Perched high above the sands of Polzeath Beach, this brand-new, designer-led retreat offers sublime escapism throughout the seasons where everchanging ocean vistas form your holiday backdrop.

Description


Situated sixty metres above sea level in the stunning heights of Polzeath, Turnstones is sure to create an impression from the moment you arrive. This new low-energy, sustainable and contemporary family holiday home is designed by local award-winning architects and epitomises clean-line appeal. A fusion of architectural finishes creates breathtaking angles and forms a dramatic contrast with the wildflower roof giving panoramic views of the Atlantic Ocean below.

The design of the interior spaces has been influenced by the architecture and the desire to create a fun and stylish holiday experience. Every detail has been considered and nothing overlooked. Modern-designer flourishes and original artwork create the ultimate self-catering property. The contemporary, spacious living and dining areas are the perfect place to host family gatherings, with the view from the huge sliding windows framing the outlook to Pentire Point.

The backdrop to the elevated kitchen is a bespoke black and white photographic scene of 1920’s Polzeath, a stunning comparison with the actual view. The beautiful stone island is the hub of the kitchen, and everything has been thought through in meticulous detail to provide a state-of-the-art easy to use kitchen. A hidden pantry provides great storage and a breakfast or coffee station.

There are four blissful bedrooms complete with super-king beds and luxurious en-suite bathrooms. The master bedroom is finished in tones of chic white, yellow and black with glass doors opening out to the covered deck. Occupying the garden wing, a second bedroom offers a calming haven of blush pink tones, and the third spacious bedroom finished in warm terracotta boasts a large shower room (fully accessible for those requiring it) and direct access to the garden terrace. Head to the ground floor for bedroom four beautiful in blue with view to Pentire Point - this family en-suite provides a bath for little ones together with a powerful overhead shower.

The secure back garden provides a sheltered haven for al fresco living. Pad barefoot onto the warm wood decking and curl up on the vast corner sofa with your holiday novel. Two wicker sun loungers sit on vibrant green turf taking in the views down to the beach. At the end of the garden, a long wooden eight-seater dining table provides the setting for holiday barbecues, surrounded by wildflower meadow and an old apple tree, a six-person hot tub sits alongside green olive trees. Here you can spend endless evenings admiring the views.
