Description
Situated within one of Carbis Bay’s most desirable developments, this gorgeous three-bedroom, two-bathroom penthouse apartment features two large balconies and commands uninterrupted front-line sea views, showcasing the breath-taking panoramas of St Ives Bay.
From the golden sands of Carbis Bay Beach to Godrevy Lighthouse, the sweeping scenery encompasses Hawkes Point, St Ives town, The Island, and stretches all the way to Trevose Head. Beautiful Carbis Bay beach, directly below the apartment, is a few minutes walk down the hill - a few more on the way up!
Iconic Design Meets Coastal Charm
The red-brick construction of Gwel Marten is a distinctive feature rarely seen in Cornwall, where local stone and rendered finishes
are the norm. This unique architectural style establishes Gwel Marten as an iconic landmark in the area.
Spacious & Sunlit Interiors
Inside, the apartment offers expansive, light-filled spaces. Spacious rooms and high ceilings provide a sense of grandeur, and while the property has been freshly carpeted and decorated, a new kitchen would transform the space.
Spanning 1735 sqft / 161.1 sqm, this large apartment would make an ideal permanent residence or a luxury second home/holiday let. There are beautifully maintained communal gardens to enjoy and a covered parking space. That in itself is worth a lot in this area!
PLEASE NOTE - SOME OF THE IMAGES ARE VIRTUALLY STAGED TO SHOW POTENTIAL
Virtually staged images showcase the potential of the kitchen/diner and how the apartment could look beautifully
furnished.
This third-floor apartment is accessed via a communal covered stairway, leading to its own private entrance. Step inside to an impressively spacious and light-filled reception hallway, offering versatile potential as a welcoming space or a convenient study area.
Off the hallway is one of the two large private balconies. The rear balcony is south facing and a real sun trap.
Lounge 19.7 x 17.2 (5.97m x 5.23m)
The large lounge has full width double glazed floor to ceiling windows to maximise the spectacular views over St Ives Bay towards St Ives Harbour, Godrevy Lighthouse and beyond.
The sliding patio door give access to the western half of the northern balcony - which runs the entire length of the apartment.
The photo featuring the blue sofas etc has been virtually staged to give you an idea of how the room might look when furnished.
Kitchen 17.5 x 8.7 (5.31 m x 2.61m)
Dining area 17.5 x 11.3 (5.31m x 3.42m)
The kitchen, is fully functional and benefits from sea views through the hatch to the spacious dining area and beyond. The virtual renovation concept, as shown in one of the images above and in the video, showcases the potential of this space. A simple cosmetic transformation—removing the stud wall and installing a new kitchen and flooring —could elevate this area into a stunning, open- plan kitchen and dining room, blending style and function.
The balcony, which is very private, provides yet another space for alfresco eating or just gazing at the amazing sea views.
Bedroom one 14 x 13.9 (4.26m x 4.19m)
Bedroom 1 has a south facing double glazed window, built in wardrobes and a large en-suite bathroom. The en-suite features tiled flooring and is fully equipped with all the essentials, including a bidet, a three-quarter-size bath with a mains-fed
shower overhead and a wall-mounted heater. One of the photos shows how the bedroom could look when furnished.
Bedroom two 13.9 x 10.9 (4.2m x 3.28m)
Like the rest of the apartment the two additional double bedrooms are both freshly decorated and carpeted. Bedroom 2 also has built in wardrobes. The apartment is heated by electric storage heaters.
Bedroom 3 11.8x 10.11 (3.55m x 3.33m)
Another good sized bedroom at the rear of the apartment
