This three-bedroom contemporary house sits on the waterfront of Hayle estuary in west Cornwall, with wall-to-wall glass doors opening to uninterrupted views across the water. Ideal for couples and families seeking a coastal holiday built around surfing, watersports, and long beach days, it is 200 metres from Hayle Beach along the promenade. The golden sands stretch for 3 miles from Hayle Towans to Godrevy Point, and Gwithian Beach further along the coast offers flat, open sand for kite flying and horse riding – ponies are a regular sight cantering through the shallows. Godrevy headland – owned by the National Trust – rises beyond the beach to clifftop walks above Mutton Cove, home to a grey seal colony. The Saltings nature reserve on the estuary draws birdwatchers for murmurations during the shoulder months, and St Ives and Carbis Bay are accessible by a scenic coastal train line that hugs the shore.
This split-level home is arranged across three floors. The first floor holds the open-plan living area, kitchen, and dining space – a bright, glass-fronted room where wall-to-wall sliding doors open fully onto a balcony above the water. A five-seater sofa and armchair sit opposite the Smart TV, with a Bluetooth speaker for music. The kitchen wraps around a central breakfast island with two bar stools, while a wooden dining table with chairs and bench provides space for meals. A study desk and leather chair occupy one corner. Down on the ground floor, the second bedroom has a king-size bed, freestanding wardrobe with mirror, dresser, and a three-seater sofa, with glass sliding doors leading onto a balcony directly over the water. Its en-suite shower room has a walk-in shower and WC. Next door, the twin bedroom has a freestanding wardrobe and bedside cabinets, and is served by the family bathroom with a bath, shower over the bath, and WC. The master bedroom sits on the second floor, occupying a mezzanine level that overlooks the open-plan living area below through a glass balcony rail. A king-size bed and built-in wardrobe complete the room, and the en-suite shower room has a walk-in shower and WC.
The ground-floor balcony, accessed from the second bedroom, is furnished with two rattan lounge chairs looking out over the estuary. A second balcony off the first-floor living area has two rattan chairs and a side table with far-reaching sea views. Covered outdoor storage on the driveway at the front is available for wetsuits and surfboards. Private parking is provided for one car on the driveway.
