1 Bed Apartment in Watergate Bay

About this property

This fourth-floor penthouse apartment occupies a quiet position overlooking gardens, 150 metres from the shoreline at Watergate Bay in North Cornwall. Ideal for families, couples, and surfers, it makes a comfortable base for an active coastal break. The bay's 2 miles of sand are fully open to incoming Atlantic swells that draw watersports enthusiasts for surfing, kayaking, stand-up paddleboarding, and kite surfing. Surf schools on the beach offer lessons for beginners looking to catch their first wave. Along the clifftops, the South West Coast Path heads south to Mawgan Porth or north through Porth Beach and on to Newquay, where seven distinct bays sit alongside galleries and independent shops. Popular with families and dog walkers, the beach also plays host to surf competitions and music festivals throughout the year, adding to Watergate Bay's lively atmosphere.

The front door opens into a bright, open-plan living area where patio doors lead to a Juliet balcony with views over the gardens, flooding the room with natural light. Two three-seater sofas face a Smart TV with Netflix, and a drop-leaf dining table seats up to six when fully extended. The kitchen area sits to one side, ready for self-catering stays. From the living space, a hallway leads through to the master bedroom, where a super-king-size bed sits between two bedside tables, with a built-in wardrobe offering generous storage space for the whole party. Adjacent to the bedroom, the bathroom has a bath, a separate rainfall shower, a WC, and a heated towel rail. Back in the living area, both sofas convert into king-size beds, providing flexible sleeping arrangements for up to four additional guests. A lift serves the fourth floor, making arrivals and departures with luggage, surfboards, and beach equipment straightforward.

A surf shower, shared with other residents in the building, provides a place to rinse off after a day on the sand, and a secure storage cage in the basement offers space for surfboards, wetsuits, and beach toys. The beach is reached by crossing the road and heading down a slipway. Designated parking is provided for one car.
