This contemporary home apartment overlooks the shores of Watergate Bay on the North Cornwall coast, 250 metres from the beach. Suited to families, couples, and surfers, the apartment sits above 2 miles of sand with waves rolling in from the Atlantic below. The bay draws beachgoers and surfers in equal measure, and the exposed shoreline picks up incoming swell, making it an excellent spot for surfing, kayaking, stand-up paddleboarding, and kite surfing, with a surf school based on the beach offering lessons. The coast path stretches in both directions – north toward Mawgan Porth and south toward Newquay's seven bays – with walks ranging from long clifftop rambles to shorter jaunts. Surf competitions and live music events run throughout the year, and the energy at Watergate Bay is as constant and lively as the tides.
The home is split-level, with a reverse layout puts the open-plan living area on the first floor and the two bedrooms on the ground floor below. A barrel-vaulted ceiling arches over the living area, with a flame-effect electric fire and full-width sliding glass doors leading out to the sea-view balcony. The kitchen and dining area sit alongside, with table and chairs for mealtimes. A cloakroom with WC is also on this floor. The master bedroom on the ground floor features a super-king-size bed and doors leading out to a patio. Its en-suite bathroom includes a freestanding double-ended bath, a separate shower enclosure, and WC. The second bedroom has a zip-and-link bed that can be configured as a super-king-size double or twin, plus a single pull-out truckle bed, with doors opening onto the patio. An en-suite shower room serves this bedroom, with a shower enclosure and WC. A utility cupboard on this floor houses the washer and tumble dryer.
The first-floor balcony runs the full width of the property and looks out across the bay, furnished with a table, chairs, and sun loungers. The ground-floor patio is accessed directly from both bedrooms. A store room with wetsuit rack and outdoor surf shower is available for rinsing off after a session on the beach. Two shared electric vehicle charge points are available in the development car park, shared with other guests. Parking is designated for one car.
