Harber Rise

Harber Rise is a lovely reverse-level house in Carlyon Bay, Cornwall.

Offering far-reaching sea views and plenty of space for families and friends to gather near the coast.

Arrive at the end of the private lane, park the car in the ample off-road parking and take in your surroundings before stepping inside to begin your stay.

Enter on the ground floor, where the bedrooms offer somewhere to settle in before heading upstairs to admire the views.

Choose between three double bedrooms, with the principal bedroom opening directly onto the terrace, perfect for stepping outside into the fresh Cornish air first thing in the morning.

This generous bedroom with en-suite bathroom, where you can sink into the freestanding bath after a day on the coast or freshen up beneath the separate rainfall shower.

The separate shower room is on hand for a refreshing start before setting off for the day.

Climb to the first floor and discover the vibrant heart of Harber Rise, where pink hues bring character to an expansive open-plan kitchen, dining and sitting area overlooking the bay.

Take your pick from two sofas or the recliner armchairs and let the sea views command your attention, or switch on the wall-mounted TV for an easy-going evening together.

When cooler weather draws in, light the woodburning stove and relax after your latest Cornish adventure.

The contemporary kitchen features sleek white fixtures and sits alongside the living space, with a central island creating an attractive focal point.

Put the oven and hob to good use preparing dinner, keep ingredients fresh in the fridge and start slow mornings with the kettle and toaster close at hand.

Once everything is ready, gather around the stylish wooden dining table, thoughtfully positioned to take advantage of the views across the bay as you eat, talk and plan the following day's adventures.

When the Cornish sunshine beckons, head back outside to make the most of the large garden, where a patio and lawned area provide space to spend time in the open air.

The beach is less than a mile away, making days beside the sea easy to include in your plans, while the pub is also less than a mile from the house and the nearest shop is around a mile away.

Venture into nearby St Austell and spend an afternoon discovering this part of Cornwall, or travel further to Truro, where you can admire the eye-catching cathedral, wander through Victoria Gardens and explore the city during a day away from the coast.

The Cornwall area is also home to abundant coastal scenery, giving you plenty of opportunities to combine days by the sea with trips further afield.

After your adventures, return to Harber Rise in Carlyon Bay, pour a drink on the patio or head upstairs and settle into a recliner as the sea views provide a fitting backdrop to the end of another Cornish day.
