The Penthouse, Carlton Apartments, Penzance, TR18 4NW

SETTING THE SCENE Penzance has long been celebrated for its thriving artistic community.

From the historic and gorgeous Georgian buildings of Chapel Street, including the remarkable Egyptian House, to the independent galleries and creative studios found throughout the town, Newlyn and nearby St Ives, art and craftsmanship are woven into the fabric of everyday life.

The renowned Penlee House Gallery and Newlyn Art Gallery are within an easy walk, reflecting a landscape that has inspired generations of artists.

But Penzance is equally defined by its connection to the sea.

One can swim safely in Mounts Bay immediately in front of the apartment or at the historic Art Deco Jubilee Pool, thoughtfully restored with its geothermal bathing pool, just a five minute stroll along the promenade.

The South West Coast Path passes the doorstep, leading west towards Newlyn, Mousehole, Lamorna and the spectacular Minack Theatre at Porthcurno.

Beyond, the Penwith Peninsula unfolds with dramatic cliffs, beautiful beaches, secluded coves, ancient stone circles and some of Cornwall's most breathtaking scenery.

Within walking distance, Penzance railway station marks the end of the main line, offering an overnight 'sleeper' service to London Paddington.

From the harbour, a regular ferry service departs for the Isles of Scilly, while Penzance Heliport provides year-round helicopter connections.

Compact and wonderfully walkable, the town is home to an excellent selection of independent cafés, restaurants, galleries and shops, all set against the ever-changing backdrop of Mount's Bay.

THE TOUR Occupying the uppermost floors of an elegant building on Penzance promenade, this large, bright, contemporary penthouse unfolds across two expansive levels, where every principal room has been designed to celebrate its remarkable south facing position overlooking Mount's Bay.

The lower floor is centred around a wonderfully sociable open-plan kitchen and dining space, opening directly onto the sea-facing balcony, with two beautifully appointed en suite guest bedrooms behind.

Upstairs, the principal sitting room commands uninterrupted panoramic views across the bay, complemented by a separate snug offering a quiet retreat.

The principal bedroom enjoys its own spectacular outlook, complete with balcony access and a beautifully designed en suite centred around a freestanding bath.

Throughout, elegant interiors, bespoke joinery, natural textures and an abundance of glazing come together in a understated way that allows the remarkable setting to remain the focal point, with every room carefully composed to frame the ever-changing light and coastline beyond.

STEP OUTSIDE A generous sea-facing balcony spans the front of the property, framing uninterrupted views across Mount's Bay towards the iconic silhouette of St Michael's Mount.

It's a wonderful spot for morning coffee, alfresco dining or simply watching the ever-changing coastal landscape.

To the rear, a private terrace offers a more sheltered setting, perfectly positioned to enjoy the afternoon and evening sun.

There is on-street parking directly outside the property and along the promenade, with additional parking available opposite at Wherrytown Car Park, where charges apply.
