A seaside property in Cornwall, designed by architect Alex Michaelis, known for his work on celebrity favorite Soho Farmhouse, has been put on the market for £2.5 million.
Little Cottage, located on Praa Sands beach within Cornwall’s Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, was acquired by Michaelis in 2009. He transformed the site, formerly occupied by a 15th-century cottage, into a modern four-bedroom holiday home.
The home features a minimalist, contemporary design across two floors, including a spacious living area, underfloor heating, and a log burner. The kitchen is equipped with modern amenities. Three of the four bedrooms offer sea views, and the bathrooms are designed to provide ocean vistas even from the bath.
According to its listing on Rightmove, the property occupies a prime beachfront position overlooking Mount's Bay and the Atlantic Ocean. The description highlights its 'spectacular frontline position' and 'breathtaking panoramic views' from a private setting.
Michaelis, co-founder of the architectural practice Michaelis Boyd, has been involved with Soho House projects since 1995, including the original Soho House in London and Soho Farmhouse in the Cotswolds, as well as international locations like Berlin and Los Angeles.
The cottage's interior design includes a distinctive sculptural staircase with slitted windows and a roof light, inspired by the form of a seashell.
