  Location, location, location!.... The overwhelming appeal of this luxury apartment is that you can watch the breathtaking sunset over the Atlantic Ocean from outside on the decking area during the summer months or from the warmth and comfort of the sofa inside the property during the winter. Recently refurbished to a very high standard, Ocean View is a superbly appointed luxurious, stylish & contemporary apartment which is located at Nanpean Barn, an impressive granite building dating back over 100 years. The barn is situated just above the 16th tee of Cape Cornwall Golf Club and offers magnificent and panoramic views over the cape which is a designated area of outstanding beauty and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Cape Cornwall covers an array of outdoor activities including spectacular cliff top walking, cycling, swimming & golf. Within close proximity you will also find some of Cornwall's most beautiful beaches including Sennen Cove, Marazion and Carbis Bay to name a few. For the more adventurous, surfing and kite surfing are also on offer. The famous Minack Theatre is also just a short drive away and a must see during your visit. Temporary membership of the Golf and Country Club (next door) is available to guests (charges apply) and includes full use of all facilities including the 18 hole course, restaurant, bar, indoor swimming pool and additional sporting facilities. St. Just is a short stroll from Ocean View and offers a wide range of good local shops, pubs and restaurants.

  COAST – PENZANCE – SLEEPS EIGHT

  Three words sum up this newly constructed, architect designed house with panoramic views over the entire crescent of Mount’s Bay – stunning, sumptuous and most definitely luxurious! Coast is a beautifully appointed four bedroom property which has recently been completed in time for the ensuing season and boasts a host of luxurious benefits including a 50 inch plasma screen television, a basement “rumpus room” for the children (or adults!) complete with table tennis table, sofa and flat screen TV. Sensor and fibre optic lighting in the bathrooms for those romantic evenings! Under floor heating throughout with individual room controls and even an Astroturf lawn on the rear garden for uninterrupted sun bathing and plenty of Gin & Tonics! The owners of Coast - in conjunction with a local architect – set out to design and build a light, spacious and contemporary holiday home that meets the demanding criteria set by today’s discerning visitor and they have certainly succeeded. The house - which sits in a south facing position within a quiet residential area between Penzance and Newlyn - has been cleverly designed with bi fold sliding glass doors and Juliet balconies to the master bedroom and lounge. This feature enables guests to take full advantage of the glorious views over Mounts Bay which encompass the Lizard Peninsula, Porthlevan, Perranuthnoe, St Michael’s Mount, Marazion and Penzance to the east; and to the west lie the villages of Newlyn and Mousehole. The central location of Coast is a major benefit as a five minute walk will bring guests into the heart of Newlyn village where you can sample some of the finest fresh fish and seafood in the world! Five minutes in the other direction and you can walk along the promenade seafront to Penzance and the plethora of shops, top quality restaurants, pubs and galleries of this bustling regional hub. Air and sea links to the Isles of Scilly together with main line train connections to London are a short distance from the property. Coast is a fabulous and beautifully crafted holiday home in a much sought after location. It is therefore ideal for two families who wish to holiday together or for a smaller family who require additional space - but be warned! – It will not be a secret for long so book now to avoid disappointment!

  
  Oates, who began his working life underground at the age of 12 in the local Balleswidden Mine. A mine captain by the time he was 23, he emigrated to South Africa to seek his fortune. After only three years as a Mining Engineer with the De Beers Diamond Company, he was invited onto the board of directors eventually taking over as chairman of De Beers from Cecil Rhodes. During the early 1900s he returned to his beloved west Cornwall,where he built Porthledden House, the magnificent 21 bedroom mansion that currently stands like a sentinel guarding the Cape. He died in South Africa, stranded by the First World War and a memorial to him can be found in the local church in St.Just.The Cape is in fact now owned by food giant Heinz and has been given to the National Trust in perpetuity. It still plays a major part in local life, especially Priests Cove to the left hand side of the Cape with its small fishing community and home to the annual swim from the cove to the Brisons Rocks, approximately one mile from the shoreline.At low tide in the cove, one can still see the outline of the miners sea bath, a chilly reminder of the days when workers would emerge from the local mine and wash in the sea in all weathers before going home
