A beautifully positioned and immaculately presented coastal cottage enjoying breathtaking sea views, just moments from the sandy shores of Gorran Haven. This charming and deceptively spacious period home forms one of a select terrace of four cottages dating from circa 1870, originally built to serve the prestigious Caerhays Estate.

Occupying a prominent position in the very heart of the village and just 50 yards from the east facing beach, the property enjoys an enviable setting with immediate access to both the shoreline and the South Cornwall Coastal Path. The outlook is truly captivating, taking in the beach, harbour, open sea and dramatic, rugged coastline beyond.
The cottage has been thoughtfully maintained and is presented in a light, neutral palette, enhancing the sense of space and coastal calm. Equally suited as a permanent residence or an elegant holiday retreat, the property delivers both practicality and charm in equal measure.
The accommodation is generously proportioned and well arranged, comprising a welcoming living room with outstanding sea and coastal views, alongside a well fitted kitchen dining room designed for both everyday use and relaxed entertaining.
There are two spacious bedrooms, including a principal double room with king size bed and a well sized twin room, both benefitting from excellent natural light. The interiors are bright, comfortable and carefully considered throughout.
Externally
To the front, a charming terrace provides a wonderful vantage point with uninterrupted views across the beach, harbour and coastline. A pathway leads to a further seating area, perfectly positioned for al fresco dining and barbeques, again enjoying the same exceptional outlook.
An elevated seating area offers an additional perspective, capturing panoramic views across the village and coastline stretching into the distance. To the rear, a shared courtyard leads to a substantial utility outhouse with dedicated laundry facilities, as well as an outside store, ideal for beach equipment, wetsuits, surfboards and bicycles. An oil tank is discreetly positioned within the grounds.
Summary
This is a rare opportunity to acquire a characterful and beautifully situated coastal home, combining period heritage with modern comfort in an exceptional beachfront setting. With direct access to the coastal path, immediate proximity to the beach and uninterrupted sea views, the property represents an outstanding lifestyle or investment opportunity in one of Cornwall’s most desirable locations.
