Enjoying captivating coastal views to Man’s Head, over Porthmeor Beach and across to Godrevy Lighthouse, this single storey residence with detached annexe is set in unusually large and thoughtfully landscaped gardens with total area of 0.29 of an acre.
In an elevated position in St Ives, the large picture windows and sun terraces at the front of the property enjoy panoramic views over Porthmeor Beach, dramatic surrounding coastline and out to sea. Indeed, it is possible to see weather fronts rolling in and incredible sunrises and sunsets from this spectacular vantage point.
The garden is full of beautiful mature shrubs, plants and trees, with plenty of areas of shade to escape the strong Cornish sun.
Location
The town is five to ten minutes walk away and is full of fantastic eateries, cafes and independent shops, including tasty seafood at the nearby Porthmeor Beach Café.
The property is in an incredible position in St Ives, which has many galleries, from the Tate, the Penwith Gallery, the wonderfully preserved Barbara Hepworth Museum and Sculpture Garden, and Leach Pottery, as well as many smaller, independent galleries.
It is also home to an array of beautiful beaches and scenic coastal walks from the 630-mile South West Coast Path which runs within 400m of the property and continues through St Ives and offers fantastic walks in both directions. Heading west leads to the pretty village of Zennor and further to the Penwith peninsula. East leads towards Portreath and Newquay. While nearby Porthmeor is probably its most popular, there's a smaller cove on The Island, a stretch of headland crowned by a fishermans’ chapel complete with fishing-themed tiles by Bernard Leach. In terms of transport links, there are direct trains from Paddington to nearby St Erth in under 5 hours, and another connecting train from there to St Ives in 10 minutes.
The Property
Entry to the bungalow is through a wide entrance hall with doors to the open plan kitchen diner and sitting room which is a wonderful space for taking in the views. There is a tasteful soft cream ‘Shaker’ style fitted kitchen with combination of wall and floor mounted cupboards and drawers and useful worktops. The kitchen area enjoys north facing coastal views to Man’s Head and looks over the open plan dining and sitting room which is dominated by the truly captivating 180 degree beach and coastal views.
With tasteful light white decorations and many hardwood internal doors, central heating is provided by a mains gas boiler and windows are uPVC double glazed for lower maintenance.
An inner hall leads to four bedrooms, cloakroom WC, shower room and family bathroom. Three of these bedrooms enjoy the amazing sea views to the north-east including the triple aspect master bedroom at one end.
The detached one bedroom self-contained annexe is situated to west of the main residence and, again offers comfortable centrally heated accommodation with fully fitted kitchen, double bedroom, attractive bath/shower room and good sized sun room with glazed roof and fantastic sea views to Man’s Head.
A useful basement storage area exists at lower ground floor level measuring 16'6 x 8'.
It is possible that some buyers may consider redevelopment of this extremely valuable site, subject to consents.
Outside
Approached via the private Westward Road off Porthmeor Hill, the plot extends to around 0.29 of an acre, and has been cleverly landscaped with many level lawned and paved areas complimented by a number of mature flowering shrubs and plants including Agapanthus, Hydrangeas, Honeysuckle and Fuchsias. A large tarmacadamed parking area can reputedly park up to ten cars.
