Perched above Porthmeor Beach, this house is arranged so the living spaces catch the best of the Atlantic views – from the sea-view sitting room to a vaulted kitchen diner with balcony doors opening towards the ocean. Outside, a walled garden offers a sheltered retreat on sunny afternoons, while an outdoor fireplace makes evenings worth lingering over. St Ives Harbour, with its fishing boats, cafes, and pastel frontages, is a sixteen-minute walk, and the South West Coast Path is right on the doorstep – with body boards provided for when the surf calls.

About St Ives

You could easily mistake St Ives for a town on the coast of Italy, France or Spain, thanks to its smart waterfront overlooking the clear, blue sea and white-sand beach.
