This chic contemporary penthouse apartment sits just 150 metres from the shoreline of Watergate Bay on the North Cornwall coast – a perfect base for families and couples drawn to golden sand, Atlantic surf and the buzz of one of Cornwall's best-loved beaches. Watergate Bay's two miles of sand attract surfers and thrill seekers alongside those simply looking to stride out on a long ramble or settle in for a scarlet sunset over the sea.
Inside, high semi-domed ceilings create a light and spacious feel throughout. The open-plan living area has two sofas, a flat screen television with Sky Movies and Sport, and patio doors opening onto a Juliet balcony with garden views. A dining table seats six, and the fully equipped kitchen includes a Nespresso machine. The master bedroom has a king-size bed with garden views, while the twin bedroom – with bunk beds and a pull-out truckle bed – is ideal for children. A travel cot and highchair are also provided. The bathroom has a bath with shower attachment and heated towel rail. Underfloor heating runs throughout. Outside, there is designated parking for one car, a communal surf shower to rinse off after a day on the beach, and a secure storage cage in the basement for surf boards, wetsuits and beach toys.
Watergate Bay is an adrenaline junkie's paradise. The beach is exposed to incoming swell from the Atlantic, making it an excellent spot for surfing, kayaking, stand-up paddle boarding and kite surfing, with lessons available locally. The lively atmosphere is as constant as the tides, with music festivals and surf competitions running throughout the year, and beachfront eateries serving everything from fried fish to juicy burgers. Lace up your walking boots and head out along the coast path towards Newquay's seven bays or Mawgan Porth.
