About this property
Private Beach Retreat – Trelawney House, near Charlestown
Tucked away within the coastal development of Duporth on Cornwall’s beautiful south coast, Trelawney House is a stylish and spacious retreat perfectly suited to families or groups looking to enjoy a relaxed seaside escape. Located just 0.7 miles from the historic harbour village of Charlestown, the property offers modern comfort, generous living space and the rare benefit of exclusive residents-only access to a private beach.
Designed with relaxed coastal living in mind, the heart of the home is a bright and contemporary open plan living space. The well-equipped kitchen provides everything needed for preparing leisurely breakfasts or evening meals after a day exploring the coast, while the dining area creates a welcoming space for everyone to gather and plan the next day’s adventures. The sitting area offers a comfortable place to unwind together, whether enjoying a film or simply relaxing after a day outdoors.
For families travelling with children or teenagers, the property also benefits from a separate snug, offering a second living space that works perfectly as a quiet reading room, games area or a relaxed den where younger guests can enjoy their own space.
Upstairs, four bedrooms provide peaceful places to rest after a day by the sea. The main bedroom enjoys the added convenience of an en-suite shower room, while the remaining rooms are served by a modern family bathroom.
Outside, the enclosed garden offers a private space to enjoy Cornwall’s fresh coastal air. The patio area is ideal for al-fresco dining or evening drinks, while the artificial lawn provides space for children to play after a day at the beach.
One of the highlights of staying at Trelawney House is access to the exclusive residents’ beach at Duporth. This peaceful, sheltered cove is rarely crowded, even during the height of summer, making it a wonderful spot to relax by the sea. The beach is ideal for rock pooling or launching a paddleboard and exploring the calm waters of the bay. From the cove, guests can also easily join the nearby South West Coast Path, with spectacular coastal walks beginning right on your doorstep.
The historic harbour village of Charlestown is just a short walk away and is well worth exploring, known for its tall ships, Georgian harbour, and excellent waterfront restaurants and pubs. The village has also appeared in the popular television series Poldark. From Charlestown, you can follow the scenic South West Coast Path to nearby Porthpean Beach or continue along the dramatic cliff trail towards the charming fishing village of Mevagissey.
Further afield, guests can explore some of Cornwall’s best-loved attractions including the world-famous Eden Project, the beautiful Lost Gardens of Heligan, or the picturesque harbor town of Fowey with its independent shops, sailing waters and excellent seafood restaurants. For those looking to explore further inland, the scenic Camel Trail offers a fantastic cycling route from Bodmin through Wadebridge and on to the coastal town of Padstow.
