Perched high on the cliffs overlooking the Atlantic Ocean and Porthtowan beach, this contemporary two-bedroom apartment is an ideal retreat for couples or families looking to enjoy north Cornwall's rugged coast. A private footpath leads directly onto the golden sand below – it is as though the beach is your own front garden. Porthtowan sits at the foot of high cliffs and has a lovely, relaxed, off-the-beaten-path feel.
Inside, a light and spacious open-plan kitchen, dining and living area features large glass patio doors opening onto a balcony with far-reaching views over the bay. The fully equipped kitchen includes a wine fridge and Smeg espresso machine among its highlights, while the living area offers a dining table, sofa, armchair and TV with Freeview. The master bedroom has a king-size bed, a 48-inch flatscreen TV and floor-to-ceiling glass doors opening onto both a Juliet balcony with uninterrupted sea views and the main balcony. Its ensuite has a double walk-in rainfall shower and twin basins. A second bedroom with a super-king zip-and-link bed – convertible to two singles – also enjoys beach views, and the family bathroom includes a shower over the bath. Underfloor heating and Wi-Fi run throughout, with a washer/dryer in the utility cupboard. Outside, the balcony is furnished with two sofas and a coffee table. There is designated off-road parking for one car and a secure surf store for boards and beach toys.
The village has a handful of cafes, pubs and restaurants, plus surf hire and lessons to keep you busy. Great walks along the South West Coast Path lead to neighbouring beaches, and the beautiful St Agnes is accessible on foot along the path or a short drive away, offering plenty of places to eat out and enjoy an evening tipple.
