Positioned just above Praa Sands on Cornwall's south coastline, this home can't be accused of not making the most of this sensational location. The living area has a huge sliding door and the master bedroom an equally large window, and both gaze out towards an unblemished panorama of sea and skyline. There's even a terrace and a small garden so you can feel a breeze on your face while you take in the scenery. Back inside, the home is contemporary with a distinct boho edge thanks to the macrame, house plants, natural fabrics and soothing neutral colour scheme. In one corner, there's a wood burner, which can warm you up after a day of surfing and frolicking about on the beach. The South West Coast runs by the address and continues in either direction for plenty more stunning landscape, while Penzance only takes seventeen minutes to reach in the car if you want a day of galleries and restaurants.
