Location

Beloved by generations of residents and visitors, Polzeath is one of Britain’s foremost beach holiday destinations: many would say the best!. This results from the combination of a beautiful sandy beach, laid back beach village feel and ideal conditions for learning to surf. The beach itself is enormous at low tide, extending around half a mile in all directions. For swimming, Polzeath is one of the safest beaches along this stretch of coast with its gently shelving sand and seasonal lifeguard cover.

Stepper Point stands sentinel at the far side of the estuary and Pentire Head protects the bay to the north. The southwest coast path passes directly through Polzeath and the headland, managed by the National Trust, provides stunning walking routes open to magnificent ocean and coastal views.

Surf shops, cafés and restaurants, a supermarket, a boutique and art gallery make up the commercial centre of the village. The clifftop Atlantic Bar and Kitchen is just a short walk from Pentire Rocks, with a terrace overlooking the ocean – superb for watching the sun set at any time of the year.

Description

Number 2, Pentire Rocks is in a charming terrace and part of a development built in 2007, of maisonettes and terraced cottages on two levels connected by walkways and stairs.

The service/ maintenance charge (currently £1200 per annum.) covers external painting, window cleaning, gardening and general maintenance.

Of traditional block construction, white rendered, with granite detail and slate roofs, the houses look in keeping with local seaside architecture.

The front door, with a porthole, opens onto a hall and in-built storage and cloakroom with wc. Directly in front is the open plan living area, comprising a spacious sitting room, dining table for six and a good-sized kitchen. A square bay window with a patio door to the private, paved terraced garden is a feature here.

The kitchen has fitted units and appliances (NEFF hob, oven and extractor) and a pleasant view over the communal garden.

Stairs turn to the first floor and the half landing window has a view over the garden to the sea. There are three double bedrooms, one of them with an en suite shower room, and all with floor to ceiling storage. Each has a view, either over the rear garden or past neighbouring houses to to the sea. There is also a family bathroom.

The whole interior is bright with natural light and with the white, cream and grey colour scheme, complemented by pale wood floors. Electric radiators and heated towel rails provide heating.

The pretty terraced garden is paved for minimal upkeep and maximum enjoyment of the sun and outdoor dining, with plenty of room for a barbecue and exterior furniture. It is securely fenced and private, though the top terrace has a view towards Baby Bay and the cliff path along the headland to Pentire.

There is a locked storeroom large enough for surfboards, wetsuits and more besides. The communal areas with shrubberies, wide paved paths and stairs are well maintained.
Each property at Pentire Rocks has an allocated parking space and there are two additional shared spaces.
