<p>A top-quality home in Carbis Bay with a stylish reverse-level layout, this four-bedroom holiday property sets you up for a memorable Cornish trip with friends and loved ones. Once you’ve settled in, take your buckets and spades down to your local sandy beach (0.5 miles) for an afternoon of kayaking, swimming and paddleboarding. Another great option is to take the scenic 2-mile walk along the coastal path to St Ives, where art enthusiasts can admire masterpieces at the Tate Modern before tucking into a slap-up meal in a seafood restaurant. </p><p>The house’s architecture, which combines reclaimed local stone and cedar cladding, is likely to impress from the outset. Its reverse-level design ensures you can make the most of the lovely vistas, since you’ll spend most of your time up the top. In the spacious living area, full-length panoramic windows and vaulted ceilings create a bright, spacious interior. A generously sized kitchen invites eager chefs to do their thing – whether that’s preparing picnics or preparing multi-course dinners for the group. In the dining area, enjoy prolonged family gatherings that go late into the evening. As well as the lovely lounge area, you’ll have an additional snug, equipped with a Smart TV and games. At night, choose from two super-king size bedrooms, both with en-suite shower rooms, and two welcoming twins, served by the family bathroom. Outside, the elegant sun deck is an oasis for relaxation, with outdoor furniture, a gas BBQ and an 8-seater picnic table. </p><p>If you’ve got nature lovers in your party, pack some binoculars and head to the Hayle Estuary RSPB sanctuary for some birdwatching. Cultural explorers will be keen to visit the Barbara Hepworth Museum and Sculpture Garden (2 miles away) or make the journey to Godrevy Lighthouse (9 miles), the inspiration behind Virginia Woolfe's famous novel.</p>
