Step outside to discover the real highlight of this coastal retreat: a private balcony with outdoor seating, perfectly positioned to soak up views over the South West Coast Path, the beach, and the glittering sea beyond. Shared gardens overlook Baby Bay Beach, complete with a built-in barbecue and a dining table for eight, shared with the adjacent property, The Perch. The master bedroom, on the top floor, houses a comfortable king-size bed bathed in natural light from large windows, with a z-bed available for an additional child. Off-road parking for one car completes this thoughtfully designed home.
Imagine mornings spent on your private balcony, coffee in hand, watching the sea shimmer beyond Baby Bay Beach below. Afternoons call for sandy toes and rock pooling just a short stroll away, or a paddle along Porthilly Cove's scenic estuary. As the sun dips, head back to the shared garden for a barbecue with family, or simply relax on your balcony as the coastal light turns gold over Polzeath.
