Description

A detached four-bedroom home with a self-contained one-bedroom annexe, sea views across Praa Sands and the beach a few minutes' walk away, offered with no onward chain.
The kitchen/breakfast room is the natural heart of the house, with an electric aga, generous storage and plenty of worktop for cooking and entertaining. The sitting room looks out to sea and opens straight onto the patio. A ground-floor bedroom sits alongside a smart room with both bath and shower, making single-level living a real option, and a further reception works equally well as a family room or fifth bedroom. The original kitchen is now a large utility, and a rear garden room is the place to shed sandy kit after the beach or pot up plants.
Upstairs are three more bedrooms and a well-appointed family bathroom, plus a built-in sauna, an unusual touch after a day on the water or in the garden.
Set apart in the grounds, the one-bedroom annexe is fully self-contained: A light living area, a fitted kitchen/breakfast room with underfloor heating, and a double bedroom with its own en-suite. Well suited to multi-generational living or guests.
The gardens wrap right around the house. A south-facing sun terrace at the front takes in the view across Praa Sands, with lawns, raised vegetable beds, a summerhouse, greenhouse and potting shed beyond. Covered parking comes via a double carport with power and mezzanine storage, alongside driveway space for several cars.
Location

Praa Sands is one of the south coast's most popular beaches, with close to a mile of sand backed by dunes, and surfing, coast-path walks and sunsets on the doorstep. The village has a general store and deli, independent shops, and eateries including The Welloe, a well-regarded golf course, and a members' leisure centre with indoor pool and gym. Regular buses run to Penzance, Helston and Falmouth.
