This contemporary penthouse apartment sits right on the edge of Porth Beach in North Cornwall, offering families and groups of friends a breathtaking base from which to explore one of the coast's most beloved stretches of sand. Walk through the shared garden and straight onto a wide expanse of golden beach where streams, rock pools, and caves beg to be explored, while a sweep of sand provides ample terrain for sandcastle building. Adventurers and explorers of all ages will lose hour after happy hour here.
Inside, a generous open-plan living space is flooded with light through full-width glass doors that frame views across the sand and out to sea. Settle into modern, comfy sofas with a TV, Blu-ray, and board games to hand. The dining area seats eight, and the fully equipped kitchen includes a drinks fridge and Krups coffee machine. Two sets of bi-folding doors open onto the balcony. Three bedrooms provide super-king-size beds – two with zip-and-link flexibility for twin configurations, and one with an en-suite shower room. Two of these bedrooms also enjoy sea views and balcony access. The fourth bedroom has a king-size bed and an en-suite shower room. The family bathroom features a shower over the bath and WC. Outside, the large private balcony is furnished with teak and wicker-effect seating alongside a picnic table for al fresco dining, with spectacular sea and beach views. A shared garden with a heated outdoor shower and secure board storage sits below, with two designated parking spaces and lift access to the apartment.
From the beach, a narrow wooden footbridge leads to Porth Island – a headland full of history, where at mid-tide on windy days, the blowhole shoots rainbow sprays of water. Head 0.5 miles south along the coast path to reach Lusty Glaze, a secluded cove, or walk 3 miles north towards Watergate Bay where beachside eateries and cafes await. The rolling cliffs of Mawgan Porth (5 miles) lie further along the coast path for those seeking more dramatic scenery.
