Drifters

Drifters is a detached, reverse-level house in Rock, overlooking the tidal waters of the Camel Estuary and the countryside beyond, a short walk from Rock beach and its waterfront restaurants and shops. The main living space is on the first floor, so the sea views run across the open-plan kitchen, dining area and sitting room, and out to a stone balcony. A separate TV room and a wood burner complete the floor.

Three of the four bedrooms are on the ground floor: a super king-size with an en-suite bath, separate shower, basin and WC, a king-size with an en-suite shower, and a twin, next to a family bathroom with a bath. The fourth bedroom, another twin, is on the first floor, where there is also a cloakroom. Together they sleep eight. The kitchen has an integrated oven and hob, microwave, fridge/freezer, washing machine, tumble dryer and dishwasher, and there is a TV and WiFi.

Outside, an artificial-grass garden has steps up to a terrace with furniture. Private parking is for four cars. Central heating is included, along with fuel, power, bed linen and towels. The foot ferry to Padstow is 1.5 miles away, Polzeath 2.8 miles and Wadebridge 6.2 miles. No pets and no smoking.

The layout suits two families, or a group of friends who want en-suite rooms, and is less good for a party wanting living space and bedrooms on the same floor.
