8, St Nicholas Court

Introduction

Number 8 is a spacious beach front apartment (the sound of the sea is clearly audible from the lounge and main bedroom), renovated to a high standard in the popular St Nicholas Court development, benefitting from a private covered parking space. Located on Porthmeor Road, Number 8 is perfectly situated to enjoy panoramic views across Porthmeor surf beach, whilst providing privacy from beach dwellers and (due to its private walkway) other residents in the block.

St Nicholas Court can be accessed through a gate on Porthmeor Road. Guests walk through a cobbled walkway and into the courtyard, which is well-maintained throughout the year by an on-site caretaker. The courtyard is home to the communal laundry room and a convenient outside shower, which can be used to wash sandy feet and wet suits.

Number 8 is located on the first floor of St Nicholas Court and is reached by walking up 17 steps. Access to the apartment is along a private walkway opposite the steps.

We aim to meet the needs of all of our guests. For guests with limited mobility or rely on the use of a wheelchair, there is a stair lift located on the stairs next to number 16. The key can be made available on request.

The apartment opens into a convenient hallway and is all on one level. To the left of the apartment there is a twin room, family bathroom and master suite with superking bed and ensuite shower room. The kitchen is to the right of the hallway and has a breakfast bar into the dining area. The large living and dining area stretches out towards the balcony and affords a splendid sea view. The balcony (which measures 116 cm in height) is accessed through sliding patio doors off the living room. The balcony has been fitted with safety glass.
