Compact granite cottage near harbour — characterful, low council tax, holiday-let potential..
Stone-built Georgian cottage in central St Ives
A compact, granite-built cottage tucked in the heart of old St Ives, a short stroll from the harbour, beaches and town amenities. The house has been updated with double glazing and gas central heating, and its multi-storey layout offers a cosy sitting room with woodburner, a fitted kitchen/diner and two small bedrooms on the top floor. The twin bedroom benefits from rooftop views towards Porthmeor Beach.
This property suits someone looking to downsize to a low-maintenance, characterful home or a buyer seeking a holiday-let opportunity (currently run as a holiday let and may be sold furnished by separate negotiation). Practical positives include mains gas heating, double glazing fitted since 2002, and very low council tax costs.
Be realistic about the constraints: total internal area is small (approx. 474 sq ft), room sizes are compact and accommodation is arranged over three floors. The original granite walls are likely uninsulated, which could mean higher heating demand unless upgraded. Broadband speeds are slow and mobile signal average. The local area records above-average crime and some deprivation indicators, which buyers should consider when assessing long-term residential or rental prospects.
Overall, this is a characterful, centrally placed St Ives cottage that delivers coastal proximity and period appeal in a compact package. It will suit downsizers, coastal lifestyle seekers or investors prepared to accept small internal space and some retrofit work (insulation, connectivity) to maximise comfort and income potential.
