We’re thinking of moving down to Cornwall.

As a result of the death of an aunt we have around 400,000 to spend and are looking for advice on which parts would be best for a place suitable for holiday lets for about three to five years with the intent for us to relocate on a permanent basis after that time.

Somewhere near the sea, and ideally very near, is our preference.

In the past we’ve been through places like Redruth and Cambourne and hate them so they’re out not only by distance from the coast but also by what they’re like as places, though Hayle or Marazion both look quite pleasant.

Any suggestions?
