About
Located in an enviable elevated position, aptly-named The Beach House benefits from a striking location, perched on a clifftop overlooking award-winning Porthtowan beach.
A stunning example of a holiday home in Porthtowan, sleeping ten guests, you can expect floor-to-ceiling windows throughout to take full advantage of the dramatic coastal outlook, alongside generous grounds with a bubbling hot tub, and sumptuous bedrooms for a restful night’s sleep.
Split across two floors, you’ll appreciate the natural Cornish light that fills this property as soon as you enter The Beach House. On the ground floor guests can enjoy the generously-sized open-plan kitchen/diner space, complete with breath-taking sea views from the three sets of glass doors. For those that like to play chef the kitchen comes well equipped with everything you need to cook up a storm, plus there’s a sweeping central breakfast bar and large dining wooden dining table to enjoy a Cornish feast. For those that prefer to eat alfresco, simply slide back the door and the terrace, complete with plenty of outdoor garden furniture, awaits. Or if you like to grill, there’s a secluded spot to the rear of the property with chunky wooden benches and a gas BBQ, too.
The living room boasts a stunning outlook, again with oversize windows, a delightful hanging egg chair, two sumptuous sofas plus bi-folding doors to the terrace. If you tire of the view, simply kick back and enjoy the 55″ smartTV and captivating gas coal effect inset fire.
There are two well-appointed bedrooms on the ground floor, alongside a stunning modern family bathroom, complete with a lavish volcanic stone freestanding double-ended bathtub and separate walk-in shower. Next door is the light filled bedroom which benefits from a zip ‘n’ link mattress, which can conveniently be set up as a super-king or twin. Meanwhile the ensuite king size bedroom features patio doors which leads out to the rear patio garden. In fact, for those with mobility issues, the layout at The Beach House has been thoughtfully considered. Wheelchair access is available from the parking area, with a gentle slope up to the house and easy entry via wide sliding doors; and once inside enjoy one level with flat flooring throughout (including the aforementioned ground-floor bedrooms), and the patio can be reached through extra-wide bi-fold doors from the lounge or the main kitchen door.
The luxury continues upstairs, with a further three elegantly styled bedrooms to choose from. The master bedroom boasts the best view in the house, with a fabulous glass-fronted balcony with sweeping views of Porthtowan and beyond. There’s a lavish king-size bed and contemporary shower ensuite, too.
The two additional bedrooms on the first floor, also benefit from gorgeous sea views. One is a double, and the other is a twin. They both share access to a convenient shower room.
Naturally, the outside space for this coastal property has the wow factor. The Beach House boasts two fabulous outdoor areas. At the front of the house, enveloped by the coastal vista beyond, guests can enjoy a raised terrace with plenty of garden furniture and an impressive fire pit. The rear patio terrace, with a laidback Mediterranean vibe, may not feature sea views, but the outdoor shower, BBQ area, sun loungers and hot tub soon make up for that.
The Beach House is a truly special property, a beautiful beach retreat on the sought-after Coast Road, the sandy shores of Porthtowan beach are just a ten-minute stroll away. Your Cornwall beach holiday starts here.
