3 Seawhispers has been greatly updated during our clients ownership including extensive double glazing, coloured wood effect fibre cement board cladding which requires no maintenance, decorative refurbishment internally, German electric radiators, a new hot water system and two en-suites. Inside there is a lobby which opens directly into the large living/dining room which is partly under a vaulted ceiling and has enormous amounts of glazing including a roof window and double doors to both the front and rear where they open onto a raised deck facing the sea and a very private courtyard garden. To the side of this is the kitchen and this then has a further door onto the south facing side garden with a slightly raised deck to the front from where on can see Godrevy Lighthouse. A further lobby off the dining area leads to two double bedrooms, both with plenty of character and both with en-suites, with the larger bedroom having an en-suite bathroom whilst the other en-suite is set up as a wc but does have space for a shower to be fitted. The property has been let by our clients through Aspects Holidays and all of the contents are available by separate negotiation to allow a seamless transition for a new owner. These properties are extremely popular with surfers, kite surfers and windsurfers throughout the year as the beach is only 150 yards from the front door and has some of the best conditions of anywhere in the United Kingdom for these sports with various national standard competitions taking place on the beach below. The season is further extended by walkers who enjoy the miles of sand dunes that run from Gwithian Towans all the way to the Hayle estuary mouth in one direction with dramatic clifftops walks from Godrevy Headland to Portreath available in the other. For those looking for a turnkey high quality and well positioned property in Gwithian Towans then Seawhispers should be very appealing. LOCATION Gwithian is a delightful coastal village with its pretty church and pub at its heart, surrounding sand dunes and Cornwall s longest beach on its doorstep. The lifeguard manned arcing sandy coastline of St Ives Bay is the longest uninterrupted stretch of beach in Cornwall and offers countless surfing breaks which between them work in many swell directions. The area is also nationally known as a kite surfing and windsurfing hotspot with many world class
4 talents hailing from the area including a kitesurfing freestyle multiple world champion. The beach and surrounding area is also perfect for more sedate activities with the South West Coast Path leading from the sand dunes, up past Godrevy Lighthouse and over the cliffs, whilst birdwatchers will enjoy the Hayle Estuary and the Lelant Saltings. There are several excellent golf courses nearby with Tehidy being nestled in beautiful woodland and Lelant being one of only two Links courses in Cornwall. Around 20 minutes drive away to the south are Marazion and Penzance which between them offer dinghy racing and yacht sailing in the shadow of the National Trust owned St Michael s Mount. It is a convenient and accessible location with quick access to the A30 expressway which runs throughout Cornwall and links it to the motorway network at Exeter.
