About this listing
DESCRIPTION
Completed in 2010, the property was newly built by the current owners to exacting standards and to absolutely maximise its position overlooking Whitesands Bay at Sennen. Discreetly tucked into the landscape as you look out to sea, Top Cottage is a new-build with sustainability at it's heart; featuring solar equipment that supplies hot water, and a living roof, planted with native wildflowers and grasses that provide additional, natural insulation.
Inside the cottage, much attention has been given to maximising natural light and clever use of the space on offer to ensure practicality and comfort with a most splendid view down to the cove and the sea. The open-plan living space has an impressively spec'd kitchen/diner with integrated appliances at one end, with a sitting room area at the other. The space flows out to a patio terrace with glass balustrading where you can watch the white sands of Sennen disappear and reappear as the turquoise sea swells and retreats.
There are two double bedrooms; both dual aspect with a modern and well-equipped shower room completing the accommodation; all accessed off a spacious hallway that offers an airing cupboard and a second large built-in storage cupboard with plumbing for laundry appliances.
The outdoor space to the front is an enclosed, south-facing patio garden that offers a more private escape—sheltered from the wind and bathed in sunlight for most of the day. An outdoor heated shower is perfect for rinsing off after a swim or surf, and steps outside the gate lead you down to the beach and cove when you fancy another dip in the sea.
The cottage comes with one private parking space.
Whether you're looking for a turnkey investment or a tranquil seaside home, Top Cottage delivers comfort, sustainability, and stunning views in one of Cornwall’s most desirable locations.
