Live life by the sea
CORNWALL
THE COURTYARD Situated above Duporth’s secluded private access beach overlooking St Austell Bay near the picturesque village and port of Charlestown, The Courtyard at Duporth is a unique collection of thirty-eight, 2 and 3 bedroom apartments, bungalows and houses. Centred around a landscaped courtyard and a Grade II listed clock tower, The Courtyard at Duporth is part of our Lifetime Living collection. Each home within this collection has been thoughtfully laid out and designed to a high specification with future adaptation taken into consideration. As well as featuring a southerly aspect, some homes also feature sea views. Residents can enjoy a scenic walk to the beach along a footpath in the private woodland which borders the eastern edge of The Courtyard.

DUPORTH Formerly the Rashleigh Estate and Manor, Duporth is located on the Cornish coast south of St Austell, at the heart of the “Cornish Riviera”. In the 1930’s Duporth became open to the public as a popular seaside holiday resort, entertaining and charming visitors with its peaceful secluded coastal surroundings until the end of the century. Direct access to one of the best beaches in England made Duporth the popular resort it was. Surrounded by woodland, the sheltered private beach at Duporth is among the best in the area, with calm waters to bathe in, a long stretch of sand and a mix of shingle and rock pools to enjoy. Porthpean Beach, equally appealing and very popular with fine sands is just under a mile away to the south.

DUPORTH TO CHARLESTOWN Located just over a mile and within walking distance from Duporth is Charlestown. Developed by Charles Rashleigh who constructed the town’s harbour and port to service the booming China Clay exports that St Austell was famous for. Now a Grade II listed World Heritage site, Charlestown retains much of its character and is a popular location for film and television locations, Poldark, Alice in Wonderland to name but a few. The 2019 Bafta award-winning film “Bait” was also part shot on location here. Charlestown boasts world class restaurants, bars and cafés such as The Longshore, Pier House Hotel and The Rashleigh Arms.

The Eden Project
View across St Austell Bay
OUR VISION From the outset, the main focus was to create a new community that was rooted in heritage, nature and the beauty of the surroundings.
All of the apartments and houses have been designed to balance comfort, privacy, light and flow of space whilst embracing the glorious ocean vista.
At the heart of the development is the Clock Tower, enhanced by its courtyard garden setting with native flower species and tranquil places to sit and soak up the Cornish sun. Around this are the old Manor Farm buildings which have been updated to provide comfortable homes whilst retaining the character and layers of history in the stonework and exposed trusses.
Nature threads its way through the site from the bee and bat friendly planting of the central courtyard to the grass roofs of the Bay View houses. The views of St Austell Bay are framed by Carrickowel Point to the west and Polperro Heritage Coast to the east. Architects Stride Treglown have designed a range of buildings and spaces all telling their own story, with a variety of character to suit differing needs and tastes. The common feature is a consistent attention to detail and quality, always making the most of light, space, outlook and nature.
Carefully designed to complement the existing buildings are a range of new houses and apartments which have a rhythm of gables and use zinc and stone to reflect the industrial heritage of the area.

PHILOSOPHY After 25 years of regeneration in Britain’s city centres, Acorn Property Group continues to focus its attention on the coast with the success of ‘Acorn Blue’.
Above; The Dunes, Perranporth. Below; Brandon Yard, Bristol.
Following the same design led ethos applied to our developments in London and more recently throughout England and Wales, Acorn Blue actively supports the rediscovery of some of the country’s favourite beachside resorts through outstanding new architecture and sensitive conversions. Acorn Blue offers properties without compromise, designed to bring the very best in contemporary living to some of the country’s most beautiful shores. Well thought out space designed to capture light and celebrate the views together with a superior standard of specification, creates the perfect home or retreat. As much of our coastline is bathed in history and designated areas of outstanding natural beauty, Acorn Blue produces sensitive developments that reflect and enhance their location whilst respecting the local environment. Through Acorn’s understanding of the ever changing nature of development, we hope to create some of our coastline’s most interesting and exciting new architecture.
