This is a chic and unique property nestled along a private beachfront road, where the sand extends just steps from your garden. Take a leisurely walk along the beach from your garden or enjoy a paddle in the shallows, and find a sunny spot to unwind during a lazy afternoon. The coastal village of Downderry is a much sought-after location on the Cornish coast with a beautiful shingle and sandy beach, some cafes, bars and a shop, all within walking distance. The beaches at Seaton and Downderry are perfect for walking your four-legged friend all year round. Why not take a day trip to the nearby fishing villages of Looe (6 miles), Polperro (11 miles), Kingsands and Cawsands (both 9 miles). Close by, you have the beautiful Mount Edgcumbe House and Country Park (9 miles) with walks and views for all of the family to enjoy. There are many other activities to do with The Eden Project (29 miles), and numerous National Trust properties all within easy reach. Or why not try an exhilarating day out for the whole family at the nearby Adrenalin Quarry (9 miles) or a trip to the Wild Futures Monkey Sanctuary (3 miles) to name just two.

Enter into this stunning beach front retreat and into a wonderful entrance hall which leads you through to the large lounge/dining room with large windows that frame the incredible sea views. This room is stylishly designed with its natural interiors and plenty of comfy seating including an inviting window seat allowing you to lounge in comfort whilst watching the ever changing tides. Or perhaps snuggle in on the sofas in front of the smart TV whilst watching all of your favourite programs. The dining area offers a seat for everybody in front of the wood-burner and leads out to a separate sun room complete with seating overlooking the garden. Off of the lounge is a beautiful, modern, bright kitchen which is fully equipped to cook up a delicious meal, prepare a BBQ tea or pack up a picnic lunch for a beach day. The breakfast bar offers a lovely spot for a morning coffee whilst catching up on the news. Off of the kitchen is a handy utility area with downstairs WC. At the other end of the house are three bedrooms. The first is a sweet bunk room with trundle, perfect for children, whilst the other two offer king-size beds, plenty of storage and breath-taking views out over the garden and uninterrupted sea. The family bathroom completes this floor. Moving upstairs, are another two king-size, equally impressive bedrooms, both with en-suite bathrooms. One en-suite boasts a bath, separate rainfall shower and WC, as well as views of the sea, and the other has a shower over bath and WC. The addition of sky lights makes these rooms the perfect tranquil place to enjoy a lazy lie in with the window open whilst listening to the waves outside.

Outside, you will find a large flat lawn with gate and steps to the beach, outside furniture, Gas barbecue, and garden games including Jenga and football. There is also a small garden room/summer house with additional fridge and table football.

Lovely property will gorgeous views. Ideal property for people with young children and or a dog. There is a large garden which is ideal for the children / dog to run. At the end of the garden and down some steps, careful they are a bit steep, there is sand and lots of rock pools. The village of Downderry really consists of a pub, restaurant, cafe Read moreand a village hall which occasionally does events. All these places are really good and the people friendly. The house is very comfortable with good sized beds and mattress's that are comfortable. The lounge dining table can sit 10 and the lounge area 7 comfortably, but you can of course bring up chairs from the dining area. The kitchen is reasonably well equipped although a small challenge if cooking for very large groups--but not impossible. overall an excellent property for the family which we would strongly recommend Hide

A beautifully appointed house in a fantastic location. The owners have thought of everything for comfortable living and the rooms are beautifully decorated and spacious. Having upstairs and downstairs bedrooms, plus ensuite bathrooms for 2 of the bedrooms made this a great house for multi generational gatherings. The garden is also large and secureRead more, as well as having easy access to the beach - perfect for your four legged friends. Hide
