Sundown Street An Pol

Sundown Street An Pol is a ground-floor one-bedroom apartment in the heart of St Ives, sleeping four with a double arrangement in the main bedroom and additional sleeping space for two. The property retains original stone walls and stained-glass windows that are typical of the town's Victorian terraced architecture, and a private front courtyard with table and chairs provides outside space without needing a garden. No parking is available or necessary - the town centre location puts the beaches, harbour, and galleries within a few minutes on foot.

Porthminster Beach is 100m from the front door - a south-facing sandy beach with a cafe, sunbathing area, and calmer water than the town's north-facing beaches. St Ives Harbour Beach is 200m away, the focal point of the fishing quarter and the centre of activity during the summer season. Porthmeor Beach, the main surf beach on the Atlantic-facing side of the headland, is 0.5km through the town.

The Tate St Ives gallery sits above Porthmeor and is a 10-minute walk from the apartment. The Barbara Hepworth Sculpture Garden in the town centre is closer. Both are open year-round except Mondays in winter. The town's fishing harbour operates independently of tourism and is worth visiting early morning when the catch comes in.

Suits couples or a small family who want to be in the centre of St Ives without a car, with a dog welcome and the town's 3 main beaches all within easy reach. Less suitable for guests who need parking, a full kitchen, or more than 1 bedroom - the apartment is compact and the lack of parking is a genuine constraint.
