Porthilly

Porthilly is a modern detached house set over two floors. Arrive into the hallway and the full height atrium that floods the house with natural light. Lead into the open plan kitchen and dining areas before stepping down into the sunken spacious living room. From breakfasts on-the-go to lavish suppers based around the glut of local produce found in the area, enjoy cooking, eating and spending valuable time together. The living area is the hub to the house where games are played, nights are spent around the fire and summer days are enjoyed flipping to and fro from the garden. The first of four bedrooms is located on the ground floor with an adjacent walk in shower room. A separate snug/study room is as perfect for those guests that need to check in with life in the office or enjoy a workcation as for children to escape adult chit-chat and watch a film or play the Nintendo Switch or retro Sega. The open-tread staircase ascends from the hallway to the light and lofty first floor with three further bedrooms and contemporary family bathroom complete with sunken Jacuzzi bath, wonderfully placed to capture the sunset and sea views. The master ensuite bedroom is a holiday oasis with a super king bed and glorious sea views across the fields through the full height glass doors, leading to a private balcony. Each bedroom offers a fresh white backdrop but has been styled with fun and creative flair.

The garden offers all you could need for a coastal holiday, slide back the full height glass doors and spill out to the grass and terrace where al fresco dining is encouraged at the large table and time under the Cornish sun is spent on the outside sofas with a favourite book. An indulgent hot tub sits atop a raised platform with views across the green fields to the headland and the sea, just imagine a bubbling soak as the sun sets - pure holiday bliss. The energy of the surf, golden sand beaches and breathtaking scenery of this corner of Cornwall offers the most wonderful playground in any season. The Seven Bays is centred around the village of St Merryn and includes Trevone, Harlyn, Mother Ivey’s, Booby’s, Constantine, Treyarnon and Porthcothan each with their own appeal from the open spaces at Constantine to the quieter sheltered cove at Trevone. From the plum location of Porthilly, you really are spoilt for choice. From your holiday door, wander along to a tempting collection of places to eat. Rick Stein's The Cornish Arms for great pub grub, Rafferty's for more bistro style dining and bar-life or simply grab fish and chips to enjoy at home. Padstow is a popular harbour town where you can rub shoulders with local fishermen and choose from a plethora of incredible restaurants including Paul Ainsworth's No 6.

From the halcyon beach days we remember as a child to North Cornwall adventuring - Porthilly is a superb base in the heart of the Seven Bays community.
