St Ives is famous for its charming maze of narrow streets, lined with traditional fishermen’s cottages, unique boutiques, acclaimed restaurants, and thriving art galleries. At its heart lies a scenic granite harbor, where local fishing boats gently bob along the piers, framed by a stunning sandy beach. For golf enthusiasts, the spectacular links course at Lelant overlooks the Hayle Estuary, offering breathtaking views toward the iconic Godrevy Lighthouse. Travel is made easy with a scenic branch railway connecting Carbis Bay and St Ives to the main London-to-Penzance line at nearby St Erth, providing a seamless journey with stunning coastal panoramas.

The Property - Nestled in a blissful and highly sought-after position towards the end of Steeple Lane, Sage Cottage is a picturesque Cornish granite home exuding charm and character. This quintessential ‘chocolate box’ cottage boasts a rich history, with tenants dating back over 100 years. Full of traditional features, the property showcases exposed beams, a grand granite Inglenook fireplace, deep-set window reveals, and striking granite walls.

Set within beautiful gardens, Sage Cottage perfectly combines historic charm with modern comfort, offering an idyllic countryside retreat. Stepping through the charming stable door, you enter a welcoming porch that leads into the spacious principal living area. This full-width sitting room features dual Inglenook fireplaces, exposed beams, and window seats, creating a warm and inviting country retreat. Adjacent to the living room, a delightful sunroom/conservatory floods the space with natural light, offering picturesque garden views and providing additional access to the kitchen and outdoor areas.

The bright and airy Shaker-style country kitchen enjoys a dual-aspect outlook over the gardens, while a practical utility room compliments the space. A family bathroom and an additional versatile room currently used as a home office completes the ground floor. An open staircase rises from the sitting room to the first-floor landing, where four generously sized double bedrooms await, each offering breathtaking coastal and countryside views. A well-appointed shower room completes the upper-level accommodation.

Outside - The front of the cottage boasts a private garden, primarily laid to lawn, with charming granite-paved pathways bordered by a variety of well-established trees and shrubs, beautifully framing the property from the roadside. Set back from the road, a gated driveway provides paved parking for one vehicle, with areas to create more if required. A terraced side garden discreetly shields the parking area from view, offering a peaceful, lawned retreat.
