About this property
Westpoint is a contemporary holiday home in the small coastal village of Polzeath, set in an elevated position, just a five-minute walk from beach. Offering sociable, light and bright living across two floors, this four-bedroom property is a wonderful base for an extended family, or group of eight people looking to discover North Cornwall’s beautiful beaches and harbours.
Take in the mesmerising sea view from the sitting room, boasting sliding doors that frame the surrounding coastline and make the room flow into the furnished terrace and garden. Alternatively, on wintery days, make the most of the Jetmaster fire to warm up by after blustery beach walks, or if you’re brave enough, chilly wild swims!
Whether you are looking to prepare a picnic, Cornish cream tea or feast to enjoy indoors or alfresco, the well-equipped, stylish kitchen caters for your holiday requirements and even features the original Aga. Open-plan, the kitchen flows into the dining area, where natural light floods through, creating an inviting space to gather round the table and indulge in delicious dinners.
Making the most of the beautiful surrounding coastline, all three first floor bedrooms boast stunning sea views, including a double en-suite bedroom with a king-size bed, an additional double room and twin room. On the ground floor, there’s a nautical twin bedroom to rest tired heads.
With a family bathroom, shower room and an en-suite bathroom, there’s plenty of space for guests to shower off sand and salt following an afternoon of sandcastle building, and even soak tired limbs.
On sunny days, the terrace and garden really takes centre stage, offering ample room to play garden games and enjoy a refreshing beverage overlooking the seaside.
To the left of the property, a track leads to Polzeath’s popular surfing beach at the heart of the village, where you’ll also find surrounding businesses offering watersport equipment hire, cafés, shops and restaurants, as well as the South West Coast Path inviting explorers to discover the coastline.
Further afield is the chic village of Rock (3 miles), home to Paul Ainsworth’s popular restaurant ‘The Mariners’, a beautiful shingle beach, boutique shops and cafés. Or, hop aboard the ferry from Rock to visit the popular harbour town of Padstow for more award-winning restaurants and the famous Camel Trail for cyclists of all abilities.
Westpoint is a wonderful holiday home for families or groups, that’s ideally situated in an elevated position in Polzeath to enjoy beautiful views, yet is within just a short walk of the village’s amenities.
The bustling market town of Wadebridge is perfectly placed alongside the ebb and flow of the River Camel, an ideal location for exploring the natural beauty of North Cornwall. The town hosts an array of excellent shops, pubs and restaurants, all offering a personal and friendly service and is home to North Cornwall's only family-owned cinema. The beautiful countryside surrounding the town is criss-crossed with a network of local footpaths, amazing gardens and stately homes to explore, whilst the renowned Camel Trail passes through the town, providing 17 miles of fabulous, traffic free walking, horse riding and cycling opportunities. The stunning North Cornwall coast is within 5 miles, boasting a huge selection of beaches, rocky coves and towering cliffs to explore and the nearby town of Padstow, with its colourful harbour, pastel-washed, medieval houses and celebrated restaurants is a must. Visit the UK surfing capital of Newquay, with over 11 miles of golden sandy beaches, a fascinating sea life centre, exciting zoo and vibrant nightspots. Whatever your desire, there's something for everyone in this terrific holiday location.

I am 86 and found the stairs difficult and even dangerous as there is no handhold on the upper section. I could not occupy the downstairs bedroom as one of the family was awaiting a hip replacement so could not climb stairs at all. It would be a simple matter to fit a banister rail to the upper part of the stairs.

This year however, there where a few deteriorations as follows. The back kitchen door on to the patio has a non functioning handle, so both doors have to open as one.ed from the outside The french windows in the lounge appear not to work at all. The paint above all the windows in the bedrooms, most especially the mater, is flaking and peeling. There is a smell of drains from the utility, and downstairs shower room and bedroom. The washing line is extremely tangled and stretched, and doesnât rotate at all. However, it must be said that the house offers excellent general comfort and facilities, the garden was beautifully maintained, and the cleanliness of the house in general was excellent. Had I not stayed there so often before, I may not have even mentioned the things that need some attention, and apart from the back door, did not affect the holiday in general.
