Occupying an enviable spot in the centre of St Ives, this cosy cottage puts you within walking distance of superb seafood restaurants, wide beaches of soft white sand, a thriving art scene and an array of independent boutiques. Inside the home, framed prints and plump red couches liven up the neutral living space. Spend mornings curled up in the armchair with a mug of coffee before putting together something tasty for breakfast in the fully-equipped kitchen. When you’re ready to explore, the translucent waters of Porthminster Beach are less than a fifteen-minute stroll from your doorstep. Or why not admire large works in stone and bronze at the Barbara Hepworth Museum, only a seven-minute saunter away. If you’d like to give your legs a stretch, embark on the moderate 6.8 mile circular walk from St Ives to Carn Naun. Return to your abode in the evening with a large portion of fish and chips and a bottle of something fizzy to be enjoyed outside on your patio as the sun sets over the Cornish coast.
