This contemporary detached house sits within easy walking distance of Perranporth's golden sandy beach in north Cornwall, making it an ideal base for families and groups of up to eight looking to explore wild cliffs, secret caves and miles of coastline. Part of a small development of five houses, the property invites walkers and adventurers of all ages to discover the terrain that inspired Winston Graham to write the Poldark novels. Hike atop vast hills, paddle on the shoreline or simply soak up the atmosphere of this bubbly coastal town.
Inside, a large open-plan living area on the first floor features a corner suite seating six, a flat screen TV and sliding doors leading out to a balcony with a bistro table and chairs. The fully equipped kitchen and dining space sits on the same floor, with a coffee machine and a modern oak dining table with four chairs and a bench. On the second floor, the master bedroom has a king-size bed, fitted wardrobes, a terrace and an ensuite with rainfall shower, while a second double bedroom also benefits from its own ensuite. The ground floor houses two twin bedrooms, each with an ensuite – one featuring a bath with shower overhead. A separate WC is also on the ground floor. Outside, a garden provides space for alfresco dining, and there is parking for two vehicles along with storage for kayaks and surfboards, plus an outside tap and shower.
At low tide, wild swim in Perranporth's natural open-air pool, where waters can reach Mediterranean temperatures in the summer months. The beach hosts live music and activities throughout the year. Surf schools, a golf club on the green cliff tops and a range of restaurants, cafes and shops are all within easy reach in the village centre. From Perranporth's central position on the north Cornwall coast, a short drive takes you to the surfer's paradise of Fistral Beach and Watergate Bay, or head south for the heritage coastline of St Agnes and the historic Wheal Coates mine along the coastal path.
