Renovated Victorian terrace with panoramic harbour views, parking and proven holiday-let income..
- Panoramic sea and harbour views from extended decking
This recently renovated Victorian mid-terrace offers striking panoramic views across St Ives harbour from an elevated terrace and extended decking — rare for a small town-centre home. The layout comprises an entrance hall, lounge with harbour aspect opening to a kitchen/diner and ground-floor cloakroom, with three first-floor bedrooms and a family bathroom. A private parking space immediately in front and a generous summerhouse (used as an artist’s studio) extend the living and entertaining options.
The property has been updated while retaining period features — high ceilings, stained-glass window, ornate cornices and a wooden banister — and benefits from Thomas Sanderson wooden shutters to all windows. It is offered freehold and chain free, currently trading successfully as a holiday let, so it will suit buyers seeking a coastal home with proven short-let potential or a compact family base close to beaches, shops and schools.
Buyers should note the house is small (about 615 sq ft) and sits on a small plot, with one bathroom only. External walls are original granite/whinstone and assumed uninsulated, which may affect heating efficiency and could require insulation work if prioritising energy performance. The wider area is classified as relatively deprived and local crime levels are above average — factors to weigh against the property's strong location and rental track record.
Overall this is a characterful, compact St Ives home that maximises its harbour position and outdoor entertaining spaces. It offers immediate occupancy or continued holiday-let income, but buyers should budget for running costs related to solid-wall thermal performance and accept the limits of a small, multi-storey terrace.
