Sandows Lane, St Ives, St Ives

A Hidden Gem in the Heart of St Ives

Tucked away in a peaceful no-through lane, yet just a short stroll from the vibrant town centre and the golden beaches of St Ives, this beautifully refurbished granite cottage is a true find.

As you step inside, the character of the home immediately shines through. The ground floor has been sympathetically modernised while retaining its charm, with rustic quarry-tile flooring, exposed whitewashed beams, and a light, airy feel throughout.

The open-plan living space is perfect for modern living. A stylish high-gloss kitchen, complete with Bosch oven, ceramic hob, extractor fan, integrated sink, and space for a dishwasher, flows seamlessly into the lounge area. A feature electric fireplace adds warmth and character, while double glazing ensures comfort year-round.

To the rear, a cleverly designed utility area houses a washing machine, fridge, boiler, and additional storage. From here, you step into a contemporary wet room with a rainfall shower, heated towel rail, and sleek modern finishes.

Outside, the rear courtyard has been thoughtfully landscaped with Mediterranean-inspired planting and a private seating area—perfect for morning coffee or evening dining. A wrought iron staircase leads to a sunny roof terrace, offering a secluded spot to relax and soak up the Cornish sunshine.

Upstairs, the cottage offers two double bedrooms, each tastefully decorated in a fresh coastal style. The principal bedroom at the front is light and spacious, while the second double bedroom at the rear provides built-in storage and a calming retreat. Both rooms are finished in soft neutral tones, enhancing the bright and breezy feel of the home.

Every detail has been carefully considered by the current owners, with the entire property redecorated to a high standard. There is nothing to do here except move in, unpack, and enjoy. Whether you are seeking a permanent home, a stylish downsize, or a holiday retreat by the sea, this cottage offers a rare opportunity in one of Cornwall’s most sought-after coastal towns.

Location
St Ives has fast become one of the UK’s foremost holiday destinations, home to three award-winning beaches—two of which are regularly featured in The Telegraph’s top 100 beaches in Europe. The town itself is a picturesque maze of cobbled streets, lined with stone and whitewashed former fishermen’s cottages, all leading down to the iconic harbour. Here you can watch the local fishing fleet return with their daily catch—and, if you’re lucky, spot dolphins or seals in the bay.
