Sennen Cove | West Cornwall

An exceptionally well-proportioned and beautifully presented modern residence, enjoying captivating coastal views and set within one of West Cornwall’s most desirable villages.

This stylish and impressive family-sized detached home offers expansive and versatile accommodation arranged over three floors. The layout is both spacious and thoughtfully designed to support adaptable family living, including the potential for multi-generational use, with four reception rooms distributed across the two main levels.

A large entrance hall welcomes you into the property, with standout features including a striking galleried ceiling and a staircase finished in glass and stainless steel. The principal sitting room extends to nearly 20 feet and centres around a contemporary wood-burning stove. Timber double doors open into a 14’ x 10’10” garden room, which enjoys views over and access to the delightful south-facing rear gardens. At the front is a cosy yet generous snug that enjoys far-reaching views across the adjoining landscape and towards the sea and cove below. This room could equally serve as a formal dining space if desired or a potential ground floor bedroom. A 12’7” x 10’3” study offers the ideal work-from-home space and there is a ground floor WC accessed from the hallway too.

To the rear, the heart of the home is an impressive L-shaped 24’ kitchen/diner overlooking the southerly gardens. This beautifully appointed space features sleek white cabinetry, a central island and polished granite worktops. French doors open from the dining area onto the sun-drenched patio, creating an effortless indoor-outdoor flow. A door leads from the kitchen into a large adjoining utility room that also has a door opening out into the rear gardens.

Upstairs, the sense of space continues. A luxurious principal suite benefits from a stylish en suite bathroom, complete with corner bath and separate shower. The second bedroom spans almost 20 feet and features dual walk-out Velux windows with glorious sea and coastline views. To the opposite side, a south-facing balcony overlooks the garden below. The third double bedroom enjoys a garden aspect, while the fourth bedroom is currently arranged as a first-floor sitting room, with bi-folding doors framing the finest views in the house. A separate staircase, accessed from a door on the landing, leads to the top floor where a 25’ loft-level bedroom is found. This versatile space features two roof windows and a door to a walk-in loft room.

Gardens And Grounds - Cove Lodge occupies a generous plot of just over 0.27 acre, accessed via a gated entrance leading to a spacious gravel driveway with ample parking and two integral garages. The larger garage measures 17’1” x 9’11” and includes a separate walk-in store, while the second garage measures 11’6” x 9’5”.

The beautifully landscaped rear gardens are south-facing and feature a generous lawn, bordered by exotic planting, including palms and succulents. A large patio with pergola offers a sheltered and sunny space, ideal for relaxing or entertaining.

At the far end of the garden stands a detached studio, currently used as a gym and games room but it would be equally well suited as a home office or creative space.

Location - The property enjoys an enviable setting within the highly sought-after coastal enclave of Sennen Cove. Once a traditional fishing village, Sennen is now renowned for its sweeping sandy beach, excellent surf, and its historic harbour is still home to a small working fleet. The area falls within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, and both Sennen Cove and neighbouring Gwynver Beach are within easy walking distance — perfect for beach days, water sports, and stunning coastal walks. The South West Coast Path also runs through the village, offering spectacular views of this unspoilt peninsula.

Sennen Cove and Sennen village provide a range of local amenities, including shops, pubs, and restaurants. The market town of Penzance, nine miles to the east, serves as the area’s main commercial hub, with a mainline railway station offering direct services to London Paddington.

Just 1.5 miles away lies the iconic Land’s End, with its dramatic cliffs and visitor attractions. Other local highlights include the Minack Theatre at Porthcurno, Cape Cornwall, the charming harbour of Mousehole, and the tidal island of St Michael’s Mount — all offering wonderful opportunities for exploration. Several of the attractions offer a local pass scheme, whereby admission and sometimes parking is free if you live full time within certain post codes of the West Penwith area.

Services - Mains water, electricity, and drainage. Oil-fired central heating. Superfast broadband available.

Directions - From Penzance proceed in a westerly direction along the A30 towards Lands End initially and then Sennen. Upon reaching the village of Sennen, at the mini roundabout turn right for Sennen Cove. Follow the road down and Cove Lodge is the first property on your left-hand side.
