Set on a quiet lane in pretty Rock, close to a scenic trail that leads to Porthilly Cove, this five-bedroom home offers the perfect base to families and friends exploring North Cornwall’s coast and countryside. Boasting plenty of contemporary touches, the light-filled home sits away from Rock’s buzz while still being close enough to make use of its shops, delis and pubs. Start each day with a sun-soaked walk to Porthilly Cove (1 mile), perfect for paddling and walks with the dog. From here, at low tide, you can wander along the shore and loop back to Rock Beach (2 miles), popular for its sweeping sands and golden dunes. Within 0.5 miles of the beach, make full use of the village’s shops and plenty of places to eat and drink. Nature enthusiasts can join a wide range of nearby wildlife-spotting cruises, while surfers can hit the waves at Polzeath (1.5 miles).
Before stepping into this inviting home, take a moment to appreciate its exterior where palm trees and colourful plants lace the stone and whitewashed walls. Follow the steps from the driveway and head inside to be greeted by underfloor heating; uncover a bright and welcoming interior offering plenty of room to spread out and unwind. Gather in the vibrant open-plan kitchen/diner after days of coastal adventure; the chosen chef will find everything in the well-appointed kitchen space to cook up Cornish feasts, while the wooden dining table provides the perfect spot to plan tomorrow’s itinerary as you eat. After dinner, retreat to the inviting lounge, where soft furnishings are arranged around a TV and roaring wood burner, setting the perfect scene for cosy movie nights together. When it’s time to call it a night, five restful bedrooms are spread across two floors. The ground floor hosts a master king-size bedroom with an en-suite bathroom as well as a twin bedroom, a cosy single with an additional truckle bed and garden access, and a family bathroom. Upstairs awaits another king-size bedroom (converts to twins on request) with an en-suite bathroom, and a twin bedroom with zip-and-link beds that convert to a super-king-size on request for more flexibility.
Outside, find a wide choice of sun-soaked spaces to relax. Step out onto the front balcony each morning and gather at the furniture for peaceful coffees. To the rear of the property awaits a beautifully maintained and enclosed garden with lawn space for games under the sun, plus a covered patio and gas BBQ perfect for al fresco meals. For the ultimate night of relaxation, a bubbling hot tub stands ready as an optional extra (at cost). Completing the property is private driveway parking for one car, with additional on-street parking subject to availability.
