Stratum

Introduction

Constructed by local craftspeople on Perranporth’s flaxen dunelands, on an ancient plot once earmarked as the 17th century Droskyn tin mines, Stratum is a modern Cornish beach house that tips its slate hat to welcome in newcomers. Serenity reigns at this hideout on high designed for upside-down-inside-outside living, where a striking spacious living space projects out over the lawn in a twisted cantilever. This is a luxury self-catering home that's part coastal gallery, part family retreat. 

Inside

As though balanced by some meditative Cornish giant, Stratum is coastal stone stacking in architectural form; a gravity-defying home where superstructure engineering hides beneath hand-tufted indigo rugs, floating staircases, and metallic orb chandeliers. A luxury self-catering beach house shaped from glass and stone, this Cornish getaway is truly at one with the elements. Despite the lashings of ethereal light from wraparound glass galore, Stratum still knows how to pack a cosy punch.

Outside

At Stratum, serenity reigns, morning cappuccinos are taken al fresco, the hot tub gurgles after hours, and the sea swell sends all to slumber. From balmy hazy summer seascapes to storm watching of a winter's day, Stratum, with its bird's eye vantage point means that you always know when to head for the surf. While little ones go shell hunting on bare morning beaches, eves are ended with barbecue skewers and s'mores whilst skies turn red above the Poldarkian countryside.
