Price: $850,000 (£695,000) 

Footprint: 1,300 Sq Ft. (3 Bed, 1 Bath, property comes with shed) 

From the Agent: "Occupying a quiet and secluded position in the hamlet of Penelewey, Cornwall, this beautifully renovated midcentury house was lovingly restored and extended in 2014 by the current owners in collaboration with Hormann Architects and Kathryn Tyler of Linea Studio. The interior artfully pairs its original features with modern detailing. Internal living space of around 1,300 square feet flow across a single-story, open-plan layout, oriented around a verdant and densely planted central garden. Penelewey is a 10-minute cycle to Loe beach, while Truro and Falmouth are easily reached by car in five and 15 minutes, respectively."

The house, which was renovated in 2014, emphasizes warm interiors with lots of natural light, to create a calming space when at home.
