Gull Cottage

Description

Details

A beautiful old fish store, sitting on the edge of a cliff surrounded by the sea and overlooking St Agnes beach, the small stone cottage was renovated 10 years ago into a comfortable and cosy open plan space, decorated in a bohemian beach style. The surfers ride the waves beneath the cottage and the sound of the tides lull you to sleep each night. Gull Cottage is at the end of a cliff top road and is the last property before the National Trust coastal path begins.

Inside

There are breath-taking views from every room in this cottage. The front door opens onto a large sitting room with floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the sea. There is an open fireplace, comfy sofas and an open-plan kitchen and dining area with exposed wooden and steel beams and easy access to the garden where summer lunches are often a long, balmy affair.

Walk down the quirky old railway sleeper staircase on to the floor below and find a cosier TV room with a fire and doors out on to the terrace. The bedrooms are positioned beneath the stairs.  The utilities, washer and dryer are outside in the store under the bridge with the surfboards wetsuits and boogie boards.

Bedrooms

4 bedrooms; master (king sized bed), 2 double bedrooms (one has a king bed) and 4th bedroom (king sized bed) . The master double bedroom with en suite is located on the ground floor. It’s bright and spacious with wooden floors, exposed beams with views of the beach, as well as an en suite bathroom with a roll top bath tub.

Beneath the stairs there is another double bedroom (king sized bed), a second double bedroom with en suite shower room/wet room and the final double bedroom overlooking the terrace and beach below. The wet room can be accessed from outside, so you can step straight out of the chilly sea into a warm shower room, with not one but two rainfall shower heads.

Outside
