A charming two-bedroom cliffside chalet with rare vehicle access, set in a wonderfully secluded south-westerly plot overlooking Trenninow Beach and the expanse of Whitsand Bay. A rare coastal escape with private garden and breathtaking sea views.
Occupying a tucked-away position on Trenninow & Wiggle Cliff, this rare coastal chalet enjoys a prime outlook above the dramatic and much-loved Trenninow Beach—locally known as Boiler Beach. The property offers a delightful opportunity to enjoy this unique stretch of Cornish coastline, where the historic boiler wreck of The Chancellor lies between the sands and rocks. Benefitting from vehicle access, private outdoor space and panoramic views across Whitsand Bay, this is a rare chance to acquire a semi-off-grid coastal bolthole in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. With main
Inside, the chalet is arranged across a single storey and remains largely of original construction, offering a simple yet well-maintained interior for sea-side escapes. A central kitchen/diner/living room forms the heart of the property, with windows offering uninterrupted views of the sea and surrounding cliffs. The space includes a modest kitchenette with hob, sink and Calor gas-powered cooking facilities. A door leads to the shower room, which features a shower cubicle, WC, and hand basin.
To the easterly side of the property lie two bedrooms. Bedroom 2 is entered directly from the living space, and Bedroom 1 is accessed by walking through Bedroom 2—making the layout best suited for family use or close companions. Both bedrooms enjoy stunning sea views and offer space for bunk beds or compact furnishings.
Outside, the chalet sits within a private, wrap-around garden enjoying a warm, south-westerly aspect—perfect for sitting out in the sun or watching the evening light sweep across the bay. Mostly laid to lawn with natural borders and hedging, the grounds feel wonderfully secluded, with direct and far reaching views of the sea. A footpath leads directly down to the sandy beaches below, making the property the perfect beach retreat.
The chalet is semi-off grid, with mains drainage, but no electricity (many have installed solar, subject to usual planning consents etc), bottled Calor gas for heating and private drainage.
Access is a key feature here, with rare vehicle rights along a cliffside track and a layby for parking directly opposite the short footpath leading to the chalet gate. Additionally there is a gated communal carpark is also located at the clifftop, with annual permits available to leaseholders.
Whitsand Bay stretches dramatically from Rame Head to Portwrinkle, with high cliffs, golden sands and breathtaking views at every turn. The South West Coast Path passes close by, with direct foot access down to the beach below and onward routes to Rame, Freathy and Millbrook village, where everyday amenities can be found.
