If you’ve dreamed of living right by the beach so that at any point, you can take a short stroll, kick off your shoes and feel the sand between your toes, this is the home for you. With Porthleven beach as its neighbour, this stone cottage provides the perfect seaside retreat for your family – four-legged members included! Inside, the home is sleek and modern, with a mostly muted colour palette and pops of colour provided through scatter cushions. Mornings are best spent out in the sheltered courtyard, cup of coffee in hand, as you plan for the day ahead. Or perhaps, you’ll climb the steps to the cliff garden, where you can enjoy the sea view peeking over the rooftops as you get your caffeine fix. After breakfast, when you’re fully fuelled, gather the family and walk the short distance to the beach, where you can spend the day enjoying the sun and fresh sea air. When your tummy rumbles, stroll into Porthleven and you’ll find a great selection of eateries to choose from. As the sun begins to set and it’s time to head home, your quiet retreat awaits. The living area provides a cosy spot to retreat to after a long day on the beach, the ideal social space to gather and relive the day’s adventures. With so many memories to be made, as night falls, head to bed for a peaceful night’s sleep, ready to do it all again tomorrow.
