Summary - Flat 2, Crusoes, The Meadow TR26 1HX
2 bed 1 bath Apartment
Chain-free two-bedroom apartment directly overlooking Porthmeor Beach, St Ives..
Chain free and ground-floor with direct beach proximity
Broad panoramic sea views from principal bedroom and sitting room
Very long lease (approx. 960 years) — share of freehold
Small overall size; limited storage and no private outdoor space
High local flood risk — specialist insurance likely required
Electric storage heating; EPC Band D (moderate efficiency)
Council Tax Band B; close walk to shops, galleries and transport
Area has above-average crime and local deprivation indicators
This ground-floor, two-bedroom apartment occupies a superb seafront position overlooking Porthmeor Beach, offering direct access to St Ives’ cafes, galleries and coastline. Its compact layout and manageable size make it suitable for a first home or a coastal retreat you can lock up and leave.
The principal bedroom and sitting room both capture panoramic sea views, delivering daily light and seaside atmosphere. The property is chain free and comes with a very long lease (around 960 years), simplifying purchase logistics and offering long-term ownership security.
Practical considerations are clear: the home is electrically heated with storage heaters, has an EPC rating of D, and is leasehold/share-of-freehold. There is no private outdoor space and the property is small in footprint, so buyers should expect limited storage and living space.
A significant drawback is the area’s high flood risk; prospective buyers should seek specialist insurance and check flood resilience measures. The apartment is well placed for town amenities and good local schools, but the immediate area shows higher-than-average crime and pockets of deprivation, which may affect long-term rental demand or resale.
Overall this is a rare opportunity to secure an iconic seafront pied-à-terre in St Ives: ideal for buyers wanting immediate coastal living, a holiday let, or a compact permanent base, provided they accept the location-specific risks and heating/maintenance profile.
