This striking barn conversion occupies over 3,570 sq ft on a generous plot near Carbis Bay, designed for relaxed coastal living and dramatic views across open fields to St Ives Bay. The main house, arranged around private courtyards and terraces, delivers expansive double-height living spaces, a high-spec Gaggenau kitchen and a principal bedroom suite opening to a roof terrace. A self-contained one-bedroom annexe provides flexible guest or rental accommodation with its own decked terrace and storage for surf kit.
Architect-led detailing and a pared-back material palette give the house a contemporary, gallery-like feel that suits buyers who value design, natural light and indoor–outdoor living. Practical strengths include off-street parking, extensive external storage and a large log store for low-maintenance outdoor entertaining. The elevated position in an AONB setting brings expansive coastal and countryside views while keeping St Ives and several beaches within easy reach.
Buyers should note a few practical considerations: broadband speeds are slow in this location; the property’s solid brick walls are assumed uninsulated and the double glazing dates from before 2002, so thermal and acoustic upgrades may be desirable. The house is freehold, on mains gas with boiler and radiators, and sits in a low-crime, affluent neighbourhood—good for families or those seeking a secure second home.
Overall, this is a rare, architect-designed coastal home offering generous space, an annexe and superb light-filled living. It will suit purchasers seeking design-led coastal living who are comfortable investing in targeted improvements to maximise comfort and energy performance.
