2 bed Flat For Sale £425,000
This two bedroom apartment retains much of the original charm and character of the building. It is centrally located on Draycott Terrace and has stunning views of Porthminster beach and St Ives. Complete with a balcony and parking the apartment makes an ideal family home or investment property.
Fabulous Location With Stunning Views!
Draycott Terrace and the row of houses at its far end, were created sometime during the mid 1860s on the southern part of the Warren Lands, St Ives, in a field then known as Coney Close'. Thirty years later, in 1894, the magnificently gabled terrace of granite town houses, with its distinctive ornate iron balcony railing, was designed by Cornwall's premier architect, Silvanus Trevail.
Silvanus, who grew up to become Mayor of Truro and President of the Society of Architects, is responsible for an incredible number of schools, libraries, banks, hotels, hospitals, churches and chapels, manor houses, workers' cottages and other beautiful buildings, Cornwall-wide.
With the 19th century's new excitement for rail travel, it is believed that the town houses on Draycott Terrace were planned as holiday accommodation. To this day there are several properties on Draycott Terrace that are enjoyed as both holiday homes and permanent residences, such as this apartment.
The apartment itself is quite central in the row and is positioned on the first-floor at the front of the building. As such, it enjoys magnificent views of Porthminster beach, the town and harbour and beyond to the Island and St Nicholls Chapel.
As the sun rises over Godrevy lighthouse the front of the apartment and balcony will be lit from early to mid-morning. As it sets on the Porthmeor side of St Ives the balcony and front of the apartment will again be lit in the late afternoon and early evening. Dependent on the weather and the time of year of course!
There is an allocated parking space in the car park at the bottom of Primrose Valley. The space is clearly marked and a good size. Very handy if you want to drop beach equipment at the car before you return to the apartment!
The parking space has a 999 year lease which is transferable on the sale of the apartment. In addition a parking permit is available from the Council for residents of Draycott Terrace. Day permits can be used by visitors and the parking is on a first come first served basis.
The apartment is held on a 999 year lease from 1 April 1987. In addition, all thirteen apartments have a share of the freehold and are part of the Management Company. Please note the lease does not permit pets.
Explore The Local Area:
With its turquoise seas, sandy beaches and sub-tropical plants, St Ives is hugely popular and its charm attracts many return visitors to the town both young and old. It is known for the quality of light and as such has enticed many artists to the town. Consequently there is a thriving artistic scene with many art galleries including the Tate St Ives and the Barbara Hepworth Sculpture Gardens.
By Road:
From the main A30 into Cornwall drive through the picturesque village of Lelant and Carbis Bay into St Ives. As you arrive in St Ives Draycott Terrace can be seen on the right.
By Rail:
The main line into London runs from Paddington to St Erth. There is then a short but spectacular rail journey from St Erth to St Ives.
Harding Laity Think:
