Godrevy Sight 32 Trenwith Place

Built on a narrow peninsula fringed by sandy beaches, St Ives is the ideal spot for a family seaside holiday. Watch as the local fishing fleet lands its daily catch in the tranquil harbour; the beach here is great for swimming and sandcastles and the nearby shops serve refreshments to suit all tastes. The town has long been known as a hub for artists and no visit would be complete without a trip to the iconic Tate St Ives, while shoppers, foodies and history-lovers will find lots to satisfy amid the surrounding maze of cobbled streets. Just over 3 miles out at sea, the octagonal white tower of Godrevy Lighthouse inspired the writer Virginia Woolf. The mesmerising St Michael’s Mount at Marazion is 8 miles away.

At the end of a quiet cul-de-sac close to Harbour Beach, this end-of-terrace house has sea views across the rooftops and offers a warm welcome for a family or group of friends. Step from the entrance hall into an impressive lounge/diner where a feature stone wall attracts immediate attention. Quality furnishings and calm colours set the scene for relaxing evenings here, with the whole area bathed in light thanks to dual-aspect windows and a door which gives access to a private patio. Close by, a bright contemporary kitchen houses all the essentials for a self-catering stay along with another door onto the patio. Two inviting first-floor bedrooms each have far-reaching views; one has twin beds and a vanity unit, the other has a double bed, and both share use of a cheerful coastal-toned bathroom. A steep, narrow staircase leads to a pretty twin-bedded attic room where there’s a TV and panoramic views of Godrevy Lighthouse, plus an en-suite shower room.

Accessed from both the lounge/diner and kitchen, the private patio has decking and outdoor furniture, offering somewhere comfortable to sit and enjoy the view.
