Pentowan House - Sea View 2 Bed Penthouse – Steps from Harbour, Beaches & Golf Course!

***Stunning Coastal Penthouse with Panoramic Sea Views – A True Turn-Key Opportunity***
Perched in an enviable position overlooking the iconic Newquay Harbour, town and surrounding golden beaches, this immaculately presented two-bedroom penthouse apartment offers an exceptional coastal lifestyle. With breathtaking panoramic sea views from every room, this is a rare opportunity to own a slice of Cornwall’s most sought-after coastline.

Set within the impressive and highly regarded Pentowan House, this apartment forms part of one of Newquay’s most striking and historic coastal buildings. Built in 1880 by American Civil War and silver mining adventurer George Hicks on the prestigious Treffry Estate, it quickly became one of the most distinguished residences in the area. Steeped in history, the building has even hosted royal visitors including Edward VIII and Prince Albert (later George VI). Today, it has been sympathetically converted into exclusive apartments, blending period grandeur with modern coastal living in an iconic and highly desirable setting.

Beautifully and thoughtfully renovated to an exacting standard, the apartment is presented in impeccable condition throughout, combining high-end finishes with timeless character. Currently operating as a highly successful holiday let, it offers outstanding versatility—equally suited as a luxurious main residence, idyllic holiday home, or lucrative investment.

Living Space & Kitchen
The heart of the home is the stunning open-plan living space, stretching over 12 metres and flooded with natural light. Expansive windows and Velux balcony skylights perfectly frame the ever-changing coastal vistas, creating a spectacular backdrop for both relaxing and entertaining.

The beautifully upgraded kitchen is both stylish and functional, featuring a new Neff oven and hob, integrated fridge, freezer, dishwasher and washer/dryer, alongside an impressive extra-large GEC Anderson sink. Thoughtful details such as hand-finished cupboard doors, beeswax handles and artisan hooks add warmth and individuality.

The living area is equally inviting, centred around a charming Everhot electric stove, with carefully curated furnishings including Loaf sofas and chairs, Weaver Green textiles and Pooky lighting—creating a luxurious yet relaxed coastal feel.

Reading Room / Snug
A standout feature is the charming reading room, complete with dramatic vaulted ceilings and impressive Velux balcony skylights. This tranquil space is perfect for morning coffee or unwinding with a book, filled with natural light and the calming backdrop of the sea.

Bedrooms & Bathrooms
The apartment boasts two beautifully designed double bedrooms, both enhanced by clever use of space within the eaves to create walk-in wardrobes. There remains further potential to extend storage within the eaves if desired.

Both bathrooms have been renovated to an exceptional standard, featuring:

• Tumbled Italian travertine floor tiles
• Period panelling from the English Panelling Company
• Burlington sanitaryware
• Roper Rhodes basin units and taps
• High-quality fittings including artisan mirrors, lighting and fixtures
• The family bathroom is a true sanctuary, complete with a roll-top bath and elegant coastal styling, while the principal en-suite continues the same high-end finish. There is also scope to further enhance the master bathroom, with additional ceiling space offering potential for storage or expansion.

Throughout the Property
Attention to detail is evident in every corner, with features including:

• Hand-finished antique brass switches and sockets by Corston Architectural
• Reclaimed Victorian doorknobs
• Natural seagrass carpets adding warmth and a subtle coastal scent
• A recently installed Worcester Bosch combi boiler (approx. 2 years old)
• Every element has been carefully considered to create a cohesive, high-quality finish throughout.

Closing
