Exceptional Service

This exceptional waterfront home unfolds across generous proportions, offering a seamless blend of comfort and relaxed coastal living. On the ground floor, the main living room is expansive and light-filled, with high ceilings and large windows drawing the seascape into the heart of the home. A wood-burning stove creates a welcoming focal point, while doors open directly to the outside, allowing sea air and the call of curlew. A second, more relaxed sitting room provides a peaceful retreat for reading, watching films or providing younger guests with their own space.

The kitchen is designed for effortless entertaining, centred around a statement Aga and a substantial island, with appliances throughout. Adjacent to this, the dining area transforms, opens via full width folding doors, transforming into a sheltered alfresco space where long meals unfold against ever-changing water views. A well-equipped utility room adds practicality, with space for laundry, coats and wetsuits and a shower to warm up after a dip in the sea.

The house features six individually styled bedrooms arranged across two floors. Upstairs, the master suite includes a super king bed, a large private terrace accessed via folding doors, and beautiful views across the creek and surrounding hamlet. Its en-suite bathroom offers a double-ended bath and walk-in waterfall shower. Two twin bedrooms on this floor share a contemporary shower room, ideal for families.

On the ground floor, a second super king bedroom enjoys a luxurious en-suite with freestanding bath and walk-in shower. Two further bright bedrooms offer flexible twin or king-size arrangements and share a spacious shower room with dual access.

Outside, the property fully embraces its extraordinary setting. A landscaped garden looks directly over the water, complete with a hot tub, dining terrace and hammock posts for slow afternoons in the sun. Private access leads down to the water’s edge on both sides of the house, with a small private beach with rock pools and space to store moor kayaks or paddleboards - an invitation to experience the sea creek harbour from every angle. Guest may also enjoy the property’s sandy spit where they may moor small dinghies or kayaks.

Location of 'Sea Island

Location

The neighbourhood

Tucked away along one of Cornwall’s most beautiful and unspoilt stretches of coastline, the surrounding area offers a rare sense of tranquillity and connection to nature. Sheltered creeks, quiet harbours and gently lapping waters make this an idyllic location for kayaking, paddleboarding and wild swimming, while the surrounding countryside invites leisurely exploration on foot.

Coastal paths weave their way along dramatic headlands and peaceful estuaries, revealing hidden coves, sweeping sea views and abundant wildlife. This is a landscape that rewards curiosity - from early morning walks accompanied by birdsong to golden-hour strolls as the light softens across the water.
