The Black Shed – Trevone Bay
ModBox have been commissioned to build a ‘Prestigious property’ in the most stunning location of Trevone Bay. Our client has very discerning taste and as such, this property will be something special. an added complication is that the client lives in the southern hemisphere, so she really needed to work with a team that she could trust. Having built a property for her 8 years ago, which, not only came in on time and within budget, it also met her exacting standards.
THE development
The Black Shed has been designed to be a Contemporary new home, with views over Harlyn Bay, Mother Ivy Bay and around to Booby Bay. The new property will have four double bedrooms and a reverse living lounge that makes full use of the stunning vista over the peninsula and a stones throw away from Trevone bay beach and some of Cornwall’s best restaurants.
THE accommodation
The Property utilizes a ‘reverse living’ approach, with a large lounge overlooking the Seven Bay. The finished home will be a four double bedrooms, four bathroom, reverse living property. The main entrance to the property is next to the large double garage, which also allows direct access to the main house and benefits from a utility room and shower room, idea to clean & store those sand filled wet suit’s, after a long day on the beach.
