Welcome to Stable Cottage, a secluded detached home where you’ll feel like you’re in your own sanctuary, yet only 400m from award-winning Watergate Bay. Sleeping eight, this light-filled contemporary retreat is a fabulous space to enjoy a Cornish beach holiday.

Enter through a private gate, via a large driveway and you’ll see stone-built Stable Cottage sitting pretty. Conveniently spread across one floor, as you make your way through the cottage you’ll be greeted with plenty of natural light, comforting furnishings and generous space. Neutrally styled, there are many standout features, including exposed stonework and vaulted ceilings.

The open-plan living/kitchen/diner is the perfect space for group entertaining. The vibrant kitchen, with fully fitted creamy blue cabinets, is a focal point with stunning Moroccan tiled walls. It comes well equipped too, there’s a Neff electric hob and extractor fan, an integrated microwave/combi oven, a warming drawer, American-style fridge freezer, dishwasher, and an elegant wine fridge. Coffee lovers are also taken care of with a Nespresso Magimix coffee machine, what better way to kickstart your day?

Enjoy fine Cornish fare on the kitchen’s island breakfast bar with two stools, or dine together on the large wooden table, which has a one bench and five chairs comfortably seating eight – it’s situated under a stunning roof light and the large double aspect windows have some fabulous garden views, flooding the space with natural light. And for when it’s time to kick back the comfy corner sofa has plenty of room for guests to relax under the vaulted ceiling with wooden beams. There’s also an added padded window seat, footstool and a wall-mounted smartTV to enjoy your favourite shows.

Let’s not forget the convenient utility room at the back of the property, with washing machine and tumble dryer, plus double doors to the back garden.

The bedrooms are all generous sizes, thoughtfully decorated with a calming coastal colour palette which is inviting yet restful with wooden flooring throughout and exposed stone feature walls. Laid out as two separate wings, with the open-plan living space taking centre stage, you’ll find a family bathroom on each side as well as access to the rear gardens. The master bedroom is located at the front of the house with views out to the glorious garden. There’s a sumptuous super-king sized bed, wall-mounted smartTV, and plenty of storage. Likewise, the second double is also at the front of the house, benefitting from gorgeous garden and countryside views, it features a king size bed, wall-mounted TV, ample storage and a patio door. The two further bedrooms are both at the rear of the house; there’s a twin set up and bunk beds in the other bedroom, each room is flooded with natural light and is fully equipped for your storage needs. As mentioned there’s a bathroom on each side, to the right (the master bedroom side) is the family bathroom which features bath with shower over, a glass roof light, heated towel rail, WC and basin. To the left, there’s a handy shower room which is positioned off a utility room, which boasts a large walk-in rainfall shower.

One of the highlights has to be the fabulous outdoor space, with lots of sectors to explore. Situated in a glorious countryside setting, you are surrounded by rolling Cornish fields and a wealth of trees which feels wonderfully secluded and private. The large driveway has space for at least four cars, while the generous lawns wrap around the property. To the rear guests are spoilt with a large patio which is slightly elevated from the house, via some steps. There’s plenty of garden furniture for everyone, with an outdoor corner sofa which can be adjusted into a sun lounger, a coffee table, two chairs and side table and a concrete masonry charcoal BBQ. But our favourite spot has to be the sun drenched decked roof terrace, complete with picnic bench and chairs, the perfect spot to relax while the kids and or your four-legged friend to enjoy the expansive rear garden.
