A deceptively spacious three-bedroom, two-storey stone cottage set within walking distance of St Ives town, harbour and beaches. Believed to be over 200 years old, the house retains character features—exposed beams and a wood-burning stove—while offering modern comforts such as gas central heating and fast broadband. The property is freehold and totals about 1,301 sq ft.
A major strength is the detached annexe with its own entrance, useful for guests, a home office or rental income. The rear garden is enclosed and low-maintenance, and there is potential to create off-street parking from the dropped kerb to the front (subject to consent). Council tax is described as low, and local services, excellent mobile signal and good broadband add practical value.
Buyers should note material drawbacks: the plot is small and the cottage shows signs of age and wear that may need attention (possible localized damp in places). There is only one bathroom for three bedrooms. The wider area classification indicates pockets of deprivation and the nearby junior school is rated 'Requires improvement'—other local schools are rated Good. Viewing is recommended to assess condition and the annexe's potential firsthand.
