Summary - 5 Street An Pol TR26 2DS
2 bed 1 bath Terraced
Characterful period home near harbour ideal for entry buyers or holiday use.
Short walk to St Ives harbour and town amenities
Long lease: 982 years remaining (secure tenure)
Compact three-storey layout with attic second bedroom
Dated kitchen, low ceilings and modest room sizes
Shared rear courtyard (1/3 ownership) and lapsed balcony permission
No wall insulation assumed; likely higher heating costs
Medium flood risk for the area
Above-average local crime and area deprivation indicators
This compact three-storey terraced home sits just off St Ives High Street, a short walk from the harbour and town amenities. Its period exterior and characterful interior offer a seaside base for first-time buyers or a holiday-let conversion, with generous natural footfall nearby. The long lease (982 years) gives security often lacking in shorter leasehold homes.
Internally the layout is straightforward: ground-floor kitchen and cloakroom, first-floor lounge and main bedroom with en-suite, plus an attic second bedroom. Rooms are modest and ceiling heights are low in places, so the property suits someone seeking a manageable city-centre home rather than large family accommodation. The dated kitchen and lack of wall insulation are practical issues to address if you want to modernise or improve energy efficiency.
Outside the property benefits from one-third ownership of a shared rear courtyard and there was previously planning consent (now lapsed) for a balcony off the attic room — a reminder of potential to enhance sea views subject to new permissions. Note practical drawbacks clearly: medium flood risk for the area, above-average local crime, and indicators of area deprivation, which should be considered alongside the low council tax and strong local amenity offer.
Overall this is an affordable entry point into St Ives with immediate convenience to shops, galleries and beaches. It will best suit buyers who value location and character and are prepared to undertake modest refurbishment and energy-efficiency improvements.
