House For Sale £950,000
Quay Street, St. Ives, Cornwall TR26

Pier House is a landmark property located by Smeatons Pier on Quay Street with far reaching views over the harbour and sea front and across the bay towards Carbis Bay and Heritage Coast.

Location

Cornwall’s unique character comes from its historic landscape and some 400 miles of spectacular coastline. This unique property occupies a magnificent setting on the harbour side with direct access to the beach Home to the landmark Tate St Ives Gallery (built in 1993) and the famous Barbara Hepworth Museum, St Ives is bordered by three beautiful sandy beaches which are repeatedly voted among the best in the British Isles, one particularly for surfing. Set against the colourful backdrop of the working fishing harbour, the turquoise waters of St. Ives have attracted artists since the 19th century due to its renowned clarity of light. The town, with winding cobbled streets, is also a ‘foodie’ destination packed with numerous restaurants, pubs and cafes all offering excellent fare including the award-winning Porthminster Beach Café.

At nearby Lelant, overlooking the Hayle Estuary there is a spectacular links golf course with views stretching up towards Godrevy Lighthouse. A scenic branch railway line links Carbis Bay and St. Ives with the main London-Penzance line at nearby St. Erth.

Description

The current owners have owned the property for 16 years and use it both personally and as a very successful holiday let. The house has great character with many original features and is decorated very tastefully throughout to a high standard.

The ground floor of the building is rented out to The Pier Coffee Bar, a successful local business of over eight years standing providing an annual rental income.

The entrance is off Quay Street opening into a ground floor lobby with space for shoes and coats with stairs leading up to the first floor landing which has a window overlooking the seafront. On the right is a separate storage cupboard and cloakroom and to the left the main living area. This is a large triple aspect room with harbour, beach and sea views from all windows. The well equipped kitchen area has painted solid oak cream kitchen units with black granite work surfaces, a central island, built in Siemens Oven, separate combination Microwave/Oven and Gas Hob, separate Washing Machine, Fridge & separate Freezer.

The living/dining area has a remote controlled gas fire, original recessed cupboards and shelving and part wood panelled walls.

Stairs up from first floor landing to the second floor to a light and spacious landing with views from the window out over the seafront. There are three bedrooms, one is a single room that is currently configured with bunk beds, the other two are both double rooms one having both original built in wardrobes and ensuite shower room.

The family bathroom is across the landing with perhaps the best view from a “Loo Seat” you will ever see!

Stairs lead up from the second floor to the top floor. This is a triple aspect room currently configured as a secondary sitting room but would also make a superb bedroom. The view from the bench seat in the front bay window is spectacular as most of St Ives can be seen along with the harbour, Porthminster Beach and out across the bay to Carbis Bay, Godrevy Lighthouse and the beaches beyond.
