Set on a decent plot in St Ives, this detached mid-20th-century house combines flexible living with clear rental potential. The main home includes a bright lounge, dining area, kitchen, utility, conservatory and garden-facing living spaces; a separate one‑bed annexe with its own entrance, kitchen and bathroom provides immediate extra income or space for extended family. Off-street parking for several vehicles, a workshop and a sizeable lawned garden add practical appeal.
The property is large internally (about 1,393 sq ft) and benefits from mains gas central heating and double glazing installed before 2002. Broadband speeds are fast and mobile signal is excellent — helpful for home working or letting. Nearby amenities and schools are within easy reach in a small‑town setting, while crime risk is low and there is no flooding risk for the plot.
Buyers should note several material points: parts of the construction date from the 1950s–60s and the cavity walls are assumed to have no insulation, so energy performance may be poor and further insulation or upgrades could be needed. The double glazing predates 2002 and may not meet current standards. The wider area shows signs of deprivation and the nearest primary school has an Ofsted rating of “Requires improvement” — factors to weigh for family buyers or renters. Council tax band is unknown and will affect running costs.
For purchasers looking for a family home with rental income potential or a project to add value, this property presents space and location strengths alongside clear retrofit and improvement opportunities. The configuration and plot make it straightforward to modernise and enhance energy efficiency, or to continue using the annexe for income.
