Boak Villa

Cradled into the hillside above the charming fishing village of Coverack, Boak Villa boasts a sunny disposition and offers some of the most spectacular sea views you'll find anywhere along the Cornish coast. Gaze across the harbour and out over the endless blue - a view that changes with the tides and never fails to take your breath away.

Beautifully designed with innovative flair and imagination, this remarkable home takes its inspiration from the sea itself. Cleverly crafted to echo the shape of a boat, Boak Villa features porthole windows in the downstairs bedrooms and a kitchen that curves like the bow of a ship. Standing at the helm - or rather, the kitchen - you'll feel as though you're setting sail across the bay, with floor-to-ceiling windows wrapping around you and the horizon stretching ahead.

Inside, the villa is warm and inviting, with an open plan living area at its heart. The generous windows flood the space with natural light, drawing the sea view into every corner. On cooler days, a wood-burning stove brings a cosy glow, and when the sun is shining, you can step straight out onto the balcony to breathe in the ocean air. The kitchen is fully equipped, and the dining-table is perfect for slow breakfasts or hearty holiday feasts.

The three cosy bedrooms are spread across two levels, and each has its own distinct charm. Downstairs, one double room features an en suite WC and basin and playful nautical porthole windows. The adjacent twin room has its own private bathroom. Upstairs, a peaceful double bedroom opens onto a balcony, perfect for morning coffee with the dawn chorus and the waves rolling in.

Boak Villa is a joy in every season. In summer, the coast path calls and the sea sparkles below; in autumn, the landscape glows with rich colour, and the beaches are quiet. Winter brings dramatic skies and storm-watching opportunities from the warmth of your fireside perch, while spring returns with a burst of colourful flowers you will find nowhere else in the UK, and glorious birdsong.
