This contemporary townhouse, set over four floors, sits just metres from the sand of Porth Beach – a dream base for families and groups exploring North Cornwall together. When children draw a seaside scene, they draw Porth. Streams, rock pools, and caves beg to be explored, whilst a sweep of beach provides ample terrain for sandcastle building.
Inside, the open-plan first floor combines the living, dining, and kitchen areas. The living room features an L-shaped sofa, a Smart TV, and doors leading out to a balcony with distant sea views. A large wooden dining table seats eight, and the sleek kitchen includes a wine fridge, a Nespresso coffee machine, and a breakfast bar with three stools. Four bedrooms – all with super-king-size zip-and-link beds that can be configured as twins on request – are spread across the ground and second floors, served by two en-suite shower rooms and a family bathroom. A games room on the lower-ground floor features a dartboard, table tennis, and an Xbox with gamer seats, while the utility room provides a washing machine and tumble dryer. A private garden with an artificial lawn has seating for eight beneath a large parasol, while a hot tub sits under a modern pergola, and two balconies and a hot outdoor shower complete the outdoor space. There is private parking for two cars on the driveway, which is very steep.
A narrow wooden footbridge leads to Porth Island (0.5 miles), a headland full of history – watch in awe at mid-tide as a blowhole shoots rainbow sprays of water. Back on the beach, fresh food and drinks are served at beachside eateries. Join the South West Coast Path for scenic clifftop rambles; walk to Watergate Bay and onto Mawgan Porth (both within 4 miles), or venture to Newquay (2 miles) for top-class surf beaches and traditional seaside fun.
