Tonga

A four-bedroom house on the southern edge of the St Agnes Heritage Coast, Tonga sleeps 8 with sea views, a wood burner and a BBQ. Porthtowan beach is 600 metres away - a wide Atlantic-facing surf beach with a beach cafe. The coast path leads 1.5 miles to the engine houses of Wheal Coates Tin Mine, a National Trust landmark visible from the property.

The property is approached via an unmade road. Inside you’ll find reverse-level property and a spacious ground floor that’s flooded with light on bright days. Even in chilly weather, the underfloor heating and wood burner will keep you cosy. On hot days, open the living room’s double set of bifold doors. The hall is a superb space and the ground-floor lounge has some wonderful views, with two lovely, large sofas from which to enjoy them. There are three ground-floor bedrooms: one super-king-size with an en-suite shower room and two twins. The ground-floor bathroom comes with a wonderful, free-standing, roll-top bath. The first floor is a wide, open-plan space with a lounge/kitchen/diner. The kitchen has a large island and the lounge has a wide door that opens to create a balcony space. The super-king-size main bedroom has a wonderful round window looking out over the coastline and ocean, a chaise longue to watch it from and an en-suite bathroom with free-standing roll-top bath and skylight.

Outside there are two patio areas, accessed from the ground and the first floor, with garden furniture and a gas BBQ. The gorgeous lawn is not enclosed. There’s an outside shower for washing away sand.
