Built in 1899, the house forms part of a Victorian terrace that looks out to sea over Newtrain bay (known as the ‘rocky beach’) which offers a spectacular vista of rockpools, ideal for fishing, crabbing, bird watching, climbing and observing wildlife. To the right of the property is Trevone’s sandy beach, ideal for swimming, surfing, sunbathing, beach games and relaxation. Those wanting to swim in calm waters can stroll along the coastal path to Tinker Bunny’s Pool, a natural rockpool which is exposed when the tide goes out and is popular with cold water swimmers all year round. The cliffs on one side stretch towards Harlyn Bay ( a large sandy beach popular with surfers). On the other side the coastal path leads to the historic harbour and fishing town of Padstow, now also a centre for good food and home to Rick Stein’s famous fish restaurant and other restaurants/pubs. Next to Trevone beach is a café/restaurant/bar and a beach shop with surfing hire. There is also an old fashioned sauna overlooking the beach which can be booked for up to 9 people for those who enjoy extremes of heat and cold. Padstow Farm shop (20 minute walk) sells an extensive range of local produce.
