Tucked on a quiet cobbled street opposite the Barbara Hepworth Museum, this newly renovated one-bedroom cottage puts St Ives’ harbour, shops and eateries within a 100-metre stroll. Recently refurbished throughout, the property offers a bright lounge/diner, compact modern kitchen, large double bedroom and contemporary bathroom — arranged over a traditional, compact layout that suits a low-maintenance home or holiday bolthole.
Currently a successful holiday let, the cottage presents immediate rental potential for investors or a turnkey seaside retreat for a single buyer. The house is freehold, freshly updated and comes with a small rear yard and a front seating spot — ideal for morning coffee in the sunshine. Council tax is very cheap, helping running costs remain low.
Buyers should note the cottage’s compact room sizes and low ceilings, which are characteristic of period properties in the town centre. The area has above-average recorded crime rates and is in a broadly deprived local area classification, factors worth considering for long-term owners. Despite that, its central location, proven letting record and careful renovation make it a straightforward, low-upkeep option for those seeking an income-generating or second-home base in St Ives.
Viewing is highly recommended to appreciate the layout, finish and town-centre setting. This is a compact, characterful property aimed at purchasers wanting a ready-to-go holiday let or a small seaside home with immediate access to the harbour and cultural attractions.
