With sociable open-plan living and wonderful original features, this charming home away from home is the perfect seaside retreat for a couple or family in the heart of St Ives. Located in a small row of cottages, it is hidden away in a raised position to afford some lovely harbour and sea views.
Step inside through the inviting farmhouse-style front door and be greeted by the warm and cosy open-plan ground floor. The space boasts an exposed brick wall and painted ceiling beams, adding character and charm to your stay. Curl up on the new comfortable sofa or relax on the statement chair in front of the coal-effect gas fire with a stone hearth, while enjoying your favourite TV shows or movies. The dining area, nestled in the light from the bay window, features a compact wooden table and chairs. Additional seating is available at the breakfast bar, partitioning off the well-equipped, contemporary kitchen. Upstairs, you’ll discover a bathroom, a bedroom featuring full sized bunk beds perfect for the little ones, and a master king-size room that benefits from magnificent sea views. Outside, you’ll find a small yard enclosed by a high stone wall that doubles as a bar-style table, complete with metal stools, where you can soak up the sunshine and admire the views. The property comes with a private garage nearby - perfect for storing bikes, wetsuits, surfboards, and beach equipment.
This picturesque fishing town has something for everyone, boasting a vibrant art scene that has attracted painters, sculptors, and ceramists for decades. Immerse yourself in culture at the renowned Tate St Ives or the Barbara Hepworth Museum and Sculpture Garden, both located less than 0.5 miles away. For bucket and spade days, you’ll be spoilt for choice with the many sandy beaches accessible within a few hundred metres. Alternatively, strike out along the South West Coast Path towards dramatic cliff-top vistas, then refuel in one of the town’s many fantastic cafes, pubs and restaurants.
