Gulland, St Merryn is a cleverly designed reverse-level apartment, offering a relaxed space where the main living areas sit upstairs to make the most of those far-reaching coastal views. The first-floor kitchen / diner is a generous room with plenty of cupboard and worktop space, plus a sociable bar-style seating area perfect for morning coffee or casual meals. Step through into the adjoining lounge, where comfortable leather seating invites you to relax, and glass doors lead out onto the balcony, the true heart of this home.
Heading outside, the first-floor balcony is where you'll want to spend every evening, watching the sun dip over Harlyn Bay and Gulland Rock with a glass of something cold in hand. Downstairs, a shared garden with garden furniture offers a lovely spot for children or dogs to play in the fresh Cornish air. Two ground-floor bedrooms, a king and a twin, each with built-in wardrobes, provide comfortable sleeping, served by a spacious shower room with a walk-in shower. Ample private parking is available at the end of the quiet private lane.
Picture evenings spent on the balcony, the sky awash with pink and gold as the sun sinks beyond Gulland Rock, the distant hush of waves carrying on the breeze. Days might begin with a gentle stroll along footpaths to the village shop, pub, and restaurant, before heading off to explore St Merryn's famous Seven Bays. Return each evening to this peaceful retreat, where the only sounds are birdsong and the Cornish wind.
