Striking 5-bed contemporary house that epitomises luxury coastal living. Designed to maximise its extraordinary setting and breathtaking sea views, this architectural triumph has been crafted with passion and meticulous attention to detail. With sweeping, panoramic westerly views over the golden sands of Sennen Cove and out to the Atlantic Ocean, the outlook stretches as far as the Isles of Scilly and Longships Lighthouse. Its westerly aspect also ensures some of the most spectacular sunsets imaginable. Completed in 2022, this magnificent property extends to over 2,500 square feet, showcasing the finest in modern design. Vast expanses of glass frame the scenery, while thoughtfully curated living spaces seamlessly connect the indoors with the stunning coastal surroundings.
Upon arrival, a broad reception hall makes an immediate impression with its striking tiled feature wall and bespoke Jo Downs glasswork, setting the tone for the refined coastal elegance that flows throughout. Arranged over split levels, the predominantly reversed living accommodation is expansive and effortlessly connected.
The spectacular 34-foot-long, fully open-plan triple aspect kitchen, dining, and living area features an impressive vaulted ceiling with skylight windows that flood the room with natural light. The sleek, German-designed Nolte kitchen—complete with a large feature island, stylish Silestone worktops, premium Miele appliances, and a Quooker tap—is as beautiful as it is functional. The living area is centred around a contemporary Scan wood burner.
Two sets of large sliding doors frame the ever-changing coastal backdrop and open onto the three-quarter-width balcony, which seamlessly connects to an adjacent sun terrace, which also in turn leads down to the rear garden and hot tub terrace, further enhancing the home's effortless indoor-outdoor flow.
The adjoining sitting room is an exquisite space, perfect for both entertaining and quiet contemplation. This generous 14' x 13'5" room features a striking curved bay window with six glazed panels and a door, capturing the finest westerly sea views and mesmerising sunsets. It also opens onto the three-quarter width rear balcony, creating an outdoor link to the kitchen and living room too. A well-equipped utility room and WC complete this floor, and add to the home’s practicality.
The principal bedroom suite is a spacious and private sanctuary, boasting a luxurious en suite and a well-proportioned dressing area with built-in wardrobes. A stunning floor-to-ceiling, five-panel corner window and door have been designed to frame the breathtaking coastal views, as well as give access to the garden. Three additional sea-view double bedrooms are impeccably appointed, with two sharing a stylish Jack-and-Jill en suite shower room. The fourth and versatile fifth bedroom share a spacious family bathroom, which has both a freestanding bath and walk-in double shower.
The ground floor also features a large cinema and games room—an exceptional and flexible entertainment space. With direct garden access, it’s ideal for family gatherings or immersive movie nights. There is also a lockable walk-in store room, a plant room and comms room.
Designed and finished to an exceptional standard both inside and out, the property benefits from state-of-the-art Daikin air-source heating, providing underfloor heating throughout. Premium aluminium windows and larch cladding enhance both the durability and contemporary style, while integrated Lithe sound systems provide entertainment. There is also superfast broadband available.

Breakwater enjoys an enviable position on one of West Cornwall’s most prestigious and sought-after residential addresses. Sennen is an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and the unspoilt beaches of Sennen Cove and Gwynver are just a short stroll away, offering the perfect setting for family beach days, world-class surfing, and breathtaking coastal walks.
