4 bed semi-detached house for sale

Sennen Cove, Sennen TR19

Description

In a prime, seafront location on the beautiful Sennen Cove, is this handsome, double-fronted Victorian villa with direct and uninterrupted, jaw-dropping views of the sea and the long stretch of golden sand that are just moments from the front door of Beachfield. In addition to this stunning beach-adjacent period property, the rear garden is of particular note as it is a large plot of sloped land with the most spectacular, elevated views of the cove, that also benefits from vehicular access to the rear! There are some significant opportunities here!

Entering Beachfield, you will immediately appreciate the timeless elegance of Victorian homes with original features through the house; high ceilings, large windows and well-proportioned rooms. Of course, the larger windows are especially important here, allowing frontline views of the beach, the surf, and the occasional dolphin passing through.

With its almost original layout, the front of the house offers two good-sized reception rooms, one that stretches front to back, with a large fireplace in the rear of the room along with original built-in cupboards to either side. Both reception rooms have large bay windows; perfect for watching the sun setting over the sea. The kitchen and scullery area are to the rear of the property, but with some fairly straightforward re-configuration, the ground floor could offer spectacular living space that would maximise those breathtaking views of the sea.

To the first floor, are four double bedrooms and a family bathroom off a spacious and bright landing (thanks to the large, Victorian etched glass landing window). The two front bedrooms offer the dreamy prospect of waking up to the sound of the waves crashing on the rocks beneath your window, and zipping across the road to swim or stroll on the beautiful beach.

To the rear of the property is an enclosed courtyard garden with an enchanting outbuilding with mains power and a small mezzanine area, as well as an outhouse/WC. Through the courtyard, and there is a large, sloped plot of lawned garden that stretches up to offer the most incredible views over rooftops of the sweeping cove. There is vehicular access across the neighbours land to the rear, making this site accessible and offering potential for some development (subject to planning of course).

Location

Situated just over a mile from Land's End, Sennen Cove is one of West Cornwall's most popular and well known surfing beaches. It has a good community with a shop, primary school and church and access to some of the country's most beautiful and breath-taking coastline, beaches and coves via the Cornish Coastal Path. The nearest major town is Penzance, approximately nine miles distant, where you will find a comprehensive range of shops and commercial facilities and well as schools and a college, providing education for all ages along with a mainline rail link to London Paddington.
