5 Bed in Sennen (oc-b622152)

This detached retreat sits on the far south-west tip of Cornwall, directly above Gwynver Beach, with sea views from almost every room. Ideal for families, surfers, and walkers, it is surrounded by open countryside with direct access to the South West Coast Path and an edge-of-the-world atmosphere. Land's End is just under 2 miles to the south, and the coast path heads north via Cot Valley to the historic tin mining landscape at Cape Cornwall. Inland, Carn Euny is one of the best-preserved ancient villages in the South West. The Minack Theatre and St Michael's Mount are both worth a visit, and St Ives offers the Tate Gallery, the Barbara Hepworth Museum and Sculpture Garden, and a lively cafe and restaurant scene. Mousehole adds rich fishing heritage and Michelin-recommended restaurants to the mix.


The entrance hallway opens into a triple-aspect living room with a log-effect fire, Smart TV with surround sound, and sliding patio doors onto the ocean-facing terrace. A second, quieter living room sits alongside, with sliding doors on three sides, games, and books. The kitchen centres on a large island breakfast bar and an extending oak dining table, with a separate seating area by the window for watching the waves. A utility room with storage is also on the ground floor. Separately, a WC sits off the hallway. A handmade steel and oak staircase leads to the first floor. The master bedroom has a super-king-size bed, a window seat, a private balcony with panoramic sea and garden views, and an en-suite bathroom with freestanding bath, walk-in rainfall shower, and WC. The second bedroom has a super-king-size bed, a Juliette balcony, and an en-suite bathroom with freestanding bath, walk-in rainfall shower, and WC. A third bedroom offers a super-king-size zip-and-link bed that can be configured as twins, a window seat with a sea glimpse, and an en-suite shower room with walk-in rainfall shower and WC. The fourth and fifth bedrooms, both on the ground floor, each have super-king-size zip-and-link beds that can also be arranged as twins, each with an en-suite shower room with walk-in rainfall shower and WC.


The large gardens are enclosed by a gate and landscaped with multiple seating areas across the grounds. An ocean-facing terrace has a reclaimed teak dining table with views stretching to Longships Lighthouse and, on clear days, the Isles of Scilly. At the rear, a semi-enclosed patio has a table, chairs, and a Buschbeck BBQ and oven. A full-sized petanque court with granite seating sits in the garden. An outdoor shower and dog and welly washing station are provided, along with a separate outdoor laundry room housing a washing machine and tumble dryer. A pathway from the main gate leads down to Gwynver Beach directly opposite, via steep steps. Private driveway parking is available for four to five cars.
