21 Trenwith Place

This lovingly renovated family home has been crafted to provide families or groups of friends with the perfect holiday retreat set in the beautiful town of St Ives. Centrally located, yet on a quiet no-through road, this superb property offers easy access to everything St Ives has to offer and a peaceful base to return to after a day of exploring the pretty cobbled streets and stunning local beaches. Come rain or shine, St Ives has something for everyone; cafes, pubs, gift shops and restaurants line the streets; children will love the town’s four sandy beaches; the Tate Gallery is a haven for art lovers, and the bustling harbour is always a fascinating hive of activity. For the outdoor enthusiasts, the South West Coast Path passes right through the town, offering walkers spectacular cliff-top views. Surfers will love the waves at St Ives’ Porthmoer Beach or Gwithian (9 miles). A day trip to spectacular St Michael’s Mount (9 miles) should not be missed, and the wild ocean around Land’s End (18 miles) is particularly dramatic during winter storms. May’s St Ives Food & Drink Festival and September’s Music & Arts Festival are extremely popular times to visit, with many extra attractions and events coming to town.

This is a home full of personality where stylish period finishes sit alongside modern luxuries and comfort. Climbing 10 steps from street level, you enter via a hallway into the spacious lounge/diner with high ceilings, wooden floorboards, original sash windows, a decorative feature fireplace and a plush corner sofa. To the rear of the property, a lovely country-cottage-style kitchen awaits, fully equipped with everything needed for dining at home. On the first floor are two attractive bedrooms, one with a single bed, the other with twin single beds, and the family bathroom with a freestanding roll-top bath and a stylish separate shower cubicle. A further flight of stairs lead to the light-filled attic bedroom with a king-size bed, exposed brickwork feature wall and dual aspect windows overlooking the garden to the rear and far-reaching views of St Ives Bay to the front.

Outside, off the kitchen, is a pretty courtyard with an outdoor table and chairs. Behind the courtyard, a large, tiered garden with seating at various levels leads up to the beautiful glazed summerhouse offering panoramic views of the town and ocean beyond from its comfortable rattan corner sofa and chairs.
