Apartment 8, Forest Cove

Apartment 8, Forest Cove is part of a row of modern houses on Grand View Rd in Hope Cove, the unit picked out from above among the shared lawn.

A teal kitchen open to the sea

The open-plan living and kitchen area has a teal kitchen island with a brass tap and open shelving, sliding doors opening straight onto the balcony and sea beyond, a round dining table set for breakfast close to the same view, a grey sofa with cushions completing the room.

A double bedroom in grey

The double bedroom has a grey panelled wall, wall lights either side and a white throw on the bed. The bathroom is metro-tiled with a brass shower over the bath and a navy vanity unit.

A balcony above the gorse

The balcony sits above the gorse with the headland stretching out beyond, a table and two wooden chairs set behind a glass screen, wine glasses often left out on the railing at the end of the day.

A village and harbour seen from above

The wider setting looks down over the village and its sandy cove from the hillside, a harbour wall and stone jetty visible along the rocky coast, boats resting on the beach beside it.

Sea views from every main room

Apartment 8, Forest Cove suits a couple wanting to be right in Hope Cove — sea views from the balcony and every main room, parking and wifi covering the rest, together by the water. It is a solid pick for a couple settling into Hope Cove for the length of a proper break.
