About this property

Henscath House's characterful and spacious design perfectly caters for family and friends

Perched atop the breathtaking Mullion Cove, soak up cliff top ocean vistas from this exquisite family retreat. Boasting five boutique bedrooms, all with their own balcony utilising far reaching sea views, two luxuriously cosy sitting rooms, a dining hall, study, yoga studio, cedar hot tub and two luscious gardens, Henscath House's characterful and spacious design perfectly caters for family and friends wishing to create cherished memories in a desired location.

Welcoming up to 10 guests and your four-legged travel companion, this beautifully presented home takes luxury living to a new level, with every detail thoughtfully considered and ultimate comfort promised. The entrance hall provides a cloak and boot room before you step into the exquisite dining hall. Bi-fold glass doors invite natural light into this awe-inspiring space, while also allowing direct access to the vast slate paved sun terrace. Special moments ignite around the large dining table, where you can gather as a family for those much-anticipated get-togethers. There is a separate cloakroom just off the dining hall, complete with a WC and wash basin.

The sociable open-plan kitchen, dining and sitting area is an inviting spot to prep family dinners. The kitchen is superbly equipped with everything you'll need during your stay including; a characterful electric aga, electric oven, Nespresso coffee machine, fridge, dishwasher, Belfast sink and a central island. There is also a dining table, with seating for 8 guests positioned perfectly to further enjoy unbeatable views across the luscious garden, rolling cliff tops and dramatic ocean scenery. The semi-open plan snug boasts a sumptuous corner sofa, television and a selection of books for you to indulge in. The scullery sits across from the kitchen. This spacious room houses plenty of worktop space, a fridge/freezer, microwave, sink, washer, dryer, clothes airer and an additional dishwasher, oh and can you find the mini wine bar? There is also a door leading outside where you will find an outdoor shower, perfect for washing off wetsuits and sandy paws.

Head to the other end of the corridor where the sumptuous sitting room awaits, here you are invited to curl up beside the roaring wood burning stove after a day of exploring. There are two comfy three seater sofas and four plush armchairs, two are positioned directly in front of the large picture windows, making the perfect spot for morning coffee, sheltered from stormy seas. Next to the sitting room, you will find the superb study, and opposite sits the wonderful yoga studio with floor to ceiling mirrors, sink with vanity draw and an en-suite shower room. Bedroom five completes the ground floor, a lovely space with 3' twin single beds and an en-suite shower room with rainfall shower, wash basin and WC.

Retreat upstairs to discover four boutique bedrooms boasting their own bath/shower rooms, balconies and unique character. Bedroom one resides at the end of the corridor, this delightful principal suite boasts a sumptuous king-size bed, plenty of storage space with built-in wardrobes, a dressing area and shutters opening to the balcony with slate tiled flooring, from which one can enjoy enchanting views across Mullion Cove towards miles of open sea. The en-suite bathroom is beautifully appointed with a freestanding roll top bath with shower head attachment, a walk-in shower cubicle with rainfall shower head, wash basin, WC, heated towel rail and a small balcony. Bedroom two and three both host comfy king size beds, small balconies and sleek en-suite shower rooms. Bedroom four comes complete with a king size zip and link bed, which can be converted to twin single beds, on request. Opposite, sits the family bathroom with a freestanding roll top bath with shower head attachment, wash basin, WC and two Velux skylights overlooking the rear garden.

The magic and elegance of this wonderful home only continues outside. The bubbling cedar hot tub is a special feature, and invites you to relax and unwind under twinkling starlight. The vast south-facing slate paved sun terrace stretches across the front of Henscath House and can be accessed from the dining hall, kitchen and sitting room. It houses a large table, perfect for balmy summer evenings dining as a family. The barbecue tempts family feasts and there's two wall-mounted electric patio heaters, so you can stay cosy outside until the moon and stars appear. Steps lead down to the large lawned garden with an array of wonderful plants, gently sloping to a wild area with meandering pathways and hedgy borders for ultimate privacy. At the bottom of the garden is a small wooden gate which provides easy access down to Mullion Cove from the road. The garden also has the delight of a circular pavilion seating area, an idyllic spot for breakfast or afternoon tea as the ocean glistens beyond.

Henscath House also has a wonderful rear garden behind the spacious gravel driveway. It boasts mature hedging, plants and trees on its borders, several vegetable patches and a greenhouse. You are more than welcome to pick vegetables and herbs from the garden for your own use. The friendly gardener visits Henscath House once a week and is more than happy to advise on the vegetables. The handy outdoor shower is perfect for washing sand off after the beach and there is a storage space just around the side of the house for wetsuits, paddleboards etc. If you can tear yourself away from this special retreat, you have the delights of Mullion Cove, Polurrian Beach and Poldhu Beach just a stone's throw away.
