The far peninsula
Penhallow Point
A dune peninsula at the southern end of the coast, with four houses on it and no through road.
The place
Penhallow is the end of the coast road. The peninsula runs a mile and a half into the Atlantic on a spine of marram-held dune, and the track that serves it belongs to the four houses that share it. There is nothing beyond them.
Building on dune is a discipline. Foundations are piled well below the mobile sand, roofs are kept low against the wind, and planting is restricted to species that hold the dune rather than decorate it. The result is a group of houses that are almost invisible from the water and entirely private from the land.
The point is the quietest address Velora represents, and the least convenient. Groceries are a twenty-five-minute drive. In exchange you get a horizon on three sides, and the only stretch of this coast where you can walk for an hour in August without meeting anyone.
What it is like
- Four houses sharing a private track, with no through road
- Water on three sides and an uninterrupted western horizon
- Piled foundations and low rooflines, as dune building requires
- Twenty-five minutes from the nearest shop
