Sunset Farmhouse, Carnyorth welcomes you through its historic doorway into a world of granite walls, slate floors, and oak beams that whisper tales of centuries past. The spacious country kitchen features a dual range cooker, microwave, fridge / freezer, and dishwasher, whilst the adjoining utility room houses a washer / dryer for added convenience. The generous lounge draws you in with deep, comfortable sofas arranged before a granite fireplace with wood burner, perfect for cosy evenings after coastal adventures. Adjacent, the dining room centres around an impressive inglenook fireplace with Esse Ironheart range cooker, whilst the intimate snug offers a peaceful window seat retreat with handy storage for beach equipment.
Step outside to discover two private enclosed courtyards, one to the front and one to the rear, both furnished with tables and chairs for morning coffee or evening meals beneath the Cornish sky, with one courtyard featuring a characterful chimenea. Upstairs, three bedrooms provide restful havens: the master king-size room enjoys an en-suite walk-in shower room, a second king-size bedroom offers equally comfortable accommodation, and a double bedroom completes the sleeping arrangements. Two family bathrooms feature luxurious roll-top baths (one with shower over, one with hand-held mixer shower), whilst on-street parking sits nearby with space to unload directly outside.
Picture slow mornings with coffee in the courtyard, wood smoke curling from ancient chimneys as the moors stretch endlessly beyond. Days unfold along dramatic clifftops where Atlantic waves crash against granite, or wandering St Just's narrow lanes where mining heritage runs deep in every stone. As twilight descends, gather around crackling fires in rooms that have sheltered generations, sharing stories and laughter whilst Cornwall's wild beauty settles into starlit silence beyond your door.
