Shearwater is a striking coastal retreat resting in Praa Sands, Cornwall, just a short stroll from the golden sweep of Praa Sands Beach.
With off-road parking for three cars, sweeping sea views, a brand new interior, super-fast fibre broadband, and a flexible layout that includes ground-floor bedrooms and a shower room, this is a fine choice for families or groups of friends looking to experience Cornwall from a well-placed base near The Lizard Heritage Coast.
Arrive to the scent of salt in the air and the sight of Mount’s Bay unfolding beyond the windows, then step inside to discover a bright, high-spec interior shaped by clean lines, sleek finishes, and a carefully chosen coastal palette.
The kitchen and dining space form the heart of the home, where streamlined fittings and generous light create an inviting setting for everything from slow breakfasts to sociable suppers after a day on the sand.
A wide opening leads into the sitting room, where the woodburning stove brings added character on cooler evenings and broad windows keep the sea in view throughout the day. From here, doors open onto a private patio, creating an easy flow between inside and out for morning coffee, evening drinks, and time spent watching the changing light across the water.
The sleeping arrangements are thoughtfully planned for mixed groups, with two ground-floor bedrooms including a king-size and a super-king-size that can also be arranged as a twin.
The larger of the two has its own TV, seating area, direct access to a second patio, and sea views that make the setting feel all the more special.
Upstairs, two further bedrooms each have a TV, and one benefits from its own en-suite shower room.
A family shower room completes the interior, while outside, the front lawn and rear terrace offer inviting places to dine, sit back, and take in the coastal backdrop.
Beyond the house, Praa Sands is known for its long sandy beach and rolling surf, while nearby Marazion offers access to St Michael’s Mount and views across the bay. Head to Porthleven for time around its historic harbour and dramatic shoreline, or venture onto the Lizard Peninsula to explore striking coves and cliffside scenery.
For culture and sea views combined, Tate St Ives and the Minack Theatre both make memorable days out. However you choose to spend your time on this stretch of the Cornish coast, Shearwater makes a superb base to return to.
