A substantial Victorian detached house arranged over multiple floors, this five-bedroom family home combines period character with a bright, extended open-plan kitchen ideal for modern living and entertaining. The vaulted-ceiling kitchen and panoramic windows flood the heart of the house with light, while three reception rooms—including a bay-fronted living room and a wood-burning-stove family room—give flexible living space for family life, study and play.
The property includes a self-contained annexe with its own kitchen/dining area, living room and double bedroom with en suite — well suited to multi-generational living, guests or rental income. Outside, a gated block-paved driveway provides off-street parking and access to a large rear garden with paved patio, mature tree line, carport, garden store and a powered workshop for hobbies or storage.
Practical details to note: the house dates from the late 1800s and has solid brick walls (assumed uninsulated), double glazing of unknown age, mains gas central heating and a current Council Tax band F. The location is very convenient—on a private road within walking distance of St Ives town centre and Waitrose—but reported local crime levels are high, which buyers should consider.
This home will appeal to families seeking generous living space, period features and scope for long-term value; it also suits buyers wanting an annexe for relatives or rental use. Some buyers may wish to budget for energy-efficiency improvements (wall insulation) and to confirm any maintenance or upgrade requirements for glazing or services.
