Description

Elowen is a modern three-bedroom split level house built on the hillside overlooking Carbis Bay with views out across the bay to Hayle Towan beaches. The living area is on the first floor with the garage being below. The property benefits from underfloor heating, porcelain tiled flooring and modern oak doors throughout. The property has been very successfully let as a holiday home over the last six years.

A staircase with a glass balustrade ascends from the driveway to the balcony and front door. There are views from the balcony across St Ives Bay with glimpses of Carbis Bay and the beaches at Hayle Towans through the trees. The front door opens into the main hallway off which all the rooms are accessed. Immediately to the left is the living area, and ahead is a corridor leading to all the bedrooms and the family bathroom.

The large open plan living, dining and kitchen area has three distinct zones. The living area is dual aspect with three panel bifold doors opening out on to the front balcony and a large window offering views across the bay. The central dining area has a roof Velux window shedding light on to the dining table. To the right of the entrance is the “L” shaped kitchen with both a window and French doors opening on to the rear patio area. The kitchen itself has modern gloss white wall and base units to include a pull-out larder cupboard and a central island all in a Shaker style along with an integrated double oven, fridge freezer and a gas four-ring hob.

Off the hallway on the right of the front door is a cloaks cupboard with double doors and on the left is the utility cupboard, again with double doors and plumbing and space for both a washing machine and tumble drier along with further storage space and shelving. There are three bedrooms off the hallway, the first a double has a window with sea views and a built-in wardrobe, the next bedroom is a large single again with a built in wardrobe, the principal bedroom is at the end of the hallway and overlooks the rear patio area. This is the largest room, has a large built-in wardrobe with mirrored sliding doors and an en suite shower room. The family bathroom has a roof Velux window, a bath with overhead shower and a large storage cupboard. There is also a door on to the rear patio from the hallway.

Location

Cornwall’s unique character comes from its historic landscape and some 400 miles of spectacular coastline. This unique property occupies a superb setting, built on the hillside facing due East with views out over Carbis Bay and beyond. The South West Coast Path is accessed by footpath to the front of the property off Parc Owles which leads, in one direction down to Carbis Bay beach and the other to St Ives. The beach at Carbis Bay 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 is just 1 mile to the east along the southwest coast path and is home to the landmark Tate St Ives Gallery (built in 1993) and the famous Barbara Hepworth Museum, 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. 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.
