Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
If you want to feel the full force of nature, but would also like to be surrounded by all the modern comforts you could hope for, then this home is perfect for you. Perched on top of the craggy cliffs of north Cornwall, and boasting an array of vast picture windows, you can spend your days watching the waves crash against the shore, as the clouds go scudding by. Inside, you’ll find a vast open-plan living space, complete with a country-style kitchen, and a cosy living room with squishy velvet sofas and a stone hearth to curl up beside on stormier days. The unique circular window in the master bedroom means you’ll be (just about) sleeping with your head in the clouds – and a perfectly positioned chaise longue means you can enjoy slow mornings reclining as you sip your coffee and admire the view some more. Porthtowan Beach is just a short fifteen-minute walk away, and a ten-minute drive will take you to St Agnes – a charming Cornish village with scenic walks, sandy beaches and an array of local pubs, restaurants and shops to discover.

This home is family-friendly, but children should be supervised outside as the cliff is quite steep
