Location

Cornwall’s unique character comes from its historic landscape and some 400 miles of spectacular coastline. This modern contemporary property built only two years ago faces due East and has views over Carbis Bay and beyond. It is a mile by car, or less using footpaths, to Carbis Bay beach. The beach rarely has any surf so makes for an ideal spot for families as the sea here is perfect for swimming. It is also one of beaches that make up St Ives Bay, listed as one of the world’s best by the Most Beautiful Bays in the World Organisation, the beach at Carbis Bay is surrounded by sub-tropical plants and lapped by turquoise waters.

St Ives centre and harbour is just over two miles away and is home to the landmark Tate St Ives Gallery (built in 1993) the famous Barbara Hepworth Museum and the equally famous Bernard Leach Pottery. St Ives is bordered by three beautiful sandy beaches which are repeatedly voted among the best in the British Isles, one (Porthmeor) 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, set right upon the beautiful calm beach.
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.
