Step inside Kittiwake through the enclosed, south-facing decked terrace to discover a bright, open-plan living, kitchen and dining space awash with colour. The compact kitchen is well equipped for keen cooks, with an air fryer, Nespresso coffee machine and all the mod cons needed for a relaxed self-catering stay. Sink into the sumptuous, velvety sofa after a bracing coast path walk, or gather around the simple wooden dining table with its handy, space-saving folding chairs for home-cooked meals and shared stories.
Stepping outside, the spacious decked terrace enjoys sunshine for most of the day thanks to its perfect south-facing aspect, overlooking a shared lawned garden; step further to the nearby shared field for magnificent sea and clifftop views. Two charming bedrooms, a double and a twin, feature pretty white bedsteads, soft coastal linens and ample storage, while the bright bathroom carries the seaside theme through with shell accents and pictures. An allocated parking space lies just 50 metres away, ideal for unloading the car before settling in.
Imagine lazy mornings on the sunny terrace, coffee in hand, watching gulls wheel above Mullion harbour below. Spend your days discovering golden beaches, rock pools and the dramatic South West Coast Path just moments from the door, then return for an evening barbecue in the shared field as the sun sinks over the Lizard Peninsula. As night falls, unwind in the cosy living space, the gentle hum of the sea a constant, comforting companion.
