A remarkable coastal home overlooking Sennen Cove

Imagine waking to the Atlantic, spending mornings on the golden sands of Sennen Cove and returning home to watch the sun set across the water.

Completed in 2022, Breakwater is an exceptional contemporary home designed around its extraordinary setting. With five bedrooms, spectacular living spaces and expansive west-facing terraces, it combines the beauty of Cornwall's coastline with the comfort and practicality of a modern luxury home.

A footpath beginning approximately 150 metres from the property leads down towards the beach, harbour and waterfront restaurants, making this a wonderful home for those who want to enjoy coastal living throughout the year.

From morning swims to evenings entertaining on the terrace, Breakwater is a home designed to make the most of its location.

From Breakwater’s elevated position, the main rooms, balcony and garden terraces look west across the bay and Atlantic towards Longships Lighthouse and, in clear conditions, the Isles of Scilly.

Property

The entrance opens into a broad reception hall, where a tiled feature wall and bespoke Jo Downs glasswork introduce the materials and detailing used throughout the house.
The principal living space is a triple-aspect kitchen, dining and sitting room extending to approximately 34 feet. A vaulted ceiling and rooflights bring further light into the room, while the German-designed Nolte kitchen is arranged around a generous island with Silestone worktops, Miele appliances and a Quooker tap. A Scan wood burner anchors the sitting area.
Two sets of sliding doors open onto a broad balcony extending across much of the sea-facing elevation and an adjoining sun terrace, allowing the living space to continue outside in fine weather.
Alongside is a separate sitting room, approximately 14 feet by 13 feet 5 inches, with a curved glazed bay, sea views and direct access to the balcony. A utility room and cloakroom complete this level.

The principal bedroom suite includes a dressing area, built-in storage and an en suite shower room. Floor-to-ceiling corner glazing frames the coastal outlook and a glazed door opens directly to the garden.

Three further double bedrooms also enjoy sea views; two share a Jack-and-Jill shower room, while the other is positioned beside the family bathroom, which has a freestanding bath and walk-in shower.

On the lower-ground floor, the fifth bedroom sits alongside a cinema/games room, together with a walk-in store, plant room and communications room. This part of the house offers useful flexibility for guests or teenagers, or for use as a home office, gym or additional living space.

The specification includes premium aluminium windows, larch cladding and an integrated Lithe audio system. A Daikin air-source heat pump supplies underfloor heating throughout.

The property has also been successfully operated as a luxury holiday let, with further
information available from the agent.

Location

Breakwater occupies an elevated position in Sennen Cove, within the Cornwall National Landscape. The footpath from Marias Lane gives direct pedestrian access to the beach, harbour and Old Success Inn, while the South West Coast Path and neighbouring Gwynver Beach are also close by.

Sennen is known for its long sandy beach, surfing and working harbour. Between Sennen Cove and Sennen village there are local shops, places to eat and traditional pubs, with a wider range of services in Penzance, approximately nine miles away. Penzance also has a mainline railway station with direct services to London Paddington.

Land’s End is approximately half a mile away and the Minack Theatre at Porthcurno is just over four miles away. Cape Cornwall, Mousehole and St Michael’s Mount are also within reach.

Gardens & Grounds

The landscaped gardens have been planned for relatively low maintenance and are arranged in tiers to make the most of the sea view and west-facing aspect. Areas of lawn are complemented by a bespoke curved seating area, sun terraces and a separate hot-tub terrace, providing a choice of places from which to watch the evening light and sunsets over the Atlantic.

An outdoor shower room with wetsuit-drying facilities is particularly useful after time on the beach or in the surf. There is also a separate store and additional reduced-height storage beneath the house.

The secure electric-gated forecourt provides parking for several vehicles and includes an EV charging point.
