Rare four-storey, income-producing harbour-front building with stunning sea views.
Prominent waterfront position with panoramic harbour and bay views
Pier House is a rare four-storey, mixed-use building directly on Quay Street with superb, panoramic views over St Ives Harbour and bay. The ground-floor commercial unit is currently a trading coffee shop, producing £1,083.33 pcm, providing immediate rental income alongside spacious upper-floor residential accommodation across three levels.
The first-floor open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner and the top-floor sitting/bedroom enjoy some of the best harbour outlooks in town; original sash windows, exposed floorboards and A-frame ceiling beams add character throughout. The property is offered freehold and chain-free, which simplifies purchase for investors or owner-occupiers seeking a central St Ives base with earnings potential.
Practical considerations: the building dates from before 1900 with solid brick walls and assumed limited insulation; the EPC is E. There is no private outside space, parking is on-street only, and broadband is FTTC (slow). The location is pedestrianised and popular with visitors, but the area records above-average crime and sits within a deprived local area classification — factors that should be weighed in valuation and letting strategies.
This property will suit a buyer seeking a prominent waterfront holding with immediate rental revenue and further upside from refurbishment or repositioning of the upper floors. A full survey is recommended to check thermal performance, services, and any maintenance arising from age and coastal exposure.
