This spacious ground-floor apartment is situated on The Porthminster side of St Ives and is ideal for couples looking for a peaceful holiday haven, and a base to explore the spectacular Cornish coast and countryside. The property is less than 300 metres from sandy Porthmeor Beach, where you can join the South West Coast Path and enjoy the mile-long walk past Man’s Head to Clodgy Point. The colours and natural light in the area has been attracting painters, sculptors, and ceramists for decades, and a visit to Tate St Ives (300 metres) is a must.
This delightful property, all on one level, retains many of the original features of a traditional Fisherman’s Loft - exposed ceiling beams and stone walls - and blends them effortlessly with contemporary furnishings. When you enter, there is a sense of peacefulness, and you can instantly unwind on the sofa in the lounge/diner with a TV for entertainment. The kitchen has all the appliances to whip up a romantic meal to share together at the dining table. When it is time to rest, a king-size bedroom which includes a 5ft bed and a 3ft single with a pull out 3ft single stored beneath, and a bathroom are all yours at this lovely seaside retreat. Outside you’ll find a private courtyard with seating where you can enjoy a morning brew or evening sundowner.
To see St Ives from a different angle, hop aboard a boat trip from the pier and head out to discover Seal Island, a perfect way to watch the sunset. South of St Ives is the stunning Marazion Beach (10 miles), from where you can look across the cobbled causeway to admire the iconic sight of St Michael’s Mount. If you fancy walking in the countryside, take a picnic to Trencrom Hill and walk up to the viewpoint where you can see both the north and south coast. If delving into the local history is of interest, then head to Chysauster Ancient Village (7.5 miles) and explore the fascinating ruins.
