10 The Carracks, St Ives

About this property

Countryside views within minutes of St Ives, this contemporary home lies within an exclusive development of luxury eco-houses on the outskirts of one of Cornwall’s prettiest seaside towns.

A mere mile from the bustle of the town’s art and food scene and within easy reach of the area’s stunning surf beaches, 10 The Carracks is perfectly positioned to offer guests all that this iconic slice of coastline has to offer. Light-filled and spacious, this home’s open plan living has been beautifully decorated, with modern furnishings that are as comfortable as they are good looking, creating a welcoming space to spend time to relax in.

The fully fitted kitchen has been amply equipped so that family feasts can be rustled up with ease, and a dining area which has been incorporated into the space, makes the perfect place to share home cooked meals or for discussing the day’s escapades.

The property’s two bedrooms provide guests with a sumptuous space to retreat to after days spent exploring scenic coast paths and sandy beaches, and a pretty garden with seating at the front of the house offers a scenic spot for enjoying the sweeping views across rolling countryside towards Rosewall Hill and on towards the sea.

Pop into town for a wander through boutique-lined shops or indulge in a delicious cream tea or a traditional pasty; Porthmeor Beach is just a few miles away as is Carbis Bay, so beach days of basking in the sun or paddling in the surf are most definitely on the menu. And for one of the most scenic walks in Cornwall, a ramble along Rosewall Hill’s circular trail will reward visitors with some of the best views over St Ives extending all the way to Portreath and beyond.
