Occupying a prime location overlooking the famous surfing beach of Porthmeor, this stylish apartment offers the ultimate coastal escape for a couple or small family looking to enjoy the beaches and attractions of St Ives. Beach days are a given here, whether you want to hit the surf or try one of the more sheltered bays scattered around the town. St Ives has a rich artistic heritage, with Tate St Ives just over 300 metres along the beach road and the Barbara Hepworth Sculpture Garden less than half a mile away. It’s a lovely town to simply wander around, exploring narrow cobbled streets, independent shops, a picturesque fishing harbour, and a wonderful food scene. For a change of scenery, Land’s End is 19 miles away and the iconic, castle-topped St Michael’s Mount is just 9 miles.
This is a contemporary and compact apartment with unrivalled sea views that’s finished to a high standard throughout. Steps lead up to the front door and straight into the light and airy, open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner. The chic galley kitchen occupies one end of the room, next to the dining table. At the other end of the room, two comfortable sofas face each other next to a TV and large patio windows leading to the balcony. A door off the entryway takes you into the shower room and WC. There’s an open staircase off the lounge going up to a mezzanine bedroom with a king size bed (5ft) and a wash basin, that looks down on the lounge and out to sea. A sliding door separates the king size bed from a space containing twin beds.
The balcony offers a superb spot to watch sunsets and surfers, and enjoy a drink in the sea air. At the base of the property, there’s a pathway leading directly to the beach; note that in winter this can be impassable due to sand build-up.
