This architecturally designed detached home sits in the village of Downderry on the south Cornwall coast, with a large garden that leads directly onto the beach. Families looking for a relaxed coastal break with room to spread out and coastline to explore are well placed here. The south coast shelters this stretch of shore, drawing local surfers when the southerly swells roll in and keeping the beach a less crowded spot to catch a wave. From the village, head along the seawall to neighbouring Seaton Beach or spend an afternoon at Seaton Valley Country Park. Portwrinkle, Millendreath, and Talland Bay lie further along the coast, each with its own stretch of sand. Looe and Whitsand Bay are 5 miles away. A surf school at Whitsand Bay is 10 miles along the coast.
The ground floor opens into a spacious, light-filled living and dining area with sliding doors onto the patio and garden. A corner sofa and two chairs face a Smart TV, with large windows framing sea views, and a door connecting through to a greenhouse. Alongside the sitting area, an extendable dining table seats eight, and a well-equipped kitchen completes the open-plan space. Bedroom one is on this floor too, with a zip-and-link bed configurable as a king or twin, built-in and freestanding wardrobes, and ocean views through sliding doors that open directly into the garden. Next door, the ground-floor shower room has a walk-in shower and WC. Bedroom two, also on the ground floor, has bunk beds, a built-in wardrobe, and sea views. A utility room with a washer/dryer is also on this level. On the first floor, the master bedroom has a super-king-size bed, built-in wardrobe, and ocean views through sliding doors leading to a private balcony with a table and chairs. Beside it, the bathroom has a bath with shower attachment and WC. A study completes the first floor, furnished with a desk, sofa bed, and built-in cupboard space, with its own sea views.
Planted with silver birches, acers, lavender, grasses, verbena, and a large fig tree, the enclosed garden stretches all the way to the shoreline, where a private gate opens directly onto the beach. A grassy lawn hosts an outdoor dining table, and the patio area has outdoor seating, a built-in BBQ, and a pizza oven. The greenhouse, with its mature grapevine and flowering bougainvillea, offers a sheltered spot with a table, chairs, and sea views. Private parking is available on the driveway for three cars, with a Wallbox tethered EV charger.
