5 bed detached house for sale

Eastcliff, Porthtowan, Truro TR4

An exceptional 5 bedroom contemporary coastal residence, commanding far-reaching south-westerly sea views across Porthtowan beach and to the dramatic coastline beyond, with sunset views that sweep as far as St Ives Bay.

Positioned in the highly sought-after Eastcliff area, just moments above the sand and accessed via a direct footpath to the beach, this striking modern home occupies a privileged setting overlooking one of Cornwall’s most celebrated surfing beaches. Porthtowan is renowned for its vibrant coastal lifestyle, equally suited to relaxed family days by the sea and exhilarating surf conditions.

Designed with both style and functionality in mind, the house offers expansive, light-filled accommodation arranged over two floors. At its heart lies a magnificent L-shaped open-plan living space, where floor-to-ceiling glazing captures the ever-changing seascape. The beautifully appointed kitchen flows seamlessly into generous dining and sitting areas, creating an impressive environment for entertaining or relaxed coastal living. Sliding doors open onto two sun-drenched terraces, perfectly positioned to enjoy the panoramic views and evening sunsets.

The ground floor also provides a superb cinema/games room, a substantial 22-foot guest bedroom suite, and a further double bedroom, offering flexibility for guests or multigenerational living.
Occupying the upper floor, the principal suite is a true retreat, boasting uninterrupted coastal vistas, an impressive dressing room and a luxurious en-suite bathroom complete with sauna. Two further beautifully proportioned bedrooms, both enjoying sea views, are served by a stylish shower room.

Externally, the seaward-facing garden has been thoughtfully designed for low-maintenance coastal living. Arranged over two levels, it provides generous areas for al fresco dining, sun lounging and evening gatherings, with a dedicated space for a hot tub. To the rear, there is parking for two vehicles and a spacious garage, currently arranged as a games room.

The property has proven highly successful as a premium holiday rental while also serving as a cherished family retreat. It would, however, equally make an outstanding full-time coastal residence in one of Cornwall’s most desirable beachfront settings.
