Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
This beautiful and practical home is ideal for a large family or group of friends. Spacious yet cosy with delightful seaside touches, it’s a charming spot to enjoy making memories. Over the stunning log burner hangs an image of a lighthouse, drawing you to the local seaside – it’s a perfect reflection of the surrounding area. The kitchen and dining area wraps around from the snug living room, setting the scene perfectly for a social gathering. A bottle of wine, board games or a film is all you need for a wonderful night. When you are ready to retire to bed, there is a generous selection of rooms, from large king-size beds, to charming bunk beds for the children. The seaside and nautical touches are enchanting, so you will feel right at home. Upon waking in the morning, enjoy five minutes of peace with a cuppa in hand. The master bedroom bay window is where you can be nestled peacefully to watch the sunrise. The sprawling dining table is ideal for a family breakfast when the rest of the house is ready to take on the day. With the nearest beach within walking distance, be sure to bring your dog – they will love to dip their paws into the sea and sand too! If it's chilly, sample one of the local pubs which are sure to warm your cockles. If you fancy something a little quieter in the summer, the patio and barbecue is a fabulous backdrop to welcome another summer evening in Cornwall.
