This ground-floor two-bedroom apartment offers single-level living with the privacy of its own entrance and an enclosed rear garden — a practical alternative to a bungalow for downsizers or buyers seeking low-maintenance accommodation close to St Ives town centre. The open-plan lounge and kitchen create a bright social space, while two well-proportioned double bedrooms suit a small household or a rental layout.
The property is being sold by the modern method of auction and comes with no forward chain, which can speed completion. The lease is a long 117 years with share of freehold; current owner reports no ground rent or service charge but buyers should verify. Practical details include double glazing (pre-2002), gas-fired central heating, an EPC rating of C, and very cheap council tax (Band A).
Important negatives: this sale requires participation in the auction process — a non-refundable reservation fee (4.5% of the purchase price, minimum £6,600) and buyer’s fees apply. The property is compact at about 518 sq ft, currently tenant-occupied, and in an area recorded with higher local crime levels. Prospective bidders should review the Buyer Information Pack, confirm mortgage suitability, and carry out their own inspections.
For buyers looking for easy, single-storey living close to amenities and good transport links, this apartment presents clear practical benefits and immediate rental or occupation potential. Be aware of the auction costs and perform due diligence on lease and local issues before bidding.
