To complete the ground floor accommodation, a snug makes an ideal children’s playroom with a door in one corner opening to a second enclosed staircase.  From the hall, a wooden turning staircase leads up to the first floor where there are five simply furnished bedrooms and two bathrooms with W.C.’s, one with a shower over the bath

There are two double bedrooms with 5ft beds, a twin bedroom with a concealed staircase leading down to the snug, a bunk bedroom with sturdy 3ft pine bunks and a small children’s room with a 2ft 6in single bed and a glimpse of the sea.  Care is needed throughout the property as there are low beams, doorways and headroom on the staircase. 

There is a large, sheltered and landscaped garden to the rear with wide lawns, shrubs and hedges; the garden is enclosed when the garage is closed.  An outbuilding provides a useful laundry area, with garden W.C. and shower facilities and there is a drive-through garage (clearance 6ft 6in high x 7ft 6in wide) which leads to a slate-chipped parking area with space for 3 cars

There is a seasonal beach shop 2 minutes’ walk away, a café/restaurant at the top of the hill and Trebetherick village store and newsagent less than half a mile away.  Daymer Bay is an all year dog friendly beach; at low tide the sand stretches as far south as Rock where a foot ferry operates to the harbour town of Padstow
