Summary - Flat 2, 81 Back Road East TR26 1PF
2 bed 1 bath Flat
Seafront convenience with strong short‑let and share‑of‑freehold tenure.
Short stroll to harbourside and three award‑winning beaches
Set in the heart of St Ives, this Grade II listed two-bedroom flat sits a short stroll from the harbourside and three award‑winning beaches. The raised ground‑floor entrance leads into an open-plan kitchen/diner, separate lounge and two bedrooms across approximately 636 sq ft — compact, well-laid-out accommodation suited to a holiday home, let or small household.
The property offers genuine location value: immediate access to cafés, galleries and coastal walks gives strong short‑let and second‑home appeal. The share‑of‑freehold arrangement and an exceptionally long lease (962 years remaining) reduce tenure risk; annual service charge and ground rent are low.
Buyers should be aware this is a Grade II listed building, which restricts external and some internal changes and may complicate alterations or energy upgrades. Energy performance is EPC D (65). There is no private garden and outdoor space is limited to a small street threshold. Broadband speeds are slow and the local crime rate is above average — factors to consider for full‑time occupation.
Overall this is a characterful period flat in a prime coastal location. It suits buyers prioritising position and rental potential over expansive internal space, and those comfortable with listed‑building constraints and modest modernisation to improve comfort and yields.
