Shifting Light & Changing Skies St Ives, Cornwall

Property Description

With an unrivalled setting in a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, this stunning home has incredible views from Cudden Point to St Michael's Mount. Those looking for a private getaway will adore this home, situated at the meeting point of land and sea. Roam around the two and a half acres of meadows then maybe go for a swim – there's direct access to Perranuthnoe Beach.

Your lovely hosts provide a welcome pack with all the ingredients for a cream tea, and we can't think of a better setting. On rainy days head to the gym and games room, where you'll find a rower, arcade games and a Star Wars pinball machine, as well as a competition style pool table. On milder days, gather around the fire pit at sunset, accompanied by good vibes and good music, thanks to the outdoor Bose speakers and Sonos system.

Inside, unwind on the sofa in front of the log burner or enjoy a meal at the large dining table. The vistas from the living space are as fantastic as the outdoors. After a fun-packed day, have a long soak in the master ensuite's oversized bath (the window is electro-statically controlled to mist for privacy or clear for a sea view whilst relaxing). Imagine opening the doors every morning and listening to waves lapping the shore. There's also a separate cottage ideal with its own south-west facing terrace for members of the group who want more privacy.

There are plenty of surfboards here, as well as one and two-man kayaks to enjoy the sea. The surfing beaches of the North Coast are around a thirty-minute drive. Or simply walk down to sandy Perranuthnoe Beach (under five minutes on foot). The South West Coast Path actually runs through the bottom of the meadow – you can reach Cudden Point in around thirty minutes. It's a more gentle five-minute stroll to Perranuthnoe, an unspoilt Cornish village with a charming pub, an ancient church and two small cafes.
