Summary - 79 GWITHIAN TOWANS GWITHIAN HAYLE TR27 5BU
2 bed 2 bath Detached
Original seaside chalet with panoramic ocean views, two-minute walk to the beach..
Frontline position with panoramic sea views
Occupying a frontline position on Gwithian Towans, this original chalet delivers some of the coast’s best uninterrupted views — from St Ives and Carbis Bay to Godrevy Lighthouse and the broad sweep of Gwithian beach below. At roughly 475 sq ft with two bedrooms and two bathrooms, the house is compact and characterful, ideal for someone seeking a coastal bolt-hole or a downsizer wanting seaside living on a small plot. The property is freehold and includes off-street parking for two cars and a garden, with the sand just a two-minute walk away.
The building retains its rustic, timber-clad charm but requires practical updating. Heating is by electric room heaters, insulation is partial, and the double glazing was installed before 2002 — a buyer should expect energy and comfort improvements will be needed. Broadband speeds are very slow in the area, and local services are limited consistent with a small village setting; these factors make this less suitable for full-time remote working without investment.
Important transactional note: the sale is offered to cash buyers only. Buyers should also be aware the overall size is small and the plot is compact, limiting extension potential. Flood risk is recorded as none and crime levels are very low, making the property attractive for peaceful coastal living.
This home will suit someone looking for an authentic seaside cottage to renovate and personalise, or a retiree seeking immediate access to the beach and coastal walks. It represents clear lifestyle value in a premier frontline spot, but be prepared for modernisation costs and practical limitations such as slow broadband and basic heating.
