An exceptional detached coastal home enjoying panoramic westerly views across Sennen Cove, the Atlantic Ocean and towards the Isles of Scilly and Longships Lighthouse. Completed in 2022, Breakwater offers over 2,500 square feet of beautifully designed accommodation arranged to make the most of its remarkable setting.
The house is approached through a broad reception hall, where a tiled feature wall and bespoke Jo Downs glasswork provide a striking introduction. The accommodation is arranged over split levels, with the principal living spaces positioned to enjoy the finest views.
At the heart of the house is a spectacular 34-foot open-plan kitchen, dining and living space with vaulted ceiling and rooflights above. The German-designed Nolte kitchen is centred around a large island and complemented by Silestone worktops, Miele appliances and a Quooker tap. The living area is arranged around a contemporary Scan wood burner, while large sliding doors open onto a broad balcony and adjoining sun terrace overlooking the coast.
The adjoining sitting room is equally impressive, with a curved bay window and door framing the same dramatic outlook and giving direct access to the balcony. A utility room and cloakroom complete this floor.
The principal bedroom suite is arranged as a private retreat, with en suite facilities, dressing space and a dramatic corner window designed to frame the coastal views and provide direct access to the garden. Three further double bedrooms also enjoy sea views, with two sharing a Jack-and-Jill shower room. A versatile fifth bedroom is served by a spacious family bathroom with both a freestanding bath and walk-in shower.
On the ground floor, a large cinema and games room offers further flexibility and an excellent space for entertaining, together with a walk-in store, plant room and comms room.
The landscaped gardens have been designed for ease of maintenance and to make the most of the setting, with tiered terraces, lawned areas, a bespoke curved seating area, hot tub terrace, outdoor shower room and useful storage. A secure electric gated forecourt provides parking for numerous vehicles and includes an EV charging point.
Breakwater occupies a particularly desirable position within Sennen Cove, one of West Cornwall’s most admired coastal villages. The beach, harbour and Old Success Inn are all within easy reach, with a footpath leading directly down from Maria’s Lane.
Sennen lies within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and is renowned for its sweeping sandy beach, excellent surf and picturesque harbour, which remains home to a small fishing fleet. Gwynver Beach and the South West Coast Path are also close by, making the area ideal for walking, beach life and watersports.
Penzance lies around nine miles to the east and provides a mainline rail connection to London Paddington, while nearby attractions include Land’s End, the Minack Theatre, Cape Cornwall, Mousehole and St Michael’s Mount.
The landscaped gardens have been thoughtfully designed for low-maintenance elegance, featuring tiered terraces that make the most of the breathtaking coastal views.
The rear gardens are mostly laid to lawn and feature a bespoke curved seating area—perfect for alfresco dining, evening drinks, or simply admiring the spectacular sunsets. A hot tub adds an extra touch of luxury and indulgence, while practical features such as a very useful outdoor shower room with wetsuit drying, storage room, and undercroft reduced height storage space ensure the property is as functional as it is stylish.
A secure electric gated forecourt provides parking for numerous vehicles, complete with an EV charging point, ensuring both convenience and sustainability.
