Sandy Toes

This ground floor apartment is part of a contemporary clifftop development perched high above Porthtowan Beach and the Atlantic Ocean on Cornwall's rugged north coast. Ideal for families and couples seeking a surf-and-sand holiday, the position offers panoramic views across the bay and down to the golden sand below.

Porthtowan sits at the foot of towering cliffs, its beach framed by rock on either side, and a scattering of cafes, pubs, and restaurants give the village a relaxed, unhurried feel. Surf hire and lessons are available on the beach, and the South West Coast Path runs along the clifftops, connecting to neighbouring coves and headlands.

St Agnes is 3 miles along the coast path, with its own collection of places to eat and drink. The coastline here is wild and exposed, shaped by the Atlantic swell and offering long views along the north Cornish coast.

Light-filled and open plan, the living, dining, and kitchen space runs almost the full width of the apartment, with large windows and patio doors opening onto the balcony. The living area is furnished with a three-seater sofa, two armchairs, and a Smart TV, while a dining table seats four beside the kitchen, where a breakfast bar with two stools provides additional seating.

A utility cupboard in the hallway houses a washer/dryer. Through to the bedrooms, the master has a king-size bed and two floor-to-ceiling windows with sea views; its en-suite shower room features a large rain shower and WC.

The second bedroom has zip-and-link beds that can be configured as a king-size, with floor-to-ceiling windows and equally impressive sea views. A family bathroom serves this room, with a deep bath, shower over the bath, and WC.

A selection of books and games is also available. The entire apartment is on the ground floor with no internal steps.
