Enjoy a front-row seat to all the seaside fun in this characterful apartment in St Ives. Moments from historic Smeaton’s Pier and the glorious Harbour Beach, this sought-after property with a huge living room bay window provides a much-loved base for a family of four seeking to spend more time on the coast.
Wander up the cobbled street, where three steps welcome you into your private hallway. After a long day of sandy adventures, settle down in the elegant living/dining room, where you’ll be instantly drawn to the large bay window offering first-class views of the boats bobbing along the harbour. When tummies rumble, cater for your party in the colourful kitchen and recharge your batteries with dinner served at the table. On balmy evenings, catch up with your closest family with a glass of bubbles, or check the tide levels from the window and head out for a late-night dip. At the end of the day, soak tired muscles in a steaming bubble bath and claim either the double bedroom or the twin room. When morning rolls around, whip up a tasty breakfast of eggs and bacon, and ponder over the day’s plans while feasting.
Spend mornings building epic sandcastles on St Ives Harbour, sampling succulent cream teas, and venturing around the artist sculptures of Barbara Hepworth. Watch the fishermen at work with a wander over to Smeaton’s Pier, where ancient St Leonard’s Chapel has been a place of worship since medieval days. St Ives has some of the best beaches in the UK, with crystal clear waters and golden sands. Bamaluz and Lambeth Walk Beach are well worth a visit and are within walking distance of the home. Finish the day with an indulgent scallop dinner at one of the many available seafood restaurants.
