Pooh Corner

  The Detail...

Recently refurbished, Pooh Corner has the air of a property that has been rejuvenated with love and devotion. There has been a clear directive to ensure that the property compliments the heavenly location of this stretch of the Cornish coastline.

As soon as you get out of the car you are greeted with the gorgeous panoramic sea view of Praa Sands beach. You’ll be struck by how white the sand is, almost blinding in the sunshine. Apparently, and here’s the science, the light sand is made from seashells that have been pulverised by wave action over millions of years.

Access to the property is via a sloping pathway through the classic front garden up to the entrance. The open plan kitchen/diner/lounge is brightly furnished and contains an array of handmade Cornish art by local artist Gilly Johns. The whole space is the perfect area to relax and enjoy a meal after a day out at the beach or exploring the treasure trove that is the South Cornwall coast. The well equipped kitchen includes two fridges, electric oven and hob, washing machine and tumble dryer, and solid wood dining table and chairs. This space leads round to the lounge which has comfy sofas, a 44" Smart TV, a woodburner and patio doors to make the most of the sea view. Off the kitchen is the shower room with a separate shower cubicle, basin, WC and heated towel rail.

The hallway has storage for outdoor gear and leads to the family bathroom and two of the bedrooms, the single bedroom (single bed) and double bedroom (king size bed), it is worth mentioning that sea views come as standard for bedrooms in this property, allowing for a moment of tranquility as you begin your day. A flight of stairs leads up to the other two double bedrooms, one with a kingsize bed and one with a superking zip and link bed (which can be made up as two singles upon request). The array of bedrooms make this a perfect retreat for families and adult groups alike.

Outside there is an area to wash your wetsuits after a day on the surf and the old outhouse at the rear of the property has been converted to provide a hanging area to dry them. The rear garden is accessed via steep steps up the side of the house and leads back round to the front of the house. The front patio yields the most stunning of sea views out to sea across Praa Sands beach and has a charcoal BBQ along with table and chairs made from recycled plastic bottles!

Praa Sands is a long, sandy beach as well as a picturesque village situated between Porthleven and Penzance. It is a popular destination for most of the year and if watersports are your forte you will be hard pressed to find a better location in the whole of the UK. The village boasts a great cafe, pub and fish and chip shop close to the water's edge. Essential surfing gear can be purchased from the surfing outlet on the outskirts of the village as well as other beach supplies to maximise the enjoyment during your stay.

For the keen walkers amongst your group, the property is situated next to the coastal path and there are miles of countryside and coast to be appreciated as you revel in the sublime and unique environments that are only to be found in the south west tip of the UK.
