The Best Coastal Town New Homes In Cornwall

Posted 1 December 2023 by Keith Osborne

We take a look at some of the best current new home developments in coastal towns in Cornwall…

Cornwall’s reputation as one of the UK’s top coastal holiday destinations means there is strong demand for new homes in seaside and port towns there, as a permanent place to live or as a holiday home.

Housebuilders are busy building some impressive new homes across the county and we take a look at the very best of them. All special offers and incentives mentioned are for a limited time and subject to terms and conditions.

The best new homes for sale in Bude

Right in the north of Cornwall, close to the border with Devon, Bude’s town centre has a good range of shops and amenities, and its variety of beaches make it appealing for relaxing and active residents and visitors. For a drink or meal, traditional seaside takeaways are complemented by some highly rated pubs and restaurants. There are plenty of other leisure and activities options too, including several sports clubs. There’s a cinema just south of the town on the A39, a road which links Bude with the likes of Wadebridge and Bideford. For families, there are a number of schools in the area rated ‘Good’ by Ofsted.

Cavanna Homes is progressing well at Bellevue, its development of 144 new homes just east of town in Stratton. The two-, three- and four-bedroom houses come in a range of styles inspired by local traditional design, but with a high-standard specification. A marketing suite and show home are open from Thursday to Monday between 10.00am and 5.00pm. There are currently some excellent limited-time offers: Plot 85 and Plot 86 are four-bedroom houses available with Stamp Duty paid; and two examples of the three-bedroom ‘Bracken’, starting at £330,000, come with a six-month mortgage contribution deal. Find out more.

LiveWest is offering an opportunity to purchase at this development through Shared Ownership. Buyers can purchase from 40% of a new two-bedroom mid-terrace house from £104,000 (full market price £260,000). There’s a subsidised rent on the remaining 60%. Over time, the owner can buy further shares (called ‘staircasing’) until they own 100% of the property. Find out more at www.livewest.co.uk.

Burrington Estates’ Maer View is an exclusive collection of 21 four-bedroom houses located off Poughill Road. Green features include air-source heat pumps providing underfloor heating to the ground floor, with the option for PV solar panels and electric car charging points. ‘The Lapwing’, from £675,000, has a large open-plan kitchen/dining/snug area dominates the rear with both bi-fold and French doors to the garden. The ground floor also has a utility room, lounge, cloakroom and home office room. Two of the four comfortable double bedrooms come with an en suite, the others share a family bathroom. This home comes with integrated single garage and a parking provision for two cars. Find out more at www.burringtonestates.com.

 

The best new homes for sale in Duporth

Duporth is on the southern outskirts of St Austell on Cornwall’s south coast. It used to be a holiday resort, popular for its sandy beach and panoramic views out to sea. The town centre is only a couple of miles away, so there’s a host of useful shops and services within easy reach as well as numerous schools, restaurants, a three-days-per-week market, and an historic brewery. Among the popular local destinations is the Eden Project. St Austell’s station offers direct services to the likes of London, Cardiff and Penzance.

Acorn Property Group is nearly sold out at The Courtyard at Duporth, a collection of 38 homes centred around a landscaped courtyard and a Grade II listed clock tower. Exclusive to over-55s, the remaining two-bedroom apartments have been designed with future adaptation taken into consideration. There’s a contemporary look inside and out, with modern architecture, fitted kitchens, integrated appliances, underfloor heating and electronic programming for heating system. Outside are covered private parking spaces. The remaining homes start at £430,000. Find out more.

Hayle has a rich history as a thriving port in the heyday of the coal, copper and tin industries in Cornwall, and is now set within the boundaries of Hayle Conservation Area and the World Heritage Site for Cornwall & West Devon. Thanks to three miles of sandy beaches, it has become a popular holiday destination and offers residents and visitors essentials locally and in St Ives, just a few miles away. The A30 provides easy access to towns such as Penzance, Redruth and Truro, and the town’s railway station offers direct services to Penzance, Plymouth and other cities.

North Quay (Corinthian)

Developer Corinthian is behind the North Quay development which is transforming a derelict site into a contemporary new coastal district with around 500 new homes complemented by shops, public open spaces and water sports facilities. Located between the Hayle Estuary Nature Reserve and a three-mile stretch of a sandy beach, North Quay is a beach-ready collection of one-, two- and three-bedroom waterfront homes. The homes are located within walking distance of beaches, coastal trails, supermarkets and restaurants in Hayle. St Ives is just a short drive away, and the development is well connected, with direct trains to London Paddington from Hayle, Newquay airport is less than an hour away, and the A30 is a five-minute drive away, giving residents easy access to the West Country roads. Prices at the development range from £550,000 to £920,000. Find out more.

The best new homes for sale in Padstow

This historic fishing port is now better known as a place to visit a number of well-known restaurants and bars, as is the village of Rock on the opposite side of the River Camel. Non-gourmets will also find great reasons to live in the town, with its attractive harbour and proximity to numerous beaches and scenic walks along the north Cornwall coastline. In addition to its own shops and amenities, there are a number of major towns within 30-45 minutes’ drive, such as Newquay, Truro and Bodmn.

Harlyn Bay is just a couple of mile west of Padstow and it’s where Harrington Homes has had success at its development of high-specification flats. There are still a few opportunities to purchase here. Karrek @ Harlyn Bay is a luxury collection of just 14 two- and three-bedroom apartments and duplex homes with a prime beachside location. One of the properties still available is Plot 5 at £750,000, a duplex with two double bedrooms (one with en suite, the other with private balcony), and a large, open-plan kitchen/dining/living room with doors to a larger balcony. There’s private parking too. Find out more at harrington-homes.co.uk.

Down the River Camel from Padstow and Rock, the market town of Wadebridge has its own range of independent shops and essentials and the nearby A39 puts many other towns in close reach. Well-regarded schools will attract families, and the annual summer Royal Cornwall Show will appeal to anyone for its themes of agriculture, food, music, arts & crafts and fairground. Bovis Homes’ development The Cornish Quarter caters for a range of budgets with its variety of two- to five-bedroom homes, and schemes such as Home Reach and Home Exchange could be the answer to a first or next brand new home.
