventing the space in 2016.
The original gamekeeper’s cottage was linked to a handsome stone barn by a glazed walkway.

The interior structure of the barn was then exposed to provide a raw and historically accurate starting point that opens into the undeniably beautiful contemporary extension which has brought the outside in, blurring the boundaries of nature and home.
A further unconverted stone barn lies invitingly across a courtyard.
As well as extensive driveways and a range of timber and stone outbuildings, Nanskerris also features a rather special steamed wood and glass yoga studio which is nestled amongst the trees and positioned to enjoy the first sun of the morning.
One of the most instantly recognisable self-build projects ever created in the United Kingdom, this wooden grand designs home has also featured in Elle Decoration, Elle Decoration Modern Rustic and Country Living.
