Porthilly

Porthilly is a striking modern detached house set over two floors, thoughtfully designed to make the most of light, space and its beautiful coastal setting.

Arrive into the hallway, where a full-height atrium floods the house with natural light and creates an immediate sense of openness and calm.

From here, the home flows into the open plan kitchen and dining areas, before stepping down into the spacious sunken living room, a wonderfully sociable space made for gathering together.

Whether you are enjoying easy breakfasts on the go or lingering over lavish suppers inspired by the abundance of local produce found nearby, this is a home designed for cooking, eating and spending valuable time together.

The living area forms the heart of the house, where games are played, evenings are spent around the fire and summer days drift effortlessly between the indoors and the garden.

The first of four bedrooms is located on the ground floor, with an adjacent walk-in shower room adding comfort and flexibility for guests.

A separate snug and study provides a peaceful space for those needing to check in with work, enjoy a quiet workcation moment or simply retreat with a film, while children can escape the grown-up conversation and settle in with the Nintendo Switch.

The open-tread staircase rises from the hallway to the light and lofty first floor, where three further bedrooms and a contemporary family bathroom continue the sense of relaxed luxury.

The bathroom features a sunken Jacuzzi bath, perfectly placed for sunset soaks and sea views, bringing a touch of indulgence to the end of each day.

The principal en suite bedroom is a true holiday oasis, with a super king-size bed, glorious sea views across the fields and full-height glass doors opening onto a private balcony.

Each bedroom is set against a fresh white backdrop and styled with fun, creative flair, creating restful spaces with personality, comfort and a wonderful sense of coastal escape.

The garden at Porthilly has everything you could wish for from a luxury coastal holiday, with full-height glass doors opening out onto a generous lawn and terrace where indoor-outdoor living comes naturally.

Gather around the large outdoor table for alfresco lunches and long summer suppers, or sink into the outside sofas with a favourite book and make the most of slow afternoons beneath the Cornish sun.

For the ultimate indulgence, the hot tub sits on a raised platform with views across green fields towards the headland and sea, creating a truly special place to unwind as the sun sets.

Beyond the garden, this beautiful corner of North Cornwall offers an extraordinary natural playground in every season, from rolling surf and golden beaches to dramatic coastal scenery and wide open skies.

Centred around the village of St Merryn, the Seven Bays include Trevone, Harlyn, Mother Ivey’s, Booby’s, Constantine, Treyarnon and Porthcothan, each with its own character and charm.

Spend days exploring the open sands of Constantine, the sheltered cove at Trevone or the surf-friendly shores of Harlyn, returning each evening to the comfort and calm of Porthilly.

From your holiday door, wander out to a tempting choice of places to eat, from Rick Stein’s The Cornish Arms for relaxed pub classics to Rafferty’s for bistro-style dining, or simply pick up fish and chips to enjoy back at home.

Nearby Padstow adds another layer of foodie appeal, with its bustling harbour, working fishing boats and outstanding restaurants, including Paul Ainsworth at No.6.

From nostalgic beach days filled with buckets, spades and sandy toes to adventures along the North Cornwall coast, Porthilly is a superb base in the heart of the Seven Bays community.
