Description of Dolphins Leap
With stunning sea views and direct access on to the South West Coast Path, this recently refurbished first floor apartment is one of four converted from a spacious detached house set in an elevated position above the cove at Mawgan Porth. Mid way between Newquay and Padstow on the North Cornish Coast, this is an ideal position for exploring the dramatic coastline and just a two minute walk to the popular family beach with fine sand between two steep headlands.
Entered from the shared driveway where there are two allocated parking spaces, a short path and a series of shallow steps lead to the private entrance at the rear. A half glazed door opens directly into a light and airy fitted kitchen with New England style units and a small breakfast table. Leading off to one side is an inner hallway giving access to a shower room W.C. with vanity basin and a delightful double bedroom positioned so that you can enjoy the superb sea and coastal views.
On the opposite side of the kitchen is a pine furnished twin bedded room, and a long beamed living room at the front of the property with magnificent sea views from three double glazed picture windows. On the left, comfortable lounge seating is arranged before an ornamental Cornish stone fireplace, and on the right, there is a pleasant dining area with natural exposed stonework on the walls.
A half glazed door opens in one corner of the lounge to a private railed balcony with glorious views of the sea and coastline and a great place to enjoy the spectacular sunsets – children must be supervised. A communal grassy garden surrounded by a low stone wall is on the seaward side of the house with a footpath leading from here down to the sandy beach and the coast path.
The village of Mawgan Porth, a five minute walk along the beach or half a mile by road, has a pub, newsagent and small store, and for a wider selection of amenities, follow the picturesque coast road to either Padstow 8 miles or Newquay 6 miles. There are some spectacular cliff walks along the coastal path to Watergate Bay and Bedruthan Steps, and also a delightful walk inland through the Vale of Lanherne to St Mawgan. The Scarlet Hotel nearby has a premier day spa and restaurant available to non-residents and there is a hilltop golf course and driving range nearby.
Please note: This property is heated by 2 night storage heaters and 3 electric heaters- inclusive. Cot/carrycot not accepted.
