The main reception room is a picture of Cornish character, featuring exposed beams, a traditional box sash window framing sea glimpses, and a welcoming wood-burning stove. It’s the kind of space that invites you to slow down, curl up with a favourite book, and savour a mug of Cornish tea as the tide rolls in.

To the side, a well-appointed kitchen provides a generous range of cabinetry and worktop space, with direct access to the garden — ideal for those impromptu alfresco suppers with the sea as your backdrop.
