This contemporary second floor apartment sits right on Perranporth beach on the North Cornwall coast, inviting families, walkers and adventurers of all ages to explore its wild cliffs and countryside – the very landscape that inspired Winston Graham to write the Poldark novels. With the beach on the doorstep and uninterrupted views over the Atlantic Ocean from the balcony, this is a coastal base with real pull.
Inside, an open-plan living, dining and kitchen space features floor-to-ceiling windows and patio doors opening onto a large terrace with direct sea views. The living area has a two-seater sofa, two armchairs, TV and coffee table. A dining table seats up to six guests, and the fully equipped kitchen includes a Nespresso machine and breakfast bar with two stools. A utility cupboard in the hallway houses a washer/dryer, and underfloor heating runs throughout. The master bedroom has a king-size bed, en-suite rainfall shower and views over the golden sand dunes. A second bedroom offers a zip-and-link bed – configurable as a king or two singles – with views over Perranporth town and the countryside beyond. A family bathroom with bath and shower completes the sleeping accommodation. Outside, the balcony is furnished with a sofa, two chairs and a coffee table. Storage is available for surfboards and beach gear, and there is private beach access for residents via a footpath. Parking is provided for one vehicle, with further spaces in the public car park. A communal outside shower and lift access to all floors are also available.
Perranporth's colourful streets are dotted with boutiques, cafes, restaurants and surf stores, while a golf club sits on the green cliff tops above. At low tide, wild swim in the natural open-air pool – its waters reaching Mediterranean temperatures in summer. Hike atop vast hills, seek out secret caves, or paddle on the shoreline. From its central position on the North Cornwall coast, a short drive takes you to Fistral Beach and Watergate Bay, or head south for the heritage coastline and unspoiled bays of St Agnes.
