This beautifully finished apartment sits on the cliff above Porthtowan Beach on Cornwall's north coast, making it a perfect bolthole for couples seeking a relaxed, off-the-beaten-path coastal escape. The village of Porthtowan lies at the foot of high cliffs not far from St Agnes, with a pretty sandy beach backed by dunes and a lovely laid-back feel.
Inside, the apartment has a light, roomy feel with almost full-width windows and patio doors opening onto a large balcony with uninterrupted views across the beach and out to sea. The living area includes a double sofa-bed, a wall-hung widescreen television with Freeview, and a selection of books and games, while the dining area seats four. The fully equipped kitchen features a Nespresso pod coffee machine and wine fridge among its highlights. A utility cupboard in the hallway houses a washer/dryer, and underfloor heating and Wi-Fi run throughout. The bedroom has a kingsize bed, wardrobe, and two floor-to-ceiling windows with sea views and a patio door onto the balcony. The bathroom includes a shower over the bath, basin, and heated towel rail. Outside, the property is tucked away in an almost traffic-free location with designated off-road parking for one car and a secure surf store for boards, beach toys, and equipment. To reach the beach, simply shut the door, descend the steps right outside, and you are on the sand in seconds.
Porthtowan has a handful of cafes, pubs, and restaurants to try, along with a local convenience store and ice cream parlour. Surf hire and lessons are available on the beach, and great walks along the coast path lead to neighbouring beaches for those looking to explore further afield.
