7 Toms Yard

Modern and spacious eco house in higher St Ives, convenient for the coastal path and walking to beaches, harbour front and shops. Gardens and parking for 2 cars

No. 7 Tom’s Yard, a semi-detached Eco house in the pretty coastal town of St Ives, offers spacious and flexible accommodation over three floors, parking for 2 cars and enclosed gardens surrounded by trees, providing the perfect place to relax and unwind. No. 7 is one of 8 Eco Houses built around a yard at the top of Higher Stennack in St Ives.

The bustling harbour front of beautiful St. Ives is within easy walking distance (20 mins) from the house and offers a wide range of things to see and do, including, The Tate, The Leach Pottery, Barbara Hepworth Museum, fabulous beaches and numerous great pubs and restaurants. The coastal path can be joined via a 15–20 minute scenic walk from the house.  There is a handy bus service which operates from just across the road and will have you in the town within 10 minutes. There are taxi services to and from the town too, which is good to know if you don’t want to walk back up the hill after a relaxing day on the beach or maybe an active day surfing. If there are any skateboarders in the family, they will be keen to know that the innovative and ground-breaking St Ives Skate Park is only a quarter of a mile from the house. If horse riding is of interest, the Penhalwyn Trekking Centre is only just over a mile away. So many things to do, or you can just stop, relax, and have that well-deserved break.

This house and its flexible layout will particularly appeal to families with older children, multi-generational families or couples travelling with friends.
