Step into this welcoming home and be greeted by a wonderful blend of contemporary finishes and period accents.

Sink into the lounge's plush sofa seating after a day of exploration or gather around the dining table to plan the next day's activities over a delicious meal prepared in the well-equipped kitchen. Dine al fresco and take in the panoramic views from the terrace's comfortable outdoor lounge area, complete with a BBQ that's sure to come in handy on a warm summer evening. To the rear of the property is a useful space for washing wetsuits and storing beach gear.

At the end of the day, soak tired legs in the tiled bathroom's tub before heading to bed in one of two spacious and inviting bedrooms that promise a good night's sleep under plush bedspreads in this tranquil, calm environment. A utility room completes this fantastic home. With its three miles of golden sands, clear waters, spectacular cliff-top walks and famous surf, it's easy to see why Perranporth attracts visitors from all over the world.

A 300-metre walk brings you to the beach and the bustling heart of the village, where you will discover a range of shops, cafes, restaurants and pubs to choose from. For walkers, strike out along the South West Coast Path and enjoy rambles to the north towards Newquay and south towards St Agnes, Porthtowan and Portreath, keeping an eye out for the occasional dolphin, seal or basking shark along the way. With much to see and do in the area, you could visit a gorgeous garden or stately home one day, a gallery or museum the next, or for something a little more active, surf schools, boat trips, horse riding, and cycling trails can all be found nearby.
