Cornish Development Suits Seekers Of ‘Blue Mind’ Lifestyle

It has been widely reported across the UK property market that many homeowners, and those considering a first home, are now looking more to the countryside and coast as an ideal location to live.

The term ‘blue mind’ was coined a few years ago by respected marine biologist, Wallace J Nichols, to describe “the mildly meditative state we fall into when near, in, on, or underwater.”

Stephens + Stephens is a developer of luxury boutique properties at some prime locations along the Cornish coast which might be an ideal choice for those seeking sea views to achieve what Nichols called “elevated and sustained happiness.”

One of its current schemes is called Cliff Edge, a development of 39 whitewash-styled, Mediterranean-inspired apartments situated above Tolcarne Beach in Newquay, 35 of which have panoramic views perfect for owner-occupiers, buy-to-let investors or holiday home seekers.

In addition to things such as porcelain tiled bathrooms, contemporary sanitaryware, designer kitchens, lots of storage and multiple secure underground parking spaces, there are light and airy finishes, as well as fully glazed patio doors leading onto to balconies for all apartments allowing for enjoying sunrises, sunsets and stargazing.

Specification has been complemented by the expertise of Cornish interior design agency, Absolute, which also offers turnkey interior design service at no additional cost, with furniture and finishes coming at an additional cost.

Newquay itself is home to boutique hotels, new food and drink offerings (Rick Stein moved in a couple of years ago) and with working from home a growing, practical trend for many, the town has the benefit of numerous hot-desking work spaces. There are no fewer than seven beaches and many facilities for outdoor activities for people of all ages, as well as practical things such as easy access to the A30 and a fast-growing, well-served airport.

Apartments at Cliff Edge currently start at £235,000.
