Luxury Apartment Right By The Beach
Fantastic Views And Very Convenient
Sleeps 4 (2 Bedrooms)
|
|
Porth is a hamlet on Cornwall’s stunning north coast, nestling by a sandy child-friendly beach that is sheltered by rugged headlands. At the highest tides, the sea is literally a stone’s throw from the apartment, whilst low tide exposes a vast beach with rock pools and a freshwater stream. Porth has the convenience of being within walking distance of Newquay and its famous surfing beaches. The apartment is part of a converted Victorian house originally built in 1897 and recently renovated to a very high specification. The apartment is on the first floor, affording magnificent views across the beach. Large sash windows and high ceilings make it particularly light and spacious, while double glazing and central heating ensure that it is cosy on even the coldest winter evenings.

Owner profile
About the owner
Like most families, we lead busy lives in Herfordshire, but Porth is where we enjoy time and space together. We visit several times a year.
Year purchased: 2006
Why the owner chose an apartment in this location
We fell in love with Porth when our children were small, the gentle beach in front of the apartment is just perfect for little ones. As they grew into teenagers, they swapped their buckets and spades for boogie boards and ventured over the headland to beaches with larger waves (10 minute walk). Their growing independence allows us more time to enjoy romantic coastal walks and soak up the stunning views, but the family always want to come with us to the first class local restaurants.
Unique benefits of the property
Our car rarely moves from the time we arrive until we go home, everything we need is in walking distance. It is the perfect break.
