Kernow House

This superb retreat makes a luxurious base for large families or groups of friends of up to 14 seeking a blend of coastal adventure and rural tranquillity. Positioned inland on the fringes of the quaint hamlet of Tredrizzick, between Rock, 2 miles, and Polzeath, 2.5 miles, the property offers easy access to golden sands, water sports and the scenic coastal path.

Spend days sunbathing, swimming, building sandcastles or exploring rock pools, and evenings trying out vibrant bars and excellent eateries. From Rock you can take a short ferry trip across to Padstow and wander the shops and seafood dining options, or you could drive to Wadebridge, 5 miles, and hire bikes to pedal along the traffic-free Camel Trail.

Tee off at St Enodoc golf course, 2 miles, or head to the picturesque fishing village of Port Isaac for a taste of Cornish culture and yet more high-quality restaurants. Hidden away at the end of a quiet lane, this idyllic gem is a double-fronted, detached house designed for both fuss-free practicality and blissful comfort.

Step up and in through the front door, hang your coats in the cupboard, and explore the glorious interior, full of carefully curated furnishings and co-ordinated colours. The heart of the home is an expansive farmhouse-style kitchen, featuring slate flagstones, granite worktops, a Belfast sink and a six-oven Range cooker.

This room flows into the dining area where there’s a huge table ideal for entertaining, positioned by the garden doors for verdant views. A handy utility room complements this space.

Stroll through to the impressive lounge, with its statement wood burner and bar area with a fridge and wine fridge. This is the perfect place to gather for sociable evenings, perhaps listening to music on the Sonos Hi-Fi system or streaming movies on the Smart TV.
