PROPERTY DETAILS
Beachside & Rigi are situated in an extremely rare plot on Tristram Cliff directly overlooking Polzeath beach with a combined 100 linear meters of land directly fronting the Southwest Coast Path and offering exceptional, panoramic sea and coastline views. The properties are surrounded by well-established grounds with a lawned area extending down to the Southwest coast path providing direct access over the footpath and onto the beach. Approached across a private access road, this substantial plot offers an exciting redevelopment opportunity, subject to the necessary planning permissions.
PLANNING PERMISSIONS
Beachside Plots - A Certificate of Lawful Development has been granted (1st March 2024) for the original planning permission: a Proposed Use for demolition of existing house and annexe and replacement with 2 dwelling houses under PA15/10720 (granted on 24th June 2016). This confirms that a start was made in the permitted works, by way of the demolition of buildings on site within the statutory time period. Accordingly, the planning permission is extant, although the broader site area has now changed.
RIGI
With front row seat views to Polzeath’s sunsets, Rigi is a classic Cornish beachside bungalow built in the 1950s and a successful holiday rental up until 2024. Arranged with 3 bedrooms, two bathrooms (one en-suite), a kitchen, and a centrally positioned open plan sitting & dining room with a large bay window. The elevated clifftop position and Rigi’s northwest orientation, allows for sweeping beach, sea and coastline views from all the principal rooms and bedrooms.
BEACHSIDE
A single storey cottage set back and to the rear of Rigi, Beachside is laid out with 2 bedrooms, one bathroom, a conservatory, kitchen and sitting/dining room. The property is not considered habitable.
Polzeath is a highly desirable coastal village, with a vast expanse of golden sand, excellent surf conditions, and scenic coast path walks. The Southwest Coast Path passes directly to the front of Rigi’s garden, with access down onto the beach below. Nearby in Rock and Daymer Bay the conditions are ideal for sailing, water-skiing, and windsurfing, while the renowned St Enodoc Golf Club and The Point at Polzeath, both offer excellent 18-hole courses. Polzeath is fortunate to have a variety of excellent places to eat and drink such as TJ’s Surf Café, The Waterfront, The Oystercatcher, The Cracking Crab and Surfside, but there is also a wealth of excellent restaurants and pubs in the surrounding area including Rick Stein’s and Paul Ainsworth’s No 6 in Padstow, Nathan Outlaw in Port Isaac, and The Mariners in Rock. The ferry and water taxi in Rock make travelling to Padstow easy and enjoyable. Most everyday shopping requirements can be met locally, but the market town of Wadebridge, with a collection of independent shops and supermarkets, is just seven miles distant.

The generous lawned garden wraps around the front of both properties and slopes gently down towards the coast path providing uninterrupted views of the beach and the coastline. A pathway and gate open directly onto the Southwest Coast Path footpath providing an ideal short cut down onto the beach. The village amenities are just a very short walk away along the path from Higher Tristram. The driveway to Rigi has been diverted along an existing access road off Dunders Hill.
