About this property

Modern 5 Bedroom House, Large Private Pool, Private Garden, and Sea View

"Beam Reach" was built in 1970 by an architect for his family. It looks as stylish & modern today as the day it was built. There's lots of mid-century touches.

OUTSIDE -- Almost an acre of lush garden, with a private large heated Pool. The garden is fully fenced and very private, and the pool area is fenced separately for safety. There are two patios directly outside the house - the upper patio from the living room looks over the garden and over tree-tops out to sea, the lower next to the kitchen is more shelter with views of the garden and a perfect spot dining.
The front of the house is also enclosed with gates & hedges for privacy. There's ample parking for multiple cars, and more parking on the street without parking restrictions.

INSIDE -- The house is upside down to make the most of the views. It's 3 levels, with a half staircase between each.
The upper level has an oversize Living Room with patio doors to the upper patio with amazing views. There are three seating areas, great for large groups or extended family.

The entry level has the dining kitchen, separate dining room, large hallway, plus one bedroom with en-suite bathroom. There's also an additional WC.
The kitchen is fully equipped with everything you need for the perfect holiday; including range cooker, dishwasher and American style fridge-freeze. The dining room comfortably seats 10 people.
For the first master bedroom (on the entry level) you can choose either one Super-king bed or 2 single beds. It's en-suite bathroom is a fully tiled wet-room with walk in shower.

The lower level has the 2nd master bedroom with en-suite, 3 more bedrooms, the family bathroom, and the utility room with washer & dryer.
The 2nd Master Bedroom has a 6 foot super-king bed and en-suite. Third Bedroom has 5 foot king-size bed. Fourth Bedroom has two 3 foot single beds (or one 6ft super-king bed). Fifth Bedroom has two single beds - recommended for children. Family Bathroom is fully tiled with illuminated mirror, and a shower over the bathtub.

NEARBY --Beautiful location close to the Sea and South West Coastal Path. The Beach and a luxury hotel with Spar and Golf Course are within 10 minutes walk. The Coast Path runs east along the cliffs for miles to Par and beyond. To the west, the path drops gently along the edges of fields to Georgetown's historic village harbour, around 20 minutes walk. IN THE AREA -- The Eden Project with the worlds largest indoor Rain-forest is 15 minutes drive. St Austell town centre has a large shopping area and parking about 10 minutes drive. The coastline has dramatic cliffs and sheltered bays, some with charming villages, others with beautiful beaches. In-land there are the moors, dramatic views of old tin mines, and endless possibilities for keen walkers.

Week in Cornwall

Ok but felt welcome pack could have been better with just a small amount of money. We have stayed in other similar places in Cornwall and Devon and have had better welcomes with homely vases of flowers, sometimes scones, jam and cream. The house lacks finishing touches and is all blue and white and dare I say it needs a “woman’s touch”. The stairs down to the bedrooms needs some attention! The garden and pool were lovely although we did not see a pool attendant all week.

Superb holiday

We just had a fantastic weeks holiday with family and friends, and dogs at this lovely house. The garden and swimming pool were superb with a lovely sea view pleasant 10 minute walk to the beach and as a bonus was dog friendly this year. We would recommend it as a fantastic holiday and hope to go back again. David our host was extremely helpful and provided all the information we needed. Lovely and clean and plenty of room for everyone. Thank you to everyone involved in making this a fantastic holiday.

Second time we stayed

We stayed here in 2020 and loved the location/house/grounds/pool, we came back again for our 2022 holiday. We had slight issue with boiler but David was really good getting the plumbers straight out and getting it fixed. The grounds are lovely, the kids had so much free reign, its all encased in so they can't get out. The pool was used twice a day every day, we had a thunderstorm and it didn't stop us. The house layout is brilliant, plenty of space for everyone to congregate together in the big rooms but enough rooms you can also have space to be away from each other. Carlyon Bay lovely, nice 10 min walk to Charlestown, 10 min drive to Pentewen and our favourite place in the world Lelant Beach in Hayle, about an hours drive but that beach you could be anywhere in the world. Supermarket 2 mins down the road, we booked a home delivery shopping for the day we arrived. Sure we will be back to this house as we love it so much

Luxury holiday in Cornwall

Beam Reach has everything you could want from a holiday rental. The gardens are stunning as is the view across Carlyon Bay. We were able to spend time in the pool every day thanks to the owner keeping it at 29C. Bedrooms and kitchen fantastically equipped. Highly recommended.

Fabulous Week !

Great time spent in Cornwall. House was dated and not as clean as I would have liked on arrival, but I do like cleaning so wasn't too bothered to have a spruce round. Kids loved the pool and gardener was a lovely gentleman. Location was perfect for beach and some georgous resturants in near by Charleston. Would definitely stay here again.

All you could want from a holiday home - great location, amazing views, large well maintained property. The pool is huge …the kids didn’t want to leave. The grounds are also huge for the location. Also dog friendly…our Labrador loved it! David was very good with the comms providing all the info we needed. We will be back and I’d highly recommend!

House is wonderful, spacious , great views and fitted with every gadget you could possibly want. Garden is large and very well maintained. We couldn’t keep the children away from the large heated pool. Long sandy beach only 5 minutes walk away. Owner David couldn’t have been more helpful.

I literally have nothing bad to say about this place. Everything about it was beautiful. I stayed here with my mum, fiancé and our two dogs, we all loved it. Plenty of grass area for the dogs to run around, heated pool was used everyday. We met the gardeners who were lovely friendly gentlemen, they've made the garden stunning!

About the host

Hosted by David Watson

Host profile image
'Beam Reach' has been our wonderful holiday home since 2001.
The nieces & nephews, our parents, brother and sisters have had many years of wonderful holidays here.
Although we live in London, the family is spread across England, and some of them now live abroad.
The kids are now all grown up, but we still meet up here in sunny Cornwall especially in the winter (it is the warmest part of Britain!).
We love the big rooms, and it's a great house for all the generations together.
We can spend all day hanging about the pool (and summers seem longer here), but we've also planted the gardens to be lush and colourful year round.
We extended the house in late 2015, adding a fifth bedroom with it's own en-suite bathroom.

Why they chose this property

We looked for several years before finding 'Beam Reach'.
We wanted for the *whole* extended family to meet up.
Somewhere modern: big rooms, big windows, high ceilings, views - no cottages for us!.
The sea view was essential, but the huge garden and swimming pool was the surprised that sealed the deal.
We bought from the architect who built and treasured the house, we've modernised and upgraded, but we try to keep his original vision.

What makes this property unique

Our family say the house is big enough to spend a whole week without leaving the grounds (except for quick trips to the big Tesco's that's close by).

Lounging by the pool. Enjoying the view. Lunch & Dinner outside on the sheltered patio - surrounded by the wonderful garden.
Cosied up around the real fire in winter.

But, there is lots to do as well.
It's great for Golfers (that's my brother) and Sailors (all of us). We love visiting the Cornish gardens, and this area is famous for them. And then there's the Eden Project, and the wonderful old harbours like Georgetown.
The Carlyon Bay Hotel is close by, great for food, and a wonderful Spa (serious pampering).

But, most of all, its that the house is big enough for all of us to spread out and relax.
