Summary - COMPASS POINT 3 BOSKERRIS ROAD CARBIS BAY ST IVES TR26 2PU
2 bed 1 bath Ground Flat
Lifetime lease option offers significant savings for buyers aged 60 and over.
Two bedrooms in a ground-floor retirement complex, approx. 441 sq ft
This compact two-bedroom ground-floor apartment sits within a coastal retirement complex in Carbis Bay, close to the beach and local amenities. The property is small (approx. 441 sq ft) and was constructed in the early 2000s, with double glazing and electric boiler/radiator heating already in place.
A key opportunity is the Home for Life Lifetime Lease from Homewise for buyers aged 60 and over: guide pricing suggests a Lifetime Lease figure of £167,500 (market listing £250,000), with typical savings of around 20–50% depending on age and circumstances. The plan allows purchasing up to a 50% share to safeguard value for the future.
Practical points are straightforward: single bathroom, modest living space and limited storage mean this best suits downsizers or someone seeking a low-maintenance coastal base rather than a family home. Broadband speeds are slow and tenure details are not confirmed — buyers must ask solicitors to verify lease/tenure, service charges and any management arrangements.
Overall, this is a sensible, low-upkeep seaside option for an over-60 buyer wanting proximity to St Ives and Carbis Bay, with the financial flexibility of a Lifetime Lease. It is not suitable for those needing large rooms, high-speed connectivity or guaranteed rental income without further checks.
