This contemporary two-storey penthouse apartment overlooks Watergate Bay on the North Cornwall coast, with views across the Atlantic from two south-facing balconies. Made for families, couples, and surf enthusiasts, it suits active beach holidays where surfing, kayaking, and coastal walks fill the days. Watergate Bay Beach is 150 metres across the road – 2 miles of sand where surfers, kayakers, stand-up paddle boarders, and kite surfers ride the Atlantic swell. A surf school on the beach offers lessons for beginners and improvers alike. The coast path leads to Newquay's seven bays in one direction and Mawgan Porth in the other, with long clifftop rambles and shorter jaunts between the headlands. Music festivals and surf competitions fill the bay throughout the year, and beachfront restaurants and bars line the shore for post-surf dining over fresh fish and burgers.
This split-level apartment spans two floors connected by a spiral staircase – both levels are also accessible from the shared corridor via a lift. The upper floor has an open-plan living, kitchen, and dining area, with two leather sofas arranged around a Smart TV, and a dining table seating six. A breakfast bar separates the kitchen area, and doors open onto a furnished south-facing balcony with sea views. All three bedrooms and both bathrooms sit on the lower floor. The master bedroom has a king-size bed and doors to a second south-facing balcony with sea views. Its en-suite shower room has a shower and WC. A second bedroom has a zip-and-link bed that can be configured as a super-king-size double or two 3ft singles. The third bedroom has bunk beds, 3ft wide. A family bathroom with shower over the bath and WC serves the second and third bedrooms.
Two south-facing furnished balconies – one leading from the living area, the other from the master bedroom – provide outdoor seating with sea views. A secure storage cage in the basement offers space for surfboards, wetsuits, and beach toys. A surf shower, shared with other guests in the development, is available for rinsing off after a day on the beach. Parking is provided for one car.
