“Seawards”. House with panoramic sea views, set directly above the SW Coast Path
About
Breathtaking views of the coast and with open countryside of the SW Coast Path and the beaches of SE Cornwall both just a 10 minute walk from the house. Views of the coast span out from every room. Please note, from July and August and during national school holidays (Easter and February, May and October half terms) we have to keep to only Saturday arrivals and departures, unless arranged with me directly in advance of making the booking. Other times any day of the week can be booked. Completely modernised, fully equipped and heated by an air source pump with underfloor heating, it is warm and welcoming in every season. Sleeps 4+2 (one king and one double bed and a comfortable double bed settee is available in the sitting room if needed). There is also a single air bed stored on the eaves cupboard in bedroom two, so three youngsters can sleep in the same room if this is preferred to using the bed settee in the living area. The linen and duvets for the single air bed and for the double bed settee, is stored right in front of the entrance to the eaves cupboard in bedroom two (the one closest to the bathroom). The air bed has its own integral electric pump which not only inflates but deflated it effortlessly, allowing you to put it back in the same place under the eaves. The terrace is as large as the ground floor onto which it opens with sliding glass doors spanning the entire frontage. A family bathroom upstairs with walk in shower and separate bath, and a downstairs shower and toilet. The kitchen and house are fully equipped, with washer/ dryer, dishwasher two fridges and freezers, microwave, electric oven and hob, slow cooker, steamer, soup maker etc. Outside furniture and useful beach equipment stored in the shed (chairs, parasol with plastic screw attachment for the beach, 4 body boards, triple inflatable canoe and a double paddle board with hand pump, rock pooling nets, and crab lines, 1 adult and 1 childs wet suit, beach badminton and plastic tennis, catch-ball, beach mats x 4, a metal beach screw to attach your dog to a lead etc, none is expensive or new but just provided to try to lessen the inevitable “beach clobber” that needs to be packed into your car). If things break, (which inevitably happens) no worries, but please let me know so I can replace them. PARKING. For up to 5 cars at the property. Please note. It can cost £30 each time an electric car is charged, if you have an electric vehicle and need to use the mains for this, please let me know. You can hear the sound of waves breaking on the shore from the house, and it is set on a quiet road (which is also the SW coast path) with only vehicles allowed for access to properties. NEARBY. A few ideas. GROCERIES The best place to shop is on the way down on the A38 at Saltash (Lidl, Waitrose and many other shops) only 20 minutes from the house, so ok if frozen food bought (great idea to bring a freezer bag with you- also handy for the beach on hot days). There are two fridges and two freezers in the kitchen, specifically to accommodate for a big initial shop. Otherwise, after you’ve arrived, Liskeard (Morrison’s, B&M, and Aldi) also takes 20 minutes, but closer than Saltash. If it’s a daytime trip, Liskeard is a rather nice little country town to look over at the same time as doing your shop. Eggs and honey are available a few doors down the access road “Treglisson” produced by my neighbours, Petra and Shaun.
