This elevated cottage offers breathtaking views of Carbis Bay, Godrevy lighthouse, and the North Cornwall coastline that will leave you speechless for days. This home has a rustic feel to it, with reclaimed local stone and natural cedar cladding that blends seamlessly. Open the panoramic windows and make your way down to the south-facing garden for a cup of coffee and fresh air while the kids play on the grass. Returning inside, you'll notice that the living room is flooded with natural light as you take a seat on the Tetrad Sofas and place your second coffee refill on the reclaimed oak coffee table. Carbis Bay is a charming seaside town known for its stunning stretch of white sand, turquoise waters, and sheltered conditions. Sunbathe on the beach before indulging in some local fish and chips, or if you're feeling more athletic, go kayaking. Take the twenty-nine-minute walk to St Ives Farmers Market, which is held at The Guildhall every Thursday until 2 p.m. throughout the year. If you appreciate art, visit the Barbara Hepworth Museum in St Ives before wandering through the cobbled streets of a traditional seaside town to reach the lighthouse.
