Polzarth House

sleeps up to: 8

It has happened to us all: walking along a sundrenched beach, you drift aimlessly letting the cares of the world slip away. Suddenly, a house on a hill appears, taking in the glorious view of seaside cliffs and crashing waves – the perfect hideaway. You think to yourself how wonderful it must be to dine on that terrace with friends or to sit in front of an open fire and watch as a dramatic winter storm approaches. This house is in just such an idyllic coastal setting and offers the opportunity to indulge those very dreams. The setting of this property (whose red roof is seen in the main picture) is indeed exceptional but it is equally matched by the quality of its relaxed, stylish interior. True to its origins as a ‘beach house’, it is decorated in a simple Scandinavian style, taking full advantage of the strong south-facing light and, of course, the outstanding sea views. The large, openplan sitting room has comfortable sofas and chairs, perfect for reading a book or watching the sunset. The small but well-fitted kitchen and the abundance of bathrooms (2 bathrooms & 1 shower room) are all Accommodation: Ground Floor. Entrance Hall onto large Sitting/Family Room with exceptional views over the sea, sofa & chairs to seat 6, working fireplace. Double doors onto Kitchen with Dining Area, again overlooking the sea, table to seat 6/8. Simple Bedroom 4. High quality single bed (with pull-out bed which forms a large side-by-side twin bed, best-suited for occasional use only), double doors onto a sheltered terrace with table & chairs. Bathroom 3 with bath, whb, wc. Separate Shower. Single Garage with washer and dryer. First Floor. Bedroom 1 King-size double bedroom with 3 picture windows overlooking the sea and coastline, each with window seat. Leading to Bathroom 1. Bath with power shower over, whb, bidet, wc. Bedroom 2.

Surrounding the house, there are excellent terraces for sunbathing or dining, and pathways in the garden lead down to the beach. This corner of Cornwall and the Lizard Coast is deservedly popular in the summer, and blissfully peaceful in the off-season. The beach below the house is generally quiet as it has a strong riptide, but there are a number of gentle swimming beaches within easy reach of the house (the nearest being just one mile away). The South-West Coastal Path runs immediately behind the house, and leads to miles of cliff-side walks. There are ancient pubs in the charming port of Porthleven nearby, although there is a popular pub with food within a few minutes walk. Further afield, guests will enjoy visiting the superb Tate Gallery at St Ives, or St Michael’s Mount in Marazion. DISTANCES: Helston 4 mls, Penzance 13 mls, London 5 hrs (310 mls) by train & car
