Situation
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
The Bungalow
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.
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.
A useful basement storage area exists at lower ground floor level measuring 16'6 x 8'.

Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength: obtained from Ofcom on April 4, 2022
Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:
Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services
