There’s a quiet kind of luxury to waking above the surf. Nestled in Higher Tristram, just a ten-minute stroll from Polzeath's sandy shore, Trewint offers a calm retreat at the end of each beachbound day. Behind its modest frontage lies a home that balances simplicity with style, thoughtfully designed for families, for surfers, and for those who appreciate the slower pace of coastal living.
Inside, whitewashed walls and curated canvases evoke the easy rhythm of summer. The single storey layout creates a sense of flow, with open spaces to gather and quieter corners to retreat. In the kitchen, soft buttermilk tones and sea blue walls echo the palette outside, while the round dining table invites relaxed meals and morning surf checks. Picture windows frame the ever-changing light, ensuring the view is never far from sight.
Beyond the main living area, a second lounge provides an informal space to unwind. Light filled and relaxed, with rattan furniture and wooden flooring underfoot, it opens directly onto the garden, perfect for younger guests or those seeking a little extra breathing space.
Step outside and the garden reveals itself as a private, sheltered sanctuary. The generous enclosed lawn offers space to roam, while the horizon stretches across Pentire Head to the Mouls. It is a place to pause and take in the stillness, where the soundtrack is distant waves and the hush of sea breeze.
As night falls, three beautifully styled bedrooms offer a place to rest. The master is elevated by its sea views and rich mustard and monochrome palette, with thoughtful details like leather handled cabinetry adding a tactile warmth. The second bedroom is light and cheerful, with golden hues and seagull motifs, while the third is finished in soft moss and vanilla and features a flexible zip and link bed to suit a variety of guests.
