Beachcombers

The Property

• Atmosphere

Beachcombers is a newly renovated and individual house, decorated and designed with many high quality finishes and plenty of inspiration. From the moment you walk into the attractive entrance hall there is a sense of calm and space. The ground floor is largely open plan - with the kitchen opening out into the dining area, and further out onto the sunny terrace and garden at the back. The downstairs sitting room has high ceilings and is flooded with light - a great room to be in. The fresh décor, wood burners, individual Kenyan furniture, and bespoke kitchen all provide a real sense of style and quality, letting you know that you are staying somewhere rather special and not in just another holiday house.

• Sleeping

Five bedrooms are arranged over the ground and first floor. The large master bedroom can be found upstairs, with views down towards the sea across the rooftops of Constantine. There is a significant sliver of sea view from the large windows that fill the whole west facing wall. The room has a King sized bed, plenty of hanging space and a flat screen TV on top of a large chest of drawers. There is also a cosy seating area in the window.

The other four bedrooms are downstairs. The second bedroom also has a king bed and is located to the far right of the property near to the downstairs shower room and has a window facing out to the front garden. It has a double wardrobe and a large chest of drawers and wooden Venetian blinds.

The other bedrooms can be found down the corridor on the left of the property.  The first of these is a twin room and the bunk room is opposite at the end of the hall. The twin has wall mounted hooks and hangers and a 3 door cupboard at knee height. The bunk room has a chest of drawers and wall mounted hooks as well as under bed storage. The final bedroom is located next to the bunk room and opposite the downstairs shower room. It has a double bed (4ft 6) and a built in cupboard with a hanging rail as well as low chests of drawers either side of the bed and wall mounted hooks.

There are three bath/shower rooms at Beachcombers. Downstairs is a modern shower room with corner cubicle and powerful shower with a loo, basin, touch operated heated mirror and heated towel rail. The family bathroom is located upstairs. It has a modern white suite with a shower over the bath, heated towel rail and touch operated heated mirror.  The last shower room is located downstairs near the second bedroom and has a modern walk in shower, basin and toilet.

• Kitchen and Dining

The main open-plan area of Beachcombers is given over to the beautiful handmade kitchen, the dining area and a large open space leading out onto the terrace at the back and to the back hall and bedrooms. The kitchen has slate worktops and bespoke maple wood cabinets. The cooker is a large electric, induction range, two large ovens and a grill with a stainless steel extractor and glass splash-back. The one and a half sink is also stainless steel and located with a view out over the front lawn. There is an under-counter fridge (the large fridge-freezer being nearby in the utility room) and a dishwasher.

The dining table is alongside the kitchen positioned to allow plenty of fun while preparing food and also making serving and clearing away easy. The table seats eight with ease and has plenty of room for nine or ten when needed. There is also a good-sized and very effective Charnwood wood burner within this large living space. This is a great space, and much of your time will be spent in here.

• Living rooms

Beachcombers benefits from two completely separate sitting rooms - perfect when a big gang of children colonise an area of the house! Downstairs, through double doors, off the main living area is a large extension with towering ceiling height and masses of light! The ceiling has exposed timbers and big roof windows and there are large French doors which head out onto the back terrace. This rather special room also has a modern Contura wood burner, a large 4K TV with Netflix and Amazon Video, and three large Kenyan mangrove wooden sofas with comfortable seats and cushions. The room is painted white, keeping it clean, fresh and light but has some lovely homely touches.

Upstairs, there is a second large sitting room, with a modern comfortable sofa and two chairs. There is also a large flat screen TV, DVD player and books, games and DVDs for your use. Keep cosy up here by lighting the third wood burner! Views are similar to the master bedroom - towards the sea across Constantine.

• Facilities

Entertainment includes three flat screen TVs (one 4K with Netflix and Amazon Video) and DVD player, a Bluetooth music player, and wireless fibre broadband is also available throughout the house. There is a good-sized utility with large fridge-freezer, washing machine, tumble dryer, more worktop and kitchen units and a Belfast sink. The house has underfloor heating throughout the house with a thermostat in each room. There are three wood burners, so the house can easily be kept very warm and to your requirements. Kindling and fire lighters are provided by Raintree and wood can be ordered from Raintree or bought locally.

• Outside

The gardens at Beachcombers are a particular bonus. At the front there is a large grass area that is perfect for a bit of football or a kick around with a rugby ball. Rather good for a cricket wicket too!

Round the back is the south-west facing back garden and terrace. The BBQ and garden furniture is here, and two sets of French windows lead out from the kitchen/dining room and the downstairs sitting room. You can also get into the rear garden via a pedestrian gate at the far end of the house - secured with a key code.

The rear garden is a perfect suntrap for late afternoon and into the evening, and a lovely place to eat out at any time.

There are outside taps with hoses at the back and front of the property, ideal for rinsing off sandy toes and wet suits after a day on the beach.

• Nearby

Beachcombers is very well located for most of your immediate requirements. The shops at Constantine are about 100 yards down the lane - good for all kinds of food or supplies as well as surf rental. The golf club is another 150 yards along the same road. And you are minutes from the two wonderful beaches of Constantine and Treyarnon. The beach at Constantine can be reached down the beach road past the shops, or down a small footpath from the corner of the golf club and along the edge of the golf course. The path emerges in the middle of the fantastic dunes at the top of the beach after less than 10 minutes walk. You can easily walk to Treyarnon too - right out of the house, and then right across the campsite. Both beaches are under 10 minutes walk.

St Merryn is the nearby village providing pubs and shops, as well as a number of takeaways restaurants including Rafferty's or Crafthouse for dining out. Padstow is only 10 minutes drive away -with its array of boutique shops and gourmet eateries.
