3 3 DESCRIPTION The Windward is a very prominently located detached thirteen en-suite bedroomed hotel with an attached two bedroomed owner s accommodation to the side. The hotel is exceedingly well placed about 100 yards walk from Porth Beach and enjoys fantastic panoramic views over the large golden sandy expanse with a ribbon of broad stream running across it making it a very family friendly beach. It is also one of the more protected beaches around Newquay making it ideal for bathing. The mouth of the beach is protected by headlands, although between them are excellent surfing conditions, with the current European long board champion having grown up at this beach. The views also extend out over a grass expanse on the opposite side of the road to the headland and across Newquay Bay towards landmark buildings and coastline beyond. The location is obviously a tremendous draw for holidaymakers and there are numerous guests who repeat book year after year. The hotel is to be sold as a going concern to include all the fixtures and fittings (excluding personal effects) and is ideal for those either trading up from a smaller establishment or for someone looking for a change of lifestyle who can step straight into an up and running business right beside the beach. In addition to the contents, the ongoing trade, bookings and website content will also be included. The building has been well maintained and is set back from the coast road behind cut stone walls topped with palms and flowering plants which create an attractive foreground from the large decked terrace to the front and the first floor balconies. To the side is a wraparound conservatory 36 x 25 approx that is used as part of the breakfast dining room and from

On the opposite side of the building, beyond the central reception hall is an L-shaped lounge bar with a fitted traditional bar and numerous seating areas from where to enjoy the spectacular views through to nearly entirely double glazed walls with a broad pair of double glazed doors opening onto the large elevated decked terrace. The entrance hall leads past the broad staircase rising to the first floor to the reception which has an office to its rear, with tasteful separate ladies and gents toilets off an inner hall and a further door opening into the kitchens which are extensive and fitted with stainless steel commercial units and a huge range of cooking appliances. To the side of the kitchen is a store room with space for freezers etc and from here a door opens into the owner s accommodation. Off an inner hall on the ground floor are two double bedrooms and a single that are positioned to the rear of the building and are all en-suite. The majority of the bedrooms are found at first floor level with a central landing leading to four double bedrooms and two twins with valley views to the rear and at the front are four further double bedrooms, with all of the bedrooms being en-suite. Two of the front bedrooms are considered premier rooms and attract 135 and 140 per night and each of these has its own large decked balcony with space for sun loungers and a table and chairs.

5 glimpses of the beach. In addition there is also a further bedroom, bathroom and a study or third bedroom, with the kitchen in the hotel being used for meals.

5 5 glimpses of the beach. In addition there is also a further bedroom, bathroom and a study or third bedroom, with the kitchen in the hotel being used for meals. A broad tarmac splay between the stone walls leads onto the attractive frontage edged by its stone walls, hedges and Cornish palms etc. The drive leads around to a sizeable car park to the side and rear of the hotel with an area that can be cordoned off for use by staff etc. A covered veranda over a deck protects a door into the kitchen in the hotel and also doors into a further store room and the study in the owner s accommodation. A double garage with an electrically operated door is attached to the rear of the building although this is currently used as a store, workshop and laundry. The hotel has a generous lawned guests garden at the rear and this faces south overlooking the valley behind Porth Beach as well as the upper part of Porth Beach itself. To the side of this is a particularly pleasing stone faced bin store and there is also a tiled roofed barbecue area which can be used whilst entertaining guests during the summer months. Secreted behind store sheds and wooden fencing is an upper area of the garden that is currently retained for the use of the hotel owner s and staff and in the most elevated part is a summerhouse with a fantastic outlook. PLANNING PERMISSION Planning permission was passed on the 11 th December 2012 for Planning Application PA12/0854 for an erection of a first floor extension to the existing hotel with fire escape. The design extends over the top of the current owner s accommodation and creates a selfcontained two bedroomed lettings apartment with a first floor balcony. A previously passed design added this space to the owner s accommodation giving additional bedroom space and a large first floor private kitchen and living area with views to the sea, so it may

6 6 be possible to amend the current approved planning permission should this design be more appealing. LOCATION Porth Beach is one of the most beautiful beaches along this stretch of coastline as it is sheltered by Trevelgue Head and has a stream flowing across it making it ideal for children to play. Porth is a well protected and safe surfing beach that is ideal for families and becomes less crowded than many of the other beaches around Newquay. On the far side of Newquay is the world famous Fistral surfing beach which hosts international events and concerts throughout the summer. To the north of Porth is Watergate Bay, one of Cornwall s longest unbroken stretches of beach which is favoured by kite surfers, whilst those looking for gastronomic delights can enjoy food at Jamie Oliver s Fifteen restaurant at Watergate. A short drive along the beautiful north coast road leads past other famous beaches including Porthcothan, Treyarnon, Constantine and Harlyn before arriving at the delightful harbourside town of Padstow on the edge of the Camel Estuary, where there are further fine restaurants including Rick Stein s and from here there is access to sailing and waterskiing. There are local services in Porth with both primary and secondary schools nearby, whilst Newquay has a full range of facilities including local and national retailers, supermarkets, a sports centre and a train station on a branch line which links to the main Penzance to Paddington line. The capital city of Cornwall, Truro, is about ½ an hour s drive away to the south and has the county s largest range of facilities and amenities. Just to the north is Newquay International Airport at St Mawgan which has flights to London and other internal and international destinations and pilots have stayed at The Windward Hotel on stopovers.
