The dual aspect lounge is particularly well proportioned with feature fireplace and a large picture window to the front giving sensational views out over Newquay Golf Course to the open sea and Fistral Beach. Also set to the front of the property is a large sitting room with a beautiful wide bow window that again provides exceptional views out over the coastline. The kitchen has recently been upgraded including a deep blue larder unit, white wall units and pale grey base units under white quartz worktops. In addition to integrated appliances there is also an Aga dual fuel range cooker and the dining area of the room has fitted seating below the windows. To the rear of the property is a guest bedroom which provides ideal overflow accommodation or alternatively could be used as a gymnasium or playroom. Also, on the ground floor there is a large utility room and shower room. On the first floor is a spacious galleried landing with window facing the views and again with high ceilings that are found throughout this floor. The master bedroom is a very good size and benefits from a picture window to the front enjoying stunning coastal views and is complemented by a well laid out en-suite bathroom. The second bedroom is equally impressive and features a lovely wide seafacing bow window. There are two further double bedrooms on the first floor (five in total). The family bathroom has been exquisitely fitted in a contemporary style with an oversized roll top bath, large shower enclosure and quality fittings including Villeroy & Boch ‘His and Hers’ wash basins and a separate wc. 4 Ref: LCAA7961 The garden has attractive level lawns to the front and rear of the property. Immediately in front of the entrance vestibule is a natural slate sun terrace with steps down to the front garden, all enjoying sensational views. To the rear of the property there is a more sheltered south facing patio – ideal for alfresco dining. The level lawned garden is given privacy with mature hedging and attractive borders and there is also a large barbecue and recreational area to the side. To the front there is an extensive brick paved driveway giving parking and turning space for numerous vehicles as well as access to the larger than usual double garage. LOCATION The availability of Compass North is one of those special opportunities to acquire a very distinctive 1930s coastal residence. The reception rooms are carefully planned to face in the direction of Fistral Beach and enjoy exceptional views across Fistral Bay to Towan Head and the open sea – a scene of constant interest. Pentire Road is very highly regarded, comprising predominately large detached coastal residences as well as select apartment buildings. Compass North is arguably in the best position on the whole road. A very short walk away, Fistral Beach is a World class surfing destination with many national and international championships taking place along its sandy shore. On the other side of Pentire headland and across the Gannel Estuary is the slightly less well known and more rugged Crantock Beach which is backed by high dunes in the ownership of the National Trust protecting the beautiful old village beyond. The town of Newquay caters for all day to day needs with plenty of national retailers, mixed with locally owned shops and a profusion of restaurants and bistros. The cathedral city of Truro, approximately 12 miles away to the South, provides first class shopping, business 5 Ref: LCAA7961 and commercial facilities, together with private schooling and a mainline railway station on the Penzance to Paddington line, with a journey time of approximately 4½ hours to London. Newquay airport, 6 miles away, offers daily flights to London as well as a number of other internal and international destinations, making this one of the most conveniently located as well as dramatically situated properties along the North coast of Cornwall.
