A stylish, custom-built home
at Park Gwyn in Cornwall
For Frank and Wendy Bradshaw,
building their new home at Park Gwyn
meant the fulfilment of a long-held
ambition to return to St Stephen near
St Austell. Frank had previously run
a Cornish pasty factory in the area
and although the couple had moved
away, they were excited to return to St
Stephen, where they have friends and
family.
The couple turned to Ian Burley of
Burley Construction and placed their
trust in his vision to create their dream
home. The company had built St
Martins Hotel in the Isles of Scilly and
has a passion for creating buildings that
blend harmoniously within their natural
environment.
Ian says: “The brief from Frank and
Wendy was unusually open. They said,
‘We will leave it all up to you’. This was
of course immensely exciting, as well as
carrying a huge responsibility to make
sure I delivered a home they would love.
From the outset, I saw the project as a
Grand Design. This was an opportunity
to build a completely bespoke, top of
the range home. I wanted to create
a house that was contemporary yet
classic, with clean fresh lines, and
making the most of its glorious outlook
over Cornish countryside.”
