Netherfield, Probus

Number 3 Netherfield is a one‑of‑a‑kind home, privately positioned at the end of a quiet exclusive development and set within a substantial plot that includes woodland, front and rear lawns, and a distinctive moat approached by a charming bridge to the front door. Designed as an RIBA architect‑led self‑build, the property features a generous resin driveway, detached garage, and exceptional indoor–outdoor living across three levels. All three lower‑level bedrooms open directly onto the garden, while the middle floor’s kitchen flows onto an almost 12‑metre‑wide balcony via bi‑fold doors. The top floor unveils two elevated balconies nestled within the tree canopy, offering striking panoramic countryside views. Crafted with no expense spared, Number 3 Netherfield is truly unique in both setting and design.

The location

The development is conveniently situated within walking distance of the wide range of amenities within this particularly well-served village and within proximity of everything needed to embrace all of south Cornwall’s idyllic lifestyle. 

Probus has a thriving community and offers an excellent range of day-to-day amenities including a parish church, GP, public house, primary school, farm shop, post office, village hall, and restaurants.

The nearby Roseland peninsula is bordered by the Fal Estuary to the west and St Austell Bay to the east. The area has been designated part of Cornwall’s Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty for the quality of its landscape, unspoilt beauty and coastal scenery. In fact, it was one of Cornwall’s only areas not to have been mined.

Explore the stunning scenery & secluded coves and walk-through wooded countryside and across scenic cliffs. Take a ferry from St Mawes to Falmouth, explore St Mawes Castle or hire a kayak and explore the Percuil River and creeks.

There are many beautiful beaches on the Roseland Peninsula, great for swimming, sunbathing, rock pooling and water sports. For a secluded spot, try Caerhays; for plenty of space try the sandy beaches of Carne and Pendower; for rock pooling try Portholland or Portscatho. 

Some of Cornwall’s best hotels and restaurants are located on the Roseland, including The Rosevine, Driftwood, The Standard, Lugger and the more rustic Hidden Hut.
