About this property

Step inside this gorgeous retreat where upside down living takes full advantage of the sea views.

Sundown is a stunning and contemporary, reverse level detached house approached via a private driveway, with sea views and within less than five minutes walking distance of Widemouth Beach.

Widemouth Bay is a huge sandy beach, perfect for the whole family. Great for building sandcastles and rock pooling or for the more adventurous why not try your hand at some surfing and water sports. There is a beach cafe and guests can enjoy this area of coastline at any time of the year. Nearby is the popular seaside town of Bude, home to numerous surf shops, cafes and galleries. Here you will find another fabulous family beach, home to one of Cornwall's iconic Lido pools set in the rocks. Sundown is in the perfect location for those travelling to Cornwall from far and wide in the United Kingdom; Widemouth Bay sits right on the border of Cornwall and Devon, making it one of the easiest destinations to holiday at in Cornwall.

Step inside this gorgeous retreat where upside down living takes full advantage of the sea and countryside views. Three of the four comfortable bedrooms are on the ground floor, as is the cosy snug with its bean bag seating and access to the lawned garden and terrace. Head outside for a barbecue or even a game of table tennis, it's all here for you to enjoy.

Open-tread stairs lead up to the first floor, where the spacious open-plan living area is light and airy and extremely well equipped. Open the french windows and stand at either of the two Juliet balconies, the perfect place to take in the fresh air and the views to the sea at nearby Widemouth Bay. The kitchen area has everything you will need and more, modern appliances including a range induction hob, integrated dishwasher, electric double oven, fridge and freezer, microwave and coffee maker. Oh, and let's not forget the huge Dualit toaster! The piece de resistance is the stunning en-suite master bedroom with its Juliet balcony, comfortable king-size bed, television and its own stylish bathroom which houses a gorgeous slipper bath, have a soak after a hot day on the beach or, out of season, after a long walk along the coast. All of the bedrooms are stylish and comfortable with two boasting zip-and-link beds and all with luxury linens and towels.

Outside is a lawn to the front and rear with garden furniture and barbecue facilities along with an external shower and ample parking.

A holiday at Sundown is all you could wish for and more.

Great location with a lovely view
Living area was great, wonderful views and plenty of space. Easy walk to the beach. Would have preferred proper showers rather than wet rooms but can't complain we all thoroughly enjoyed staying there with lovely comfy beds.

Great house in a good location
This is an excellent property. It is beautifully presented and is located 5 mins walk from the beach at Widemouth Bay. It is very spacious with a garden. It has everything you need to enjoy a lovely holiday. We loved staying here. The views of the beach from the upstairs of the house were great. The only negative was that there was no sign with the house name so we struggled to find it when we first arrived. We would definitely stay here again as the house was so clean & well equipped & ideally located for the beach & beach walks.

A perfect house in fantastic location. We had a lovely family holiday here. This house has everything you could need for a perfect week by the beach. Great size bedrooms, plenty of storage, great out door space, all modern conveniences and a stones throw from the beach.

Great house and location.
I am in contact with C.H.over a number of things. The black refuse bin was filled to the brim when we arrived on the Saturday and it was us who had to drag it down the lane for collection. We were not told that recycling was fortnightly. There was no “welcome pack” (supposedly bread, milk etc) which we had to venture out and buy. Although the kitchen was beautifully equipped, there were no casserole dishes. In view of the current covid problem we intended to eat in more often than eating out.

Beautiful house, ideal location
We enjoyed a fabulous week at Sundown in August. 5mins walk from the beach, outside shower to wash down the wetsuits after surfing, very comfortable furnishings and a view of the sea to top it all off. The kids loved playing table tennis in the garage and we had a few lunches outside grabbing the sun when it came out!
