'Beach Cottage' has its roots in the 18th century, established to become a sturdy, stone fisherman's store with overhead net loft, built on a natural stone ledge above the cove. Historic photographs record the conversion of the building to a residential cottage by 1910 and subsequently the property was gradually extended and completely renovated in 2009. The house has been sympathetically styled by the current owners to respect the historic character of the property and its Cornish setting while meeting contemporary living standards.

The cottage is approached by a pretty walled cobbled courtyard and is entered at ground floor level via a solid oak front door, framed by glazed quarter lights on either side. The bright and airy arrival hall opens out to a spacious lobby, with dual aspect windows, finished in white tongue and groove ceiling boarding and large charcoal slate flagstone flooring. Full height fitted cupboards conceal a laundry with plenty of storage space, a washing machine and tumble drier. Directly off the entrance space is an internal door to the garage and another door to a cloakroom, awash with light from a 'Velux' window above.

From the entrance hall, you will discover the impressive heart of the home; a large, yet cosy, open plan kitchen and snug, warmed by a granite stone framed fireplace with multi fuel burning stove. Windows flanking the chimney breast provide a preview of the breath taking vista that awaits in the sitting room. The kitchen has ample storage and working space; featuring tailor-made fitted units crafted from charming sky-blue painted timber and finished in speckled grey granite work surfaces to complement the slate flag floor. The impressive Falcon Range gas oven in stainless steel with its extractor fan, mirrors the fireplace at the opposite end of the room and the kitchen is equipped with a range of high specification appliances and fittings including a Fisher and Paykel double drawer dishwasher and Liebherr fridge. There is plenty of space for a large dining table to seat up to eight people and double French doors to the side open onto a private dining courtyard to the rear of the property.

Through a shelved, portal from the kitchen, two steps lead down to the oak floored drawing room. This welcoming and impressively spacious living room features a five metre wide series of bifold doors that fold back to frame an incredible view of the cove and its surroundings. One cannot understate the rarity and 'wow' factor of these views. A recess in the corner of the room provides a quiet space for study or working from home. On the opposite side of the kitchen is a door to a carpeted double bedroom suite, with its own bathroom and walk in cupboard. The bathroom has a bath, shower and pedestal sink, illuminated from above by a roof light. A large window frames stunning beach views from comfort of the bed.

From the entrance hall, ascending to first floor level, the house continues to impress... two separate bedroom suites with walkthrough dressing room and stunning bathrooms provide luxurious sleeping accommodation. The rooms are set partially in the eaves with fine carved roof beams partially exposed enhancing the nautical character of the property.

The principal suite overlooks the beach with a spacious double bedroom and bathroom decked in porcelain timber look tiles with a freestanding slipper bath, walk in shower room with drench shower head fitting and high quality Hansgrohe fittings. The lighting throughout has been carefully designed to create a relaxing and luxurious ambience.

The second double bedroom is a charming room overlooking the inner courtyard with an ensuite bathroom with walk in shower cubicle and luxury fittings. There is a large landing cupboard housing the laundry and water emersion heater. Skillfully designed, the house harmonises contemporary, artisan luxury with its breath-taking natural surroundings, creating an upmarket living and wellness experience.

Exterior, gardens and garage - 'Beach Cottage' is finished externally in white textured render with a slate roof and black tudor style decorative timbers applied to the facades. The property is accessed via a gated, granite cobbled entrance courtyard which flows around to the rear of the house to a large, enclosed dining terrace which is framed by pleached trees and stone retaining walls. To the eastern side of the house is a single garage with remote controlled door access. The garage has an additional storage space for water sports equipment which also houses the gas boiler. There is a gated parking space for a car alongside the garage. The 'L shaped' house sits to the north west of the plot, with the walled front garden laid out as a series of paved and lawned terraces designed to withstand the saline environment. Granite cobbles frame a fine lawn and flow between seating areas that have been sited to enjoy the sun throughout the day. There is an external shower to stem the flow of sand into the cottage. In the centre of the walled garden is a hidden staircase with a steel gate that leads down to the beach, perfect for an early morning dip in this heavenly setting.
