Light-filled reverse-level maisonette in the heart of St Ives, a short walk from Fore Street, the harbour and local beaches. The top-floor studio living/dining/kitchen benefits from vaulted ceilings, skylights and a rear balcony, creating an airy, contemporary living space ideal for a single occupant or couple. The double bedroom and shower room are on the lower level, with practical storage in the entrance hallway.
This leasehold home offers a very long lease (959 years) and low ground rent (£25), making it straightforward for first-time buyers or buy-to-let purchasers. The interior is presented in a neutral, low-maintenance style with modern kitchen fittings, recessed lighting and timber-effect flooring; running costs may be modest but the property relies on electric room heaters.
Important facts: there is no private garden and the construction has cavity walls assumed without insulation, and the property has an EPC rating of E. Heating is electric (room heaters), glazing is double but pre-2002, and the area records above-average crime levels. These points affect running costs and comfort and should be weighed against the location and long lease.
Overall this compact maisonette is a convenient, low-upkeep base in a prime coastal town location. It will suit a first-time buyer, downsizer or investor seeking a town-centre pied-à-terre; an internal viewing is recommended to assess space and heating preferences.
