The Carracks, St Ives, TR26

Sometimes a home just feels right the moment you see it — and that was exactly the case for the current owners of Bluewater, The Carracks. After years of holidaying in the south of France, they were ready for a UK-based retreat where the whole family — including the grandchildren and dogs — could make memories by the sea. When this house came up for sale, they didn’t hesitate. Even in the pouring rain, they drove down, viewed it, and made an offer on the spot. It was that perfect.

Located on a private road, just a mile from St Ives’ famous beaches, shops, and restaurants – yet far enough away to enjoy peaceful summer evenings – this is a rare opportunity to secure a stress-free, beautifully finished home in one of Cornwall’s most desirable locations.

Whether you're looking for a stylish permanent home, a low-maintenance second home, or a ready-to-go holiday rental, this beautifully presented 3-bedroom property ticks every box.
Set within a small, private development, the home is immaculate throughout with modern finishes and thoughtful design touches.

Spacious Open Plan Living/Dining Room – 5.87m x 4.65m (19'3" x 15'3")
The bright and airy open-plan living/dining room is perfect for entertaining or relaxing, with generous proportions and plenty of natural light.

Large, Fully Fitted Modern Kitchen – 4.11m x 2.82m (13'6" x 9'3")
This large kitchen is fully equipped with integrated appliances and ample space for dining.

Also on the ground floor is a convenient cloakroom/WC and generous under-stair storage.

Upstairs, you’ll find three well-proportioned bedrooms, including a master with en suite shower room, and a smart family bathroom. Each bedroom enjoys lovely views, either across the countryside towards Rosewall Hill or over the moorland.

Outside, the enclosed front garden is ideal for soaking up evening sun and enjoying the sunset. Double wooden gates allow for additional parking if needed, and there is already an allocated private parking space.

With underfloor heating throughout, uPVC double glazing, and modern fixtures in every room, this property is 100% ready to go – whether for your own use or as a rental investment.

Purchased from the original owner, the house has since been completely redecorated in calming, elegant tones that reflect its coastal setting. Every detail was chosen with love — from the soft colour palette to the pure wool carpets.

The sellers tell us that as a second home, Bluewater has been a joy — a place where children walked the mile into town or followed the coastal path from the doorstep, and where the whole family gathered for Cornish holidays, year after year. When not in use, it has also served as a successful holiday let thanks to its quiet location and access to countryside and coast alike.

Close enough to the heart of St Ives, yet tucked away in a peaceful spot, this property offers the perfect blend of tranquil living with easy access to Cornwall’s most vibrant coastal town.
