Tucked away in a secluded cul de sac in the coastal village of Polzeath in Cornwall, is this delightful three-bedroom detached house, Northern Lights.
Enjoying an all-ground layout, a private balcony and easy access via a footpath opposite the house to Polzeath’s glorious beach, Northern Lights makes for a fantastic coastal getaway for a family of six or group of friends.
Park up in the off-road parking space on the private driveway, with additional spaces available on-street, before unloading your bags and stepping into your new holiday home.
Be welcomed into the open-plan living space, and look forward to soaking up the last of the day’s sunshine out on the balcony.
Retreat to the sofas in the sitting room once it cools and snuggle up in front of your favourite film on the Smart TV.
In winter bask in the glow and warmth of the wood burning stove.
Prepare meals in the well-equipped kitchen, with electric oven and hob, electric Rayburn, microwave and dishwasher, before gathering around the dining table for six to tuck-in.
On warmer days, why not make dinner an alfresco occasion and sit out on the rear patio, (outside sofa and deckchairs) where you can fire up the charcoal barbecue and treat your guests to grilled delights!
Enjoy the modern bathroom with bath, shower and underfloor heating while your towel warms on the heated towel rail.
At the end of the day retire to one of three bedrooms, a double, and two twins.
There is a hot outside shower awaiting your return from surfing adventures and you can also take advantage of the handy external utility room, which houses a washing machine and tumble dryer.
There is a clothes line perfect for drying off swimsuits and towels after a day at the beach!
Head just up the hill to the Oystercatcher pub for a tasty bite to eat, here you can expect fresh seafood and a relaxed dining experience with the option of alfresco, perfect for those evenings when you’d rather skip the kitchen.
