The Farmhouse

Tucked away in the peaceful Porth Valley, just minutes from the golden sand and superb surf at iconic Watergate Bay, The Farmhouse offers the best of both worlds – a secluded countryside retreat with Cornwall’s most exciting stretch of coastline just down the road. Lovingly restored and beautifully styled, this spacious five-bedroom home makes for a fabulous Cornish getaway with family and friends.

Step inside and you’ll find a home brimming with character, think thick stone walls and exposed beams complemented by soft coastal tones, sumptuous seating and thoughtful touches throughout. At the heart of this property is the open-plan country kitchen and dining space, complete with a large farmhouse table, ideal for hearty Cornish breakfasts and family meals together. We love the exposed chunky wood, large sash-style windows and bi-folding doors leading out to the patio for inside/outside living.

The kitchen is superbly equipped, featuring a Rangemaster cooker, American-style fridge freezer, and even a Nespresso machine for your caffeine fix, plus the sizeable island comes complete with a couple of barstools. The living area is a relaxing space, sink into its large corner sofa beside the contemporary crackling wood burner.

For those that fancy a film night, there’s a separate cinema room, which offers a quieter nook, perfect for board games, reading or watching the box, with its large wall-mounted smart TV. Sports enthusiasts will also appreciate the complimentary access to the full Sky Sports package. Downstairs there’s also a conveniently located shower room, plus separate utility space with washing machine and tumble dryer.

Travel upstairs and you’ll find four beautifully appointed bedrooms with chic grey shutters, rolling countryside views and wooden flooring throughout. On the third floor is the split-level master bedroom, with a sumptuous copper bathtub with views reaching out to the surrounding countryside

On the middle floor there are two additional ensuite bedrooms with large walk-in showers, which offer style and comfort in equal measure, plus another large double and a spacious twin, perfect for children or friends sharing. The house features a large family bathroom with bath and shower over, plus a handy downstairs shower room, to ensure there’s no queue for a rinse after the beach.

Outside, the luxury continues. The Farmhouse sits within over an acre of private, landscaped gardens. There’s a large lawn for garden games, mature trees offering dappled shade, and a smart patio with outdoor seating and a BBQ – the perfect setting for summer evening suppers or a quiet morning cuppa. And to top it all off, a luxurious spa area awaits. There’s an eight-person cedar hot tub and outdoor sauna, ideal for stargazing soaks and rejuvenation after a day exploring Cornwall’s coast.

There’s ample parking, plus an EV charger, an outdoor shower for rinsing sandy toes and wetsuits, and you’re only a few minutes’ drive from the golden stretch of Watergate Bay – famed for its surf, dog-friendly beach, and laid-back food scene.
