A former smugglers cottage that sleeps four and allows dogs right on the beach in Kingsand, Cornwall. With sea views from every window and steps from the shore this period cottage overlooks the beach in the heart of Kingsand next to the Clock Tower and amenities. Inside, a cosy lounge with sea views, sofas, a stove and Smart TV provide every home comfort, whilst the kitchen diner also has sea views and leads to a secret smugglers/games cellar. All three bedrooms have sea views, two doubles and a single, served by the family bathroom. Parking in the village car park 100 yards away but its ok to unload outside the property.
Kingsand and Cawsand have three small beaches with sand and shingle separated by areas of rocks all with lovely views. Take the South West Coast Path to Penlee Point and Rame Head. Mount Edgcumbe Country Park and Antony House are a short drive and there are several golf courses in the immediate area. Whitsand Bay, 2 miles, has a long stretch of sand and rocks, and a summer passenger ferry operates from Cawsand Beach across the Sound landing at the Plymouth Barbican. Pubs, cafes and a general store/P.O.
Entrance
Entered from the narrow street that runs parallel with the seafront and forms part of the coastal footpath, this south facing property with accommodation arranged on 3 floors, is fronted by a wide pavement with space for beach chairs. Four steps lead up through a unique little porch with Burmese teak shutters salvaged from a ship and an inner front door opens into a central hallway.
Living Room
On one side is a cosy sitting room with SMART television, solid bamboo floor and two comfortable sofas facing the multi fuel stove. Windows overlooking the sea and the slipway on to Girt beach.
Kitchen
A fitted country kitchen with some natural exposed stonework and a drop leaf dining suite. Kitchen appliances include slimline dishwasher, fridge, freezer, microwave, electric oven and hob. A washing machine and separate tumble dryer are also provided. Windows overlooking the sea and the slipway on to Girt beach.
Cellar
In one corner of the kitchen, a low doorway and steep open-tread stairs lead down to a games room in the below sea level cellar with table football and storage space for beach gear. The cellar still retains some of the original niches when it was occupied by brandy smugglers!
