About this property
Set in an elevated position in the charming coastal village of Porthtowan, on the west coast of Cornwall, rests this wonderful two-bedroom holiday home, 18 South Wheal Towan. Thoughtfully-presented with a well-kept front garden framing far-reaching views across the surrounding coast and country, 18 South Wheal Towan offers an idyllic base for a family of four seeking a seaside adventure. Off-road parking for one car greets you at the foot of this lovely abode, putting the delights of Cornwall within easy reach and making unloading your belongings and settling into your new home-from-home a simple task and safe affair for your children!
A lengthy journey calls for rest, so make your way through to the snug sitting room, where you can look forward to watching the sun setting over the Atlantic ocean. When stomachs start to rumble, make your way to the well-equipped kitchen, where you'll find all of the essential amenities required to help rustle up hearty meals to be enjoyed at the dining table. In the summer months, why not make mealtimes an alfresco affair with a sociable seat amongst the scenic greenery of the front garden, backed by the unrivalled views of the glistening waters of the coast. The delightful conservatory makes for a wonderful space to enjoy the morning sun over a cup of Cornish Tea or finish your evening drinks, whatever the weather!
Climbing the stairs to the first floor, you'll find a stylish family bathroom, where you can indulge with a blissful soak as your towel warms on the heated rail, before climbing into your pyjamas ready for bed. As your eyes grow heavy, retreat to one of two beautifully-appointed bedrooms, with the choice between a queen and a family room, fit with both a single and bunk bed, ideal for families, friends and children sharing. The quiet location on top of the cliffs provides a peaceful place to rest, listening to the sound of the ocean as you fall asleep and watching the first light hit the sea, whilst enjoying a cup of tea in bed.
A short walk from your doorstep will bring you into the heart of Porthtowan, where you'll find all of your local amenities, including a wealth of delicious eateries, ideal for those days when you don't fancy doing the cooking, along with a number of shops to peruse. Be sure to pack your bucket and spade and head to the glorious golden sands of Porthtowan Beach, where you can spend a relaxing afternoon basking in the suns rays with a good book in hand, building sandcastles with the little ones, or paddling the shores toward the neighbouring infamous Lushington Surf Break with plenty of Surf Schools to choose from.
Explore more of your surroundings with a scenic stroll along the South West Coast Path, where you'll be greeted by views of Porthtowan Tidal Pool, the historical landmark of Great Wheal Charlotte and the National Trust's St Agnes Head. There's plenty to see and do further inland as well, including the Cornwall Gold and Tolgus Mill, where you can tour Cornwall’s last working Victorian tin mill before building your own bear, picking your own pearl, or indulging in a bite to eat with a traditional menu at The Cornish Pantry. With all of this and more, there's no better way to explore Cornwall than with a stay at 18 South Wheal Towan.
