Location

Porth Beach, situated between Newquay and Watergate Bay, is a lovely sandy beach popular with families due to its expanse of golden sands, ideal for children to play on. Set in a deep inlet, Porth is a narrow beach with gently sloping sand. The long tidal drop reveals many beautiful rock pools and some fascinating sea life; in addition, due to its position being protected by headlands on both sides, it is very sheltered. RNLI lifeguards are on duty from May to September There is a narrow footbridge from the beach where visitors can access Porth Island on which lies Trevelgue Head, an impressive ancient cliff fort and settlement. The Mermaid Inn is beside the beach and across the road is a café, a tapas bar, a teahouse and a popular surf shop.

Description

This contemporary home was constructed in 2022 and maximises its position with a lookout-style balcony front for the beach views. Enter the front door into an open plan living, dining and kitchen space on the first floor, where bifold doors open across the full width of the house onto the balcony and invite the fresh sea air in. South facing, this is a wonderful suntrap. However, if cosiness is needed, there is a wood burner in the sitting area, set in front if an attractively designed wood panelled wall. The dining space, with bespoke family sized table also has a prime view of the bay. The fully fitted kitchen features a gas hob, fridge freezer, oven, microwave, wine fridge, and large island with breakfast bar. Also on this floor is the snug, fitted out for tv viewing and with shelves for books and games, and beyond this a WC with basin. Opposite is the utility/laundry room and the cupboard housing the gas boiler and water tank. Underfloor heating throughout the house is very effective.
A wooden staircase, naturally lit by a large frosted, half landing window, leads down to the ground floor hall, where sensor lights are activated. Four stylishly designed double bedrooms are all on this floor, two with ensuites. The first fits a superking bed, has good inbuilt storage and is decorated with a feature seascape wall, as found in each bedroom. Across the hall, the next bedroom is also spacious enough for a superking and has generous bespoke fitted wardrobes. The principal ensuite bedroom overlooks the front garden terrace and has a super view of the beach. A walk-through dressing room, well fitted with ample storage space, leads into the shower room with walk in rainfall shower and heated towel rail. Adjacent is the fourth bedroom, also en suite with a shower room, bespoke fitted wardrobes and a lovely view to the front terrace and the beach beyond. The family bathroom on the ground floor has a bath, separate rainfall shower and heated towel rail. It is attractively tiled, in keeping with the stylish décor throughout the house. The pale wood floors combine with rich colour schemes and the comfort of underfloor heating to make this a very welcoming home.

Outside - The enclosed barbecue patio in the front garden, overlooking the beach is perfect for summer evenings. A gate opens to steps down to a small terrace set within the steep garden, planted with suitably robust coastal plants. There is parking on a private drive for two/three cars. A surf storage box for beach paraphernalia and hot outdoor shower for rinsing wetsuits and sandy feet after a day on the beach are handily placed close to the ground floor side entrance.
