Shearwater is an impressive coastal house resting in Praa Sands, Cornwall, only a short walk from the broad sandy beach.
With private parking for three cars, far-reaching sea views, a newly refreshed interior, super-fast fibre broadband, and a versatile layout with ground-floor bedrooms and a shower room, this is an excellent choice for families or groups of friends seeking a stylish stay near The Lizard Heritage Coast.
On arrival, the sea air and open outlook across Mount’s Bay immediately set the scene, while inside, the property reveals a bright and carefully updated interior with crisp finishes, sleek fittings, and a considered coastal feel throughout.
The kitchen/diner creates a sociable hub for the home, where light pours in across streamlined surfaces, and there is plenty of room for gathering over breakfast before heading to the shore or settling in for an evening meal after a day outdoors.
From here, an open connection leads into the sitting room, where the woodburning stove adds character and warmth when the weather turns cooler, and large windows keep the coastal backdrop in view.
Doors open directly onto the patio, giving easy access to an outdoor space made for morning coffee, sunset drinks, and time spent watching the water shift with the light.
The bedroom arrangement works especially well for a mixed-age group, with two ground-floor rooms that include a king-size and a super-king-size.
The larger bedroom also benefits from its own TV, a seating area, direct access to a second patio, and sea views that add something special to the space.
Upstairs, two further bedrooms each have a TV, and one is served by an en-suite shower room.
A family shower room completes the interior, while outside, the front lawn and rear terrace provide further places to sit out, dine together, and enjoy the coastal setting.
Beyond the property, Praa Sands is known for its long stretch of golden sand and rolling surf, while nearby Marazion offers access to St Michael’s Mount and striking views across the bay.
Porthleven makes an excellent day out for harbour walks and dramatic sea scenes, while the Lizard Peninsula offers rugged coves and striking cliffside scenery.
For art and culture by the coast, Tate St Ives and the Minack Theatre both make memorable additions to your itinerary.
However you spend your time in this part of Cornwall, Shearwater offers a superb setting to return to at the end of each day.
