Overview
Welcome to Limelight, a rare gem nestled in the heart of the North Cornish village of Poughill.

Designed in collaboration with award-winning architects, Limelight is a testament to modern luxury and timeless elegance. The approved scheme seamlessly combines contemporary architecture with a blend of modern and traditional materials, including proposed Cornish stone, charred timbers, and a striking copper roof.
Situated within a large mature and level plot in the conservation area, Limelight exudes tranquility and charm. Its glazed elevations open out to a series of covered terraces and balconies, inviting residents to bask in the serene surroundings.
Location
Limelight is a substantial plot that is formed in the lower, southern grounds of the host property 'Reeds'. Reeds a large Edwardian mansion was once owned by Sir Goldsworthy Gurney who was a renowned inventor known for his invention of 'Limelight', the use of which led to the still commonly used expression, 'in the Limelight'.
The plot is stream bordered on one side and the rest is mature existing hedge boundaries. There will be an initial shared, sweeping gravel driveway with the host property, then a new driveway and defining hedge is to be formed by the purchaser down the eastern boundary of Reeds.
To the south and west side of Limelight are agricultural fields, and to the East and North are the domestic gardens of both Reeds and Wychwood Lodge, both of which are homes of distinction in their own right.
