Porth Beach and beyond
|
|
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.
