The Palm House, Mawgan Porth, is an exceptional contemporary coastal residence that combines architectural sophistication with an unrivalled beachside position. Perfectly poised above one of Cornwall’s most celebrated stretches of sand, this striking home offers a rare opportunity to secure a lifestyle defined by luxury, comfort and sweeping ocean vistas.
Set in the exclusive coastal village of Mawgan Porth, just a short stroll from the shoreline, The Palm House has been interior designed to exacting owner-occupier standards with an emphasis on light, space and seamless indoor-outdoor living. Its upper floor is dedicated entirely to a magnificent principal suite - a sanctuary of calm featuring a superking bedroom, private dressing room, elegant snug and a showpiece en-suite with freestanding bath, rainfall shower, twin basins and panoramic sea views that transform with the tides.
The ground floor unfolds into a spectacular open-plan living space where floor-to-ceiling glazing frames the coastal landscape.

The high specification kitchen/diner with bi-fold doors to the garden is fitted with premium appliances and generous preparation space, creating the perfect setting for both relaxed family gatherings and sophisticated entertaining.
Three further beautifully appointed bedrooms are positioned on another elevated level: a serene king-size, a restful smaller double and a bespoke designed bunk room sleeping for four complete with integral storage and work space. A stylish family bathroom, cloakroom and generous utility complete the internal accommodation.
Outside, the detached garden room/cabin - a versatile haven currently styled as a yoga studio and snug - has its own shower room, sink and fridge, ideal for guests, wellness pursuits or creative work.
Meticulously landscaped by award winning garden designer Sam Ovens, the established gardens extend to a dining terrace, complemented by a hot tub and barrel sauna for indulgent relaxation. The elevated position ensures captivating sea views from multiple vantage points. The attached garage offers excellent storage space and also doubles as a gym and surf store, while a private driveway accommodates up to three vehicles.
