The Property
Situated in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, Llawnroc is an exceptional waterfront residence set on a gently sloping site with grounds that extends down to the mean high-water line. Thoughtfully designed to maximise the views from its commanding position, the architectural composition of Llawnroc is both striking and purposeful. The bedrooms are arranged to capture the morning light, while the principal living spaces enjoy sweeping views of the North Cornwall coastline. Arranged over two floors, with living accommodation positioned above the dining space below, the home has been finished with meticulous attention to detail, creating a refined yet comfortable coastal retreat. Externally, Llawnroc’s crisp, contemporary lines contrast beautifully with the natural landscape, while internally, full height glazing floods the interiors with light and perfectly frames the ever-changing seascape.

The main entrance is elegantly framed between the living and bedroom wings, where a glimpse of Will’s Rock beyond the angled wall offers a preview of the remarkable views that await within.

Location
A firm favourite with families, Porthcothan Bay is a quiet, northwest-facing cove backed by grassy dunes that is popular for sunbathing, dog-walking, and surfing at mid-low tide on a medium swell. Positioned south of Treyarnon Bay, between Newquay and Padstow, dog-friendly Porthcothan Beach, is one of the renowned 7-Bays for 7-days, with Lifeguard cover from the May until September, surf hire, parking, shops, and toilet facilities close by with beach level access. One of north Cornwall’s best kept secrets it has an expanse of sandy beach that opens out at low tide to connect up with smaller coves to the north and south. The beach shrinks dramatically at high tide but remains very sheltered thanks to the craggy cliffs either side. This section of the Southwest Coast Path is particularly spectacular, offering panoramic views from north to south across National Trust land, and is a relatively short walk to Bedruthan Steps, one of Cornwall's most impressive sights. Porthcothan Bay itself is in a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and home to a number of interesting rock formations including Will’s Rock.
