Set on an elevated plot in Carbis Bay, this detached three-bedroom home offers substantial living space and far-reaching bay views from the upper rooms. The ground floor provides flexible family living with a kitchen/dining room, sitting room, conservatory, utility and cloakroom, while upstairs features a principal bedroom with dressing area and ensuite, two further bedrooms and a generous family bathroom.
Outdoor space is a standout: a southerly rear garden creates a private sunny haven and the wide driveway plus electric-door garage provide plentiful parking for several cars. The property has been well maintained by the current owners and benefits from double glazing and mains gas central heating.
There is further potential for adaptation — the second bedroom could be reconfigured into two double rooms if required — but buyers should note the house was built in the late 1960s/early 1970s and the cavity walls are assumed to lack insulation. While double glazing has been installed post-2002, upgrading wall insulation and some modernisation could improve comfort and energy efficiency.
Located in a quiet cul-de-sac on a recognised retirement/self-sufficient neighbourhood fringe of St Ives, the area has low crime, good mobile signal and easy access to local shops, buses and primary and secondary schools. Council tax is above average, and broadband speeds are described as average — points to consider for working-from-home needs.
