Living and eating
Step out from the elevator into the private entrance to discover open-plan living dreams, where luxe, modern interiors and abstract artwork pay homage to West Penthouse's coastal location. Taking centre stage is the sumptuous, teal-toned, velvet sofa by Duresta, set beside bi-fold glass doors, which lead you outdoors to the wildly beautiful ocean backdrop - a dreamlike setting for evenings spent beneath the cosmos. For those looking to settle indoors with a movie, there is also a Smart TV.
Nestled beside the window is an oak fluted dining table, with a pair of curved, cream boucle chairs for romantic low-lit banquets.
Mid-century meets modern in the sleek kitchen space, where you'll find bespoke, local walnut wood cabinetry and stunning Silstone quartz worktops. Discover everything you could require for culinary creation, including a two-zone wine cooler, oven and warming drawer, microwave, fridge, freezer, induction hob and dishwasher all by Miele.
Sleeping and bathing
Seek solace in the endlessly romantic bedroom, where calming neutrals and spellbinding shoreline vistas set the scene for slumber. Drift asleep to ocean lullabies in the boucle-lined, super-king-size bed, topped with a Hypnos mattress and draped in the finest Egyptian cotton linens. For those dreaming of morning lattes with a view, the otherworldly scenes of Porthminster beach await through the sliding balcony doors.
In addition, there is a darling dressing room next door - a mesmeric space to contemplate as you admire the changing tides below. Alongside a limewash dressing table with cane chair, is a burnt orange love seat with stool for those seeking a quiet spot to withdraw with a book.
