This three-bedroom contemporary townhouse sits directly on the waterfront of Hayle estuary in West Cornwall, offering families and groups a front-row seat to stunning coastal scenery. The golden sandy beach is just 200 metres away via the pedestrian promenade, with a 3-mile expanse of sand stretching from Hayle Towans across to Godrevy Point.
Inside, the spacious open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner occupies the first floor, where wall-to-wall glass sliding doors open to reveal uninterrupted views over the estuary. The living space features a corner sofa, occasional chairs, a 55-inch Smart TV and a Bluetooth soundbar, while the dining area seats six at a wooden table with bench and chairs. The fully equipped kitchen includes a central island with stools, induction hob, oven, fridge/freezer, dishwasher and washer/dryer. On the ground floor, the master bedroom has a super-king-size bed with glass sliding doors onto a private balcony over the water. A second bedroom also features an en-suite shower room, while the mezzanine bedroom on the second floor has a king-size bed with a glass balcony overlooking the living area and its own en-suite – note this room has no door and is not suitable for children. Bedroom three has twin beds, and a family bathroom provides a bath with a shower overhead. Underfloor heating runs throughout. Outside, both the ground-floor terrace and first-floor balcony offer immediate sea views with seating. Private parking is available for one vehicle with additional parking nearby, and a large storage unit holds bikes, wetsuits and surfboards.
Hayle sits at the mouth of the estuary, nestled between St Ives and Gwithian, with cafes and bakeries nearby for hungry stomachs. St Ives Bay stretches to Godrevy Lighthouse – miles of golden sand and expansive horizon. Gwithian (3.5 miles) offers flat open sand for kite flying and horse riding, while Godrevy's iconic lighthouse (5 miles) – famed for inspiring Virginia Woolf's ‘To the Lighthouse’ – stands proud on its rocky outcrop. The rugged coastline sweeps over the National Trust-owned headland to Mutton Cove (5 miles), home to a grey seal colony, and the nature reserve is a prime spot for murmurations.
