This contemporary apartment sits in a quiet, virtually traffic-free position perched on the edge of Porthtowan beach on the north coast of Cornwall, making it an ideal retreat for families or couples seeking a relaxed, off-the-beaten-path coastal escape. Porthtowan lies at the foot of high cliffs not far from St Agnes, with a lovely sandy beach backed by dunes. The interior is chic, contemporary and light, fitted and finished to a very high standard throughout, with stunning uninterrupted sea views from almost every room including both bedrooms.
Inside, the spacious open-plan living, dining and kitchen area takes in sweeping sea views. The living area has a flat screen television, Bluetooth speaker and patio doors opening onto the balcony with access to steps down to the beach. The dining area seats six, while the fully equipped kitchen includes a wine fridge, Nespresso coffee machine and breakfast bar with two stools. A utility cupboard in the hallway houses a washer/dryer. The master bedroom has a king-size bed and floor-to-ceiling windows looking straight out to sea, plus an ensuite shower room with a double rainfall-style shower. The second bedroom also has a king-size zip-and-link bed and floor-to-ceiling windows with fantastic views across the beach, served by a family bathroom with shower over the bath. Underfloor heating and Wi-Fi run throughout, and a high chair and travel cot are available. Outside, the private balcony is furnished with comfortable rattan furniture, well suited to outdoor meals overlooking the bay. Designated off-road parking is provided for one car, and a secure surf store is available for boards, beach toys and other gear.
Porthtowan has a handful of cafes, pubs and restaurants to choose from, along with surf hire and lessons, an ice cream parlour and a convenience store. Great walks along the coast path lead to neighbouring beaches, and the village's relaxed pace makes it easy to simply stay put.
