Sennen Cove

Hunters West Cornwall have something very special for you. Perched in a commanding frontline position, with breathtaking, uninterrupted sea views across Sennen Cove, this substantial, double-fronted four-bedroom period home is a true coastal gem. Grand in scale, rich in character, and brimming with potential, properties of this distinction – with such an extraordinary outlook and generous proportions – rarely come to the open market. In fact, this much-loved home has been in the same family for many years. Outside, the property benefits from driveway parking, a pleasant courtyard, a stone outbuilding (our inner property developer got very excited when we saw this!) and a large hillside garden – perhaps boasting the very best outlook in Sennen Cove.

The Property - The promenade is a fantastic spot to spend your day — offering sweeping views over the beach and an abundance of cafés and restaurants perfect for a bite to eat. Take a leisurely stroll along, and you’ll soon spot our listing. With undeniable curb appeal and the rare luxury of off-street driveway parking, it’s an inviting sight from the outset.

Step inside and you’re welcomed by two generous front reception rooms, each graced with a striking bay window framing breathtaking sea views — the kind you could happily watch for hours. To the rear, you’ll find a well-appointed kitchen and a practical utility room.

Upstairs, there are four spacious double bedrooms, with the two front rooms enjoying those same spectacular sea views, plus a family bathroom to complete the layout.

Whilst this home would benefit from updating throughout, the potential here is truly immense — a chance to create your dream coastal retreat in an enviable location.

Outside - To the rear, a pleasant courtyard leads to a truly charming outbuilding which, subject to the necessary planning permissions and consents, offers exciting scope for a variety of uses. Beyond this lies something rather exceptional — a substantial hillside garden, mainly laid to lawn, rising gracefully up the slope. At the very top, a superb seating area awaits, where the views across the cove are, in our opinion, simply unbeatable.

The Location - Sennen Cove is a postcard-perfect Cornish village, home to an award-winning stretch of golden sand. Known for its excellent surf, charming harbour, beautiful beach, and the historic Old Success Inn, it blends a laid-back holiday vibe with convenience and community. Cafés and coastal walks along the South West Coast Path add to its allure, while the RNLI lifeboat station and strong community spirit give it real character. It’s the kind of place where you can watch the tide roll in, pick up a pasty, and never want to leave.

Just 25 minute or so drive away, Penzance offers a wider range of amenities and services. From Georgian architecture and boutique shopping on Chapel Street to the Art Deco Jubilee Pool and subtropical Morrab Gardens, the town is rich in charm. Festivals, galleries, and year-round events make it a lively hub—perfect for those who want peaceful coastal living with a dash of culture and convenience right on the doorstep.
