About this property
Schoopers is a rare coastal retreat, set amongst rolling green fields on the edge of the Camel Estuary, tucked away down a country lane at Gentle Jane, just five minutes from Rock. This secluded haven offers a true escape, with just one neighbour and direct access to your very own private shingle beach.
A bubbling stream winds through the large garden and woodland, leading you down to the shore. Here, your exclusive beach awaits; perfect for launching a kayak, fishing, skipping stones, or simply soaking in the tranquil beauty of the estuary. The setting is idyllic for picnics, wildlife spotting, or enjoying breathtaking sunsets over the water.
Inside, the property is a comfortable and inviting family home. The sitting room offers wonderful estuary views, best enjoyed from the balcony, the perfect spot to take in the ever-changing landscape. The kitchen also shares these spectacular vistas, so you can start your day with a leisurely breakfast while gazing out over the Cornish countryside and sea views. In cooler months, curl up by the wood-burning stove and watch the tides shift from the warmth of your cosy retreat.
The house sleeps six across three beautiful bedrooms. The master bedroom is spacious with a large en-suite, styled in soft blue and cream tones with elegant wooden furnishings. The second bedroom is traditionally decorated, offering stunning views stretching across the lush valley and down to the water. The third bedroom is a charming twin room, surrounded by greenery outside.
The gardens burst into life in spring and summer, with golden daffodils, vibrant wildflowers, and towering magnolia trees adding to the charm of this stunning setting. Along the way to the beach, you'll pass a historic 1920s Tradesman’s Caravan—a picturesque feature of the landscape that serves as a unique backdrop for a picnic spot.
Beyond the property, some of Cornwall’s most iconic destinations are within easy reach. The golden sands and renowned surf of Polzeath are just a short drive away, while the charming fishing villages of Port Isaac and Padstow offer fantastic seafood, scenic coastal walks, and a taste of Cornwall’s rich maritime heritage. With breathtaking views, a hidden coastal location, and exclusive access to your own private beach, Schoopers is a true gem of the Cornish coastline; an unforgettable retreat for those seeking peace, beauty, and adventure by the water.
