Throwing open your curtains each morning to a sea view would top most people’s property wish list, so just imagine being able to pull back your curtains to reveal awe-inspiring views over one of Cornwall’s best surfing beaches – now that is the stuff of dreams.
On the market at a guide price of £2,500,000, the fabulous Four Winds is a recently completed, contemporary beach house that is as stunning as its location.
Occupying an incredible frontline position and commanding panoramic south westerly views over the golden sands of Hendra beach, far along the south Cornish coastline and out to sea, the spacious four-bedroom home is the kind of property that is often sought but seldom found.

Virtually brand new, Four Winds was re-built – retaining one wall of the original structure – remodelled and extended in 2002 to create a stunning coastal home with every room enjoying panoramic sea and coastal views.
Built of traditional block, cavity and steel construction under a natural slate roof, the property features Douglas fir roof trusses, attractive cream rendered elevations, and eco-features including insulation, central heating via an air source heat pump, underfloor heating to both floors, and a 22kW car charging point.
Not only does this Praa Sands house have mod cons and panoramic views, it also sits on a circa half acre garden plot with an enviable south westerly aspect ensuring direct sunlight from first light to the last rays of the setting sun.
Accessed towards the end of an adopted no-through lane, with a parking area for three to four cars, the house is entered through a welcoming entrance vestibule which opens into a vast open-plan main reception space.
The living and dining room features a full wall of full-height glazed double doors and windows with incredible sea views beyond. To the corner of the room, a contemporary wood-burning stove is set on a slate hearth, and there is space for easy chairs and sofas, as well as a 10-seat dining table.
The open vaulted ceilings above with exposed roof trusses add to the feeling of space with extra light coming from high level self-closing Velux windows. There are built-in Bowers and Wilkins speakers, oak flooring throughout, and electric Duo blinds.
Next to the living space but separated by a glass wall with two-part frosted frameless glass doors is the kitchen. This combined with the living space creates a main reception area of more than 50ft in length.
Fitted with an array of duck egg blue bespoke units with polished granite worksurfaces and a polished granite breakfast bar, the kitchen also boasts a range of Neff integrated appliances, a five-ring induction hob, built-in dishwasher, a wine fridge and a large American-style fridge/freezer.
The main reception space opens onto a broad balcony with a frameless plate glass balustrade, perfect for barbecues and alfresco dining. Completing the first floor is a useful office, a cloakroom, and a magnificent principal bedroom suite which has fitted wardrobes, an en suite, and its own door onto the first-floor balcony.
The lower ground floor of the house comprises three large double bedroom suites, two with en-suite bath and shower rooms, the other with a large en-suite shower room. Completing the ground floor is a cloakroom and a games room or second sitting room, which currently houses a full-sized pool table and bar area with windows and doors overlooking and opening out onto a rear veranda and sun terrace beyond.
Coming off the house, the veranda is perfect for all-weather outdoor entertaining. A further terrace, that is generously sized and has a frameless plate glass balustrade providing shelter from coastal winds, hosts a hot tub and offers space for loungers and garden furniture.
A pathway descends through flowerbeds and borders to a gently sloping lawned garden culminating in a fabulous lower sun terrace with panoramic views over the sea and beach below.
Four Winds is to be sold with immediate vacant possession, no onward chain and can be bought turn key with all fixtures, fittings and furnishings included, subject to further negotiation. To find out more, contact Lillicrap Chilcott on 01872 273473.
