A spacious, light and airy cottage-style property with exposed beams, traditional Cornish slate and granite features and access to glorious North Cornwall beaches, this is a wonderful holiday home for a gatherings of family and friends. The pretty fishing port of Padstow is just 3 miles away, with its independent shops, pubs and renowned seafood restaurants. Stroll down narrow streets leading to the bustling waterfront and embark on one of the many boat trips on offer, from fishing and Sealife Safaris to a voyage along the spectacular North Cornwall coast on the veteran Jubilee Queen. Miles of splendid walks along the South West Coast Path are on the doorstep, with idyllic sand and surfing beaches, including Trevone Bay (3.5 miles) and Harlyn Bay (4 miles). Or take the ferry across the Camel Estuary to the family beach at Rock, where you can learn to paddleboard and kayak at a water sports school or book a round at scenic St Enodoc golf club overlooking the Atlantic.

The ground floor of this well-planned and beautifully furnished property has exposed beams in the partly open-plan living and dining rooms, with a wood burner that can be seen and enjoyed from both sides of the chimney breast. A simple contemporary interior includes comfortable sofas in the living room, with a Smart TV and a wooden table to seat ten in the dining room. From here, French doors open onto the large, enclosed garden and a patio. A granite ceiling arch is a striking feature in the streamlined white kitchen and there is a useful pantry and cloakroom with WC. Upstairs, three first-floor bedrooms all have country views. One of the two king-size bedrooms has a Smart TV, while the other can be unlinked to form 2′6″ twin beds. Bedroom three has twin 2′6″ beds which can be zip-linked to form a king-size bed.

A slate-floored glass balcony with a wonderful view to the Camel Estuary is a highlight of the second-floor master bedroom.
