Seacroft 6 Carthew Court

Seacroft 6 Carthew Court is a ground-floor one-bedroom apartment on the edge of St Ives, sleeping two with sea views from a shared garden. The residential setting sits away from the summer crowds while keeping the harbour, Tate St Ives and the South West Coast Path within an easy walk.

The open-plan lounge, kitchen and dining room has a coal-effect electric fire and patio doors to the garden. A single double bedroom and a tiled shower room complete the layout. Parking comes with the apartment, and dogs are welcome.

Outside, the shared garden is planted with shrubs and palm trees and looks out across the sea. Porthmeor Beach sits 600 metres away, with St Ives Harbour Beach at 700 metres and Porthminster Beach at 800 metres, all reachable on foot. A washing machine is available for longer stays.

St Ives itself has four beaches, cobbled streets of galleries and craft shops, and a mix of pubs and restaurants. The South West Coast Path runs around The Island headland. Godrevy Lighthouse, the inspiration for Virginia Woolf's To The Lighthouse, stands three miles offshore, and St Michael's Mount at Marazion lies under 10 miles cross-country.
