About this property
Nestled in the heart of Downalong, one of St Ives' most idyllic spots, this charming two-bedroom apartment is the ultimate seaside getaway, perfect for families and couples craving an escape to the Cornish coast. The bustling harbour and gloriously golden sands of Porthmeor Beach await to be explored, less than 200 metres away.
Behind the external flight of stone steps, and a further set of internal steps, you’ll find a haven of contemporary charm in the open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner. Exposed beams and a double-height ceiling create a truly warming ambience reminiscent of a traditional Cornish coastal cottage whilst homely touches including a plush sofa and sleek kitchen effortlessly marries both comfort and elegance. Further through the apartment, you’ll find a spacious double and bunk bedroom, which both feature the characterful splendour of exposed ceiling beams and crisp linens that’ll lull you into a dreamy slumber before kick-starting the day’s adventure with an invigorating shower in the stylish family bathroom. Whilst this apartment has no outside space, a peaceful stroll around St Ives Harbour less than a mile away is not to be missed.
Built on a narrow peninsula fringed with sandy beaches, the fishing village of St Ives boasts a picture-perfect harbour and a maze of cobbled streets lined with fishermen’s cottages, award-winning restaurants and local shops. Culture vultures can head to the Tate St Ives less than a mile away whilst outdoor explorers can spend hours strolling the mile-long stretch of Porthmeor Beach just under half a mile away; enjoy the best views of the bay by taking a leisurely dip in the crystal waters. Find pure peace and tranquillity meandering around over 30 impressive sculptures set in beautifully landscaped gardens at the Barbara Hepworth Museum and Sculpture Garden, half a mile away.
