The Accommodation
A welcoming entrance vestibule provides access to the principal living areas and immediately sets the tone for the quality and character found throughout the home.

The kitchen/breakfast room forms the heart of the property and is undoubtedly one of its standout features. Beautifully appointed with contemporary cabinetry, granite worktops, integrated appliances, and clever storage solutions, the space combines practicality with exceptional coastal views. A large picture window with built-in seating creates the perfect spot to enjoy morning coffee while watching the ever-changing seascape.

Flowing from the kitchen is a versatile snug or sun room, a bright and adaptable space that could serve as a second sitting area, home office, hobby room, or occasional guest accommodation. New sliding patio doors open directly onto a private terrace, seamlessly connecting indoor and outdoor living.

The lounge offers a more intimate atmosphere, with a feature log burner providing warmth and character, creating the perfect setting for cosy evenings after a day exploring the coastline.

A contemporary ground-floor shower room completes the accommodation on this level.

Upstairs, the generous double bedroom enjoys a wonderful dual aspect and benefits from an en-suite, fitted wardrobes and direct access to a private balcony. From here, uninterrupted views stretch across the beach and out over the sparkling waters of Falmouth Bay, providing a truly special vantage point. A separate WC serves the first floor.

Outside
The outdoor spaces are every bit as impressive as the interior.

A substantial sun deck with glazed balustrades enjoys an elevated position overlooking the beach, providing an exceptional setting for al fresco dining, entertaining guests, or simply relaxing while taking in the spectacular coastal scenery.

A second terrace accessed from the snug offers a more secluded seating area, ideal for enjoying a quiet morning coffee accompanied by the sound of the waves below.

The property also benefits from a garage, incorporating additional utility and storage space together with a WC. The versatility of this area offers potential for a variety of uses, including a workshop, studio, hobby space, or home office, subject to any necessary permissions.

Additional parking is available nearby through local village arrangements, providing practical convenience for both owners and visiting guests.
