This Grade II listed three-storey cottage occupies a rare, central St Ives position with outstanding harbour and coastal views across St Ives Harbour, Porthminster Beach and Carbis Bay. Internally the layout is versatile, with two separate entrances, flexible living space and two bathrooms — practical for holiday lets, multi-generational use or a coastal bolt-hole.
The property has previously operated successfully as a holiday let and is offered freehold and chain-free, so a buyer could reactivate holiday income quickly. A ground-floor room opens onto a small decked terrace with sea glimpses, while the principal first- and second-floor rooms present the best of the waterside views.
Buyers should note material constraints: listed status will restrict alterations and could complicate certain modernisation works, planning and servicing. The cottage is compact (about 781 sq ft) on a very small plot, with slow broadband and above-average local crime levels — factors to consider for full-time occupation or high-end rental positioning.
For an investor or buyer seeking an authentic St Ives character property with immediate coastal appeal, this cottage offers clear upside from its location and flexible layout. Viewing is essential to appreciate the vantage points and layout; practical limitations are explicit and should be factored into budgets and timelines.
