Located on the Island in St Ives and just fifty metres from Porthmeor Surfing beach, Number One The Ropewalk is a luxurious one-bedroom loft style apartment.

Description

The Ropewalk is a long straight lane close to Porthmeor Beach which would have originally been used for laying out fishing ropes for the fish salting cellars on the beach. Number 1 The Ropewalk is only fifty metres from the beach so due to its position and vaulted ceiling it is likely that it was formerly fisherman’s net loft. The property has undergone an extensive refurbishment program by the current owners and is now a luxury loft style apartment, with an integral garage, and has been successfully marketed as a luxury couples holiday property.

First Floor - From The Ropewalk eight granite steps lead up to the part glazed stable door which opens in to the open plan kitchen, dining and living areas with a partially vaulted beamed ceiling and engineered oak flooring throughout. On the left is the kitchen area with a window overlooking the street. It has gloss grey modern units with a granite work surface with an inset sink and a four zone induction hob. The kitchen also benefits from an under counter integrated fridge, fan oven and slimline dishwasher. On the right of the front door are the stairs to the mezzanine level, the dining area and the staircase down to the bathroom and garage. The return staircase, with built in storage cupboards below, ascends to the mezzanine level bedroom area which has a Velux window, space for a king sized bed, but note, some restricted head height. The living area is separated from the dining area by the staircase to the ground floor. The area itself has two windows overlooking the street and is bright and airy, with double height ceiling. The centrally located glass panelled stairs descends to the ground floor where on the right is the steam shower room and ahead access to the integral garage.

Ground Floor - The large walk in steam shower has a duel rainfall shower heads and a steam function along with a separate body spray. Two tiled seats at opposite ends of the shower allow you to close the door and benefit from the steam function. The garage has a remote controlled electric roller shutter opening onto Porthmeor Road. There is also a utility area within with plumbing for a washing machine and space for a tumble dryer (white goods included within the sale).
To note the garage will fit a small to medium sized car only.

Location

1 The Ropewalk is located on what is known as the Island in St Ives, only fifty metres form Porthmeor Beach and circa 250 metres from the harbour and town centre.

Cornwall’s unique character comes from its historic landscape and some 400 miles of spectacular coastline. St Ives is home to the landmark Tate St Ives Gallery (built in 1993), the famous Barbara Hepworth Museum and the Bernard Leech Pottery. St Ives is bordered by three beautiful sandy beaches, Porthmeor for surfing, Porthgwidden and Porthminster which are repeatedly voted among the best in the British Isles. 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.

There is a COOP centrally located and a larger Tesco supermarket at the top of Trelyon Avenue in Carbis Bay but if you are looking for bread look no further than the St Ives Bakery on Fore Street whose sour dough was voted as one of the top ten best in the country.

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.

Schools - St Ives has some outstanding schools across all ages. St Ives Infants (Ofsted Outstanding) St Ives Juniors (Ofsted Good) and St Ives Secondary School is the first Secondary school in Cornwall to receive the Ofsted Outstanding classification

Square Footage: 658 sq ft
