High Tides

Peace, tranquillity and sublime sea views await at this lovely family property perched on the cliffs of Portwrinkle, with easy access to the beach and walking trails. Part of the Rame Peninsula, Portwrinkle is a tiny former fishing village located at the end of Whitsand Bay, with two main beaches and a series of rock pools to explore at low tide. This lesser-known corner of Cornwall is one of few surfing spots on this side of the county, or if you fancy something a little gentler, the Whitsand Bay Golf Course is next to the village. Walkers can lace up their boots and walk a section of the South West Coast Path, which passes through town. Pop to the small coastal village of Cremyll (8 miles) to visit the Mount Edgcumbe House and Country Park or catch the historic ferry to visit the city of Plymouth.

Sitting on the cliffside with sublime sea views throughout, this property is built over several levels but has just a few steps between each, so there are no long flights of stairs to negotiate. As you enter the property, the first level is home to a well-equipped kitchen and cloakroom. A few steps lead down to the spacious lounge/diner, which has a family dining table, comfortable sofas arranged around a TV, and two chairs next to a large picture window from where there are splendid sea views. A few more steps lead down to a twin bedroom, family bathroom and separate utility room, and more steps lead to the final two bedrooms, one king-size room with sea views and one twin.

Out the back, there’s a large patio overlooking the sea with garden seating to make the most of the glorious views, and a sloping garden with steps down to a gate from where it is a short walk to the seafront.
