Go green in Cornwall with a whitewashed holiday home

If the proposed green taxes on air travel are making you see red, CLC Country Homes could have the ideal eco-friendly solution for holiday home buyers - luxurious country cottages in the ever popular holiday hotspot of Cornwall which are easily accessible by road or rail.

Cornwall is the only destination in Britain to be included in the Lonely Planet's prestigious Blue List of 30 must-see places for 2007 - chosen for its "spectacular coastline", "arresting beauty" and "cultural and historical riches".

And at the Hustyns development in St Breock Downs, homeowners will be able to enjoy all this and more.

Set in 90 acres of beautifully landscaped grounds, near Wadebridge, and within each reach of the picturesque and popular villages of Rock and Padstow, the cottages at Hustyns are all luxury three bedroom/ three bathroom properties. Each home is finished to the highest standard with quality fitted kitchens complete with Bosch integrated appliances, utility areas, stylish bathrooms and ensuites with power showers and hydro-massage baths, spacious lounge/dining areas with living flame gas fires, and private gardens with decking and patio areas.

The properties also come complete with their own private saunas and this, combined with the prime location, high quality construction and design, and the equally high potential rental returns, has had buyers so steamed up that CLC Country Homes sold the first phase of 20 cottages at Hustyns within weeks of being released.

Now the final eight luxurious holiday homes at this Cornish property hotspot are being offered for sale, priced from £430,000. To add to the attractions, for those who want to share the delights of their new holiday home, CLC Country Homes are offering buyers a fully managed shared rental programme or the option of a leaseback scheme giving guaranteed rental returns for up to 10 years.

Also, whenever you or your tenants are coming to stay in your Cornish cottage, the Hustyns property management team can take care of everything, from thoroughly cleaning the cottage to stocking the fridge or even supplying a choice of DVDs for your evening entertainment.

Roy Peires, chairman of CLC Country Homes says “Sales at Hustyns have far exceeded expectation. Whether people are searching for an investment, a holiday home with excellent rental potential or a property for their own exclusive use, buyers today have very high expectations and at CLC Country Homes we aim to ensure that every home we sell meets - and hopefully exceeds- these requirements.”

Just 20 minutes drive from the world famous Eden Project, Hustyns is surrounded by local attractions, including the golf courses at Trevose and St Enodoc, and a selection of some of the best beaches on the Cornish Riviera. In Padstow - know locally as PadStein after master chef Rick Stein who has two restaurants in the town, visitors can enjoy a taste of the good life. Food lovers can also follow the celebrity chef trail to Watergate Bay near Newquay, where Jamie Oliver has opened a new restaurant while the surrounding towns and villages boast a tempting choice of gastro pubs and high quality restaurants.

Cornwall has the highest concentration of organic and traditional food producers in Britain, and buyers at Hustyns will be able to enjoy some homegrown delights - the five star hotel within the development has its own organic vegetable garden supplying the restaurant and brasserie.

Other amenities which give residents here a real taste of the good life include a large indoor swimming pool, sauna and steam room a fitness suite, running track, tennis court, croquet and children’s activity area. Owners and residents further benefit from a 24 hour concierge service, reception and housekeeping facilities and a new riding school is also being planned for the development.
