About this property
This contemporary apartment is perched directly above Porthtowan's sandy, dune-backed beach on Cornwall's north coast, with uninterrupted views across the bay. Made for couples and families seeking a coastal holiday built around surfing, beach days, and cliff-top walking. Porthtowan sits at the foot of high cliffs on this stretch of the Cornish coast, with a quieter, more relaxed atmosphere than the better-known village of St Agnes further along the shore. The coast path runs along the clifftops in both directions, connecting Porthtowan to neighbouring beaches and offering striking walking routes high above the Atlantic. Surf hire and lessons are available in the village, and the broad sandy beach draws surfers and swimmers throughout the year. A handful of cafes, pubs, and restaurants give the village a sociable heart without the bustle of larger Cornish resorts, and the surrounding coastline rewards those who set out to explore on foot.
63 steps from the car park lead to the front door, opening into a light, contemporary interior. The spacious open-plan living, dining, and kitchen area forms the heart of the space, with floor-to-ceiling windows framing the sea views and patio doors opening onto the balcony – from which further steps lead down to the beach. A TV and Bluetooth speaker sit in the living area, while the dining area comfortably seats six around a table. Between the kitchen and living areas, a breakfast bar with two stools adds to the sociable, open feel. In the hallway, a utility cupboard houses a washer/dryer. In the master bedroom, a king-size bed faces floor-to-ceiling windows with uninterrupted sea views, and the en-suite shower room has a double shower enclosure with a rainfall-style head and WC. The second bedroom offers a king-size zip-and-link bed and two floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the beach, served by a family bathroom with shower over the bath and WC.
The private balcony is furnished with comfortable rattan seating and has views across the bay for al fresco dining. Steps from the balcony lead down to the beach. A secure surf store provides space for boards and beach toys. The apartment is reached via 63 steps from the car park. Allocated parking is available for one car in the car park.
