Porth View

Porth View: Cornwall

Panoramic views over the North Atlantic, a west-facing beach to make the most of those long-distance swells and just far enough outside Newquay and Padstow to avoid the heavy crowds – welcome to this stunning Cornish retreat, just a stone's throw from Mawgan Porth's Sunday Times award-winning beach and the captivating South West Coast Path.

From the incredible sun deck, private freestanding tub and the beach barbecue area to the roaring wood burner in the living room, this home is perfectly set up to make the most of its enviable location, whatever the weather.

The open-plan kitchen and dining room is decorated in white, with plenty of blonde wood that serves to remind you of the beach. There's a wood burner to keep you cosy on blustery days, while there are French doors that lead out onto a large decking area that can be flung open when the sun's out.

Elsewhere in the home, uncover a soothing colour palette of greens, blues and oranges that echo the breathtaking sea views and jaw-dropping sunsets that you'll witness from the west-facing terrace. It's a theme that continues through to the tranquil bedrooms including the main room's stylish Soho House bed. In addition to a fantastic night's sleep on the comfy mattress, this room also benefits from a private patio complete with a freestanding tub – perfect for sunset pampering sessions with a glass of wine.
