Property information

A stunning contemporary beach house with a hot tub, offering a unique position overlooking the beautiful sandy Hendra Beach. This listing includes the addition of The Love Shack which is a renovated self-contained room with king size bed, a shower room, a small kitchenette, and fabulous sea views. Little Cottage was originally a fifteenth century Fisherman’s cottage overlooking Praa Sands beach, designed by award winning architect Alex Michaelis, and was designed to maximise the incredible sea views from all the living spaces, bedrooms, and bathrooms. Located footsteps away from the ocean, only the garden separates it from the sandy beach and sea. The open plan living space features floor to ceiling windows where you can take in the incredible views while relaxing with a morning coffee. The lovely wood burner ensures cosy evenings in with the family, reflecting on a busy day exploring the coast. Four of the bedrooms have king size beds with incredible sea views and the family room located on the ground floor is furnished with two sets of bunk beds, ideal for children. There are six bathrooms within the property (five of which are en suite) and a separate cloakroom with WC. Outside the garden includes a large patio with seating and fire pit, and direct access to the beach at the bottom of the lawn. There is a hot tub to the side of the house where you can soak, relax, and take in the scenic views. Little Cottage is located within Cornwall’s Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The famous South West Coastal path is very close by where you can take scenic walks to Marazion or Porthleven. Low tide is the perfect time to have a trip to St Michael’s Mount where you can walk across from Marazion and explore the incredible castle and grounds. High tide is a great time to visit Porthleven, seals and dolphins can be spotted along the walk. When at Porthleven, there are a host of terrific restaurants that you can pick from. A 30 minute drive away is St Ives...

Neighbourhood information

Escaping to a Praa Sands holiday cottage will evoke memories of summers gone by. A mile-long stretch of glistening white sand awaits, perfect for sandcastle makers and sun-worshippers alike. The bay is a popular spot for surfers, and families can splash about in the shallows before heading up to one of the beach-based cafes for lunch and an ice-cream. With wonderful views over the coastline on constant display, daytime panoramas feature wide horizons and endless sea, while the evenings offer orange sunsets and pink skies. Whether you choose to pronounce it Pray or Prah, this seaside village with its mile long beach is a lovely place to spend your Cornwall holidays on the coast. Set almost midway between the towns of Penzance and Helston, Praa Sands is within easy reach of all the area’s best bits, and with its own sandy mile stretching across its doorstep, there’s plenty on offer to keep you and the kids entertained during your stay.
