The Garden-
The Elms sits at the end of Riverside, a private lane, and the driveway slopes down from Riverside to a gravelled parking area with room for four cars on the right of the house.
The garden is to the front of the house which has been terraced creating three levels of lawns with steps down between each level and stretching down to the Saltings and the South West Coast Path. The left side of the garden is fenced to the neighbouring property with a mix of mature shrubs and plants and on the right a mix of shrubs and trees. At the bottom of the garden is a low-level wall with a gate giving access on to The Saltings and the South West Coast Path with the Lelant Train station being approximately one hundred metres to the right offering a spectacular 10 minute scenic coastal ride to St Ives town centre, stopping at Carbis Bay on the way or 5 minutes to St Erth and the main London to Penzance line. A pedestrian crossing over the train line at Lelant station allows direct access to the Hayle estuary and RSPB nature reserve, home to a wide variety of wetland birds throughout the year.
Rear Courtyard-
Accessed via a gate off the driveway the walled rear courtyard wraps round the rear of the property. There are two access points from the house, one from the kitchen and another from the utility/wet room. The courtyard area itself is west facing with beautiful morning sunshine, it has white walls, is laid to gravel and what was once a coal bunker which is recessed under Riverside is now a good log or storage area. There is also a hot & cold shower with both an overhead and handheld heads perfect for both sandy humans with wetsuits and surf boards, and sandy dogs returning from the beach.
