Penpont, Perranporth

An elegant coastal townhouse boasting glimmering ocean vistas over the idyllic seaside resort of Perranporth in North Cornwall. This spacious retreat is perfect for multi-generational family gatherings and reunions with old friends plus a couple of tufty-pawed pals. Traverse the magnificent stretch of golden sand sprawling the shoreline at Perranporth Beach (300 metres), then slide open the patio doors to indulge in a balmy al fresco supper on the patio. Set across three floors, this tastefully appointed property features a contemporary interior. Picture clean lines, tranquil tones, and light-dappled social spaces. Step into the airy dual-aspect lounge with an array of plump seating for all of the gang to perch on. Grab a book and sink onto the armchair nestled in the bay window or prop open the patio doors to bask in the gentle summer breeze. On cooler nights, the crackling wood burner creates an irresistibly cosy ambience. Chop, zest, and simmer in the sleek kitchen bathed in natural light then assemble in the formal dining space for a celebratory feast. Ascend the staircase to discover a selection of tranquil sleeping areas situated on the first and second floors – each with crisp linens and stylish soft furnishings. Tuck into a cooked breakfast spread on the secluded tiled patio or rinse off sandy toes in the heated shower after a day by the sea. Thrill-seekers can kit up for an afternoon of adrenaline-fuelled surfing fun while those seeking more sedate pursuits cheer on from the Perranporth beach bar (400 metres). Pick up a section of the epic coastal trail snaking towards Holywell Bay (5 miles) or tuck into an ice cream cone as you saunter along the waterfront of St Agnes (4 miles).
