This ground floor apartment sits just up the road from the ocean at Watergate Bay – a coastal base for families on the North Cornwall coast. Two large private terraces look down the valley and over the bay, where scarlet sunsets set the sky alight and the Atlantic swell rolls in. With three bedrooms, flexible sleeping arrangements, and direct access to landscaped gardens, it suits families with children of all ages.
Inside, a huge open-plan living area features triple-aspect bay windows overlooking the sea, a 50-inch flat screen TV, and a dining area with floor-to-ceiling windows seating eight. The fully equipped kitchen includes a granite breakfast bar and wine cooler. Three bedrooms are set to the quiet rear of the property, each with a digital Freeview TV. The master bedroom has a super king bed and ensuite rainfall shower room. A second double with zip-and-link beds – configurable as a super king or two singles – also has an ensuite rainfall shower. The third bedroom offers the same zip-and-link flexibility with the option of a single and additional stored bed, served by a family bathroom with shower over the bath. Underfloor heating runs throughout, and fibre optic WiFi keeps everyone connected. A spacious entrance hallway houses two large storage cupboards and a separate laundry cupboard with washing machine and tumble dryer. Outside, both terraces catch the evening light, and extensive landscaped communal gardens include lawns, seating areas, and a barbecue area. A communal surf shower and secure surf and beach kit storage are on hand for days on the sand, with designated parking for one car.
Watergate Bay's two miles of beach are popular with surfers and families, exposed to incoming Atlantic swell. A local surf school offers lessons in surfing, kayaking, stand-up paddleboarding, and kite surfing. Stride out along the coast path with walks to Newquay's seven bays or Mawgan Porth, or settle in at one of the beachfront eateries. Music festivals and surf competitions run throughout the year, keeping the lively atmosphere as constant as the tide.
