First Floor: master bedroom with shower and wc off, 3 further bedrooms, bathroom, all with vaulted ceilings.

DESCRIPTION Atlantic House was built in 2005 to an individual design with contemporary architectural aspects to form a particularly good looking house. From the front there are views over a superb contemporary house, across Whitesand Bay to Cape Cornwall and out over the Atlantic ocean as well as to the beach especially at lower states of tide. The beach itself and
3 Sennen Cove are a short walk away down a path off Marias Lane but unlike the majority of properties lower down the hill Atlantic House has off-road parking for 2-3 cars, two sea facing terraces and a level easily maintained lawned garden of a surprising good size. Inside the house has been designed with a pleasing flow so that one can see from the front door all the way through the centre of the house to the sitting room s fireplace at the far end through pairs of glazed doors. The house has a beachy feel with tiled flooring throughout the ground floor and floorboards on the first floor but retains warmth and character with high painted beamed ceilings. The kitchen has crisp white units under granite worktops and both this room and the sitting room enjoy a triple aspect outlook helping to fill the house with light. There is a shower room on the ground floor, four bedrooms and a bathroom on the first floor and of these the master bedroom has its own shower and separate wc. Atlantic House is currently holiday let through Classic Cottages but would also make an ideal main home in this very special village close to Land s End.
4 LOCATION Sennen Cove is the furthest westerly village on the mainland of the United Kingdom and overlooks the 1½ mile wide Whitesand Bay, which is backed by sand dunes, cliffs and heath land. The beach is home to surfers, kite surfers and wind surfers and fishing boats, along with small sailing boats launch from behind the protected harbour wall. The village is one of Cornwall s most beautiful and has various local shops, galleries, grocery stores, a post office, a pub and restaurants. At the top of the hill, at Sennen village, is a primary school and there is also secondary education at nearby St Just and private educational facilities in Penzance. Between St Just and Penzance there is a full range of facilities, shops and professional services, with Penzance having a hospital and also the rail terminus for the Penzance to Paddington main line. The area surrounding Sennen Cove is some of Cornwall s most rugged and beautiful with fantastic walks along the South West Coast Path over National Trust owned headlands. About a mile away is Land s End and there are many smaller coves and beaches to explore nearby. To the south is Pothcurno and the Minack open air theatre set above the sea, whilst the pretty harbour village of Mousehole and the wooded valley of Lamorna are both nearby.
