Location

Daymer beach is in a sheltered bay between Polzeath and Rock and is a beautiful stop along the South West Coast Path which connects all coves and bays along this stunning stretch of Atlantic coast. Daymer is popular with families for its safe swimming and extensive rockpools, which on a low tide extend to the neighbouring beach of Greenaway. A short walk leads around Brae Hill to the wide expanse of beach along the estuary towards Rock. Stepper Point, at the mouth of the estuary, protects Daymer and all the coves along to Padstow.

Behind the dunes a path leads from the beach to St Enodoc Church, which was unearthed in the late 19thc. from sand that had engulfed it over the centuries. Today it lends its name to the championship golf course that surrounds it. The Cottage is situated just a few metres from the beach, the path across the golf course and the coast path.

Description

Built in 2010 of white rendered block and slate, The Cottage is a contemporary version of the familiar Cornish seaside home.

The ground floor is a light and airy open plan living area, incorporating comfy seating, large dining area and the kitchen at the heart of the house. A wood burner is a feature. Patio doors open onto the terrace that extends along the west facing aspect, allowing easy access from the kitchen for outdoor dining. The kitchen is fully fitted and has a large island and breakfast bar. Beyond is a large, fitted utility room, the back door to the garden, the internal door to the garage and an impressive wet room.

Two large double bedrooms are dual aspect with garden views and one of them having a patio door onto the west facing terrace. Between them is a spacious family bathroom.
Stairs to the first floor arrive at a wide landing/study and the upper living room, beautifully bright under a lofty, pitched ceiling. The entire west facing wall is glazed and opens to a wide balcony, perfect for enjoying the extensive views. For cooler evenings there is a wood burner. Two large en suite bedrooms complete this floor, both with the estuary views framed by dormer windows. The shower rooms are spacious and nicely tiled.

Practicality and comfort combine throughout, with warm wood floors, pale bedroom carpets, stone tiled flooring, floor to ceiling storage (automatically lit), under eaves storage and good quality fittings. The overall design of The Cottage is spacious, naturally lit and delightful.

The Cottage sits in a generous garden, with the lawn and mature hedges neatly maintained. The gated entrance from Daymer Lane turns into a tarmacked drive with room for two vehicles, as well as the single garage (which has additional storage space). The paved terrace extends from the front along the side of the house to the entrance. A pedestrian gate opens onto the lane to the beach and in the top corner of the garden a double gate accesses the parking field for a short cut onto the coast path.
