This duplex penthouse apartment sits directly on Perranporth beach with panoramic sea views – a superb base for large families or groups eager to explore Cornwall's wild north coast. Perranporth is unique in landscape and atmosphere, inviting walkers and adventurers of all ages to explore its terrain. Its wild cliffs and countryside inspired Winston Graham to write the Poldark novels. Hike atop vast hills, explore secret caves or sunbathe beside silky dunes. At low tide, wild swim in the natural open-air pool, its waters reaching Mediterranean temperatures in the summer months.
Inside, the apartment spans two floors with open-plan living, dining and kitchen space on the upper level, where floor-to-ceiling glass windows frame views over golden sand dunes, beach and Atlantic Ocean. The living space features a 70-inch Smart TV, U-shaped sofa seating five, two armchairs and bean bags, with sliding doors opening to the balcony. A dining table seats 10. The kitchen includes an oven, induction hob, fridge freezer, dishwasher, microwave, wine fridge, Nespresso coffee machine and washer/dryer. A snug with TV and Xbox keeps younger guests entertained, and underfloor heating runs throughout. A travel cot and highchair are available. Five bedrooms accommodate the whole party – the master has a super-king bed, 55-inch TV, sea views and an ensuite with freestanding bath and walk-in shower. Two further bedrooms have double beds, while the remaining two have bunk beds. Two family bathrooms complete the layout. Outside, the sea-view balcony with large sofa and daybed is perfect for sunset watching. Storage is provided for surfboards and beach gear, with an outside tap for rinsing off sand. Private beach access, two designated parking spaces and lift access to all floors are also included.
From colourful streets dotted with alternative boutiques to the golf club on the green cliff tops, it is easy to while away hour after happy hour in this bubbly coastal town. A surf school operates on the beach, and restaurants, cafes and convenience stores are nearby in the village centre. Perranporth's central position on the North Cornwall coast also makes it a great base for heading further afield – a short drive takes you to Fistral Beach and Watergate Bay, or head south for the heritage coastline and unspoiled bays of St Agnes.
