Follow the daily rhythm of the tides at this striking contemporary townhouse sitting directly on the waterfront at the Hayle Estuary. With 3 miles of golden sand to discover just 200 metres along the promenade, it sleeps six people across three bedrooms, and is ideal for families or groups who are searching for a stylish, beach-ready base to call home while they discover the extraordinary stretch of coastline between Hayle and Godrevy together. Stroll along the promenade to Hayle Beach and then follow the sands north all the way to Godrevy Point to see its famous lighthouse and the seals at Mutton Cove. Or head to St Erth and hop on a train for a scenic 4.5-mile journey along the shoreline. In the evening, step out onto your balcony and watch the tide slowly turn in the estuary beneath you.
Pull into your private parking spot and step inside this stylish split-level townhouse. Stairs from the ground floor lead up to a sleek open-plan living/kitchen/dining space on the first-floor, which is arranged to make the most of the views through the wall-to-wall glass sliding doors that open onto your first-floor balcony. Cook up a feast in the kitchen and share a relaxed dinner at the wooden dining table while you watch the evening light moving across the estuary. Afterwards, treat yourself to a cocktail on the first-floor balcony, or sink into a sofa in the living area to catch up on your favourite shows on the Smart TV. When the day is done, three bedrooms are waiting for you. On the ground-floor you’ll find a master super-king-size with an en-suite shower room and sliding doors that lead out onto a private terrace directly above the water; as well as a handy twin that’s served by the family bathroom with shower over the bath. Up on the second-floor mezzanine you’ll discover a king-size that overlooks the living area below through a glass rail (please note this room has no door and is not suitable for children). In the morning, enjoy a freshly-brewed coffee on the ground-floor terrace, and then grab your board from the building’s surfboard storage space and head to the beach.
Set off for the birdwatching hides at the Hayle Estuary Nature Reserve (0.5 miles) to spot oystercatchers and curlew. During the spring and autumn, you may see some extraordinary starling murmurations over the tidal water. Or take the train from Hayle station (0.5 miles) one stop to St Erth, to join the scenic St Ives Bay branch line 4.5 miles to St Ives to explore its iconic Tate Art Gallery.
