A masterstroke in modern living, this architect-designed home stands proud overlooking majestic Watergate Bay. Set out over two floors united by considered design, downstairs, you’ll find three airy, luminous bedrooms with contemporary en-suites and a cosy cinema room for movie nights. Head upstairs and things keep getting better, with a further bedroom offering up direct access to the landscaped gardens. But for us, the clear standout feature has to be the palatial living area and kitchen with incredible views of the distant fields rolling into the glistening sea. This space is best served with the patio doors slid right back to let the sunshine in as you come together for lazy breakfasts around the dining table. And when the sea comes calling, you won’t have far to go. The two-mile-long surfing beach at Watergate Bay with a buzzy cafe and restaurant is a mere ten-minute walk away. Or for a change of pace, Padstow is just ten miles north, and The Eden Project is a thirty-minute drive away. Just be sure to make it home for dusk to fire up the barbecue and enjoy the ultimate post-surf relaxation in the sauna and hot tub. With the views of the setting sun in the distance, there is no better place to be.
