This light and spacious apartment sits in an awe-inspiring position above the beach in Porthtowan on the north coast of Cornwall, making it a perfect retreat for families or couples looking to enjoy the coast. Porthtowan has a lovely relaxed off-the-beaten-path feel, with a very pretty sandy beach backed by dunes and a virtually traffic-free setting that creates a wonderfully peaceful atmosphere. The beach is just a stroll down the steps right outside the apartment – it really is that close.
Inside, huge windows and patio doors flood the living area with light and fully exploit the coastal views, opening onto a big balcony with far-reaching views over the bay. A UHD 43-inch Smart TV with Blu-Ray player, Freeview and Internet Radio keeps everyone entertained. The fully equipped kitchen includes a wine fridge and Nespresso coffee machine with original pods among its highlights, and a utility cupboard in the hallway houses a washer/dryer. The master bedroom features a king-size bed, two floor-to-ceiling windows with uninterrupted sea views, and a patio door onto the balcony, with an ensuite shower room offering a double shower enclosure and twin basins. A twin bedroom with two small single beds also enjoys sea views, and there is a family bathroom with shower over the bath. Underfloor heating and Wi-Fi run throughout, and a high chair, travel cot, and a selection of books, DVDs and games are provided. Outside, designated off-road parking is available for one car, and a secure surf store offers handy space for boards and beach toys.
Porthtowan has a handful of cafes, pubs and restaurants to choose from, along with surf hire and lessons. Great walks along the coast path lead to neighbouring beaches, and the nearby village of St Agnes is well worth a visit.
