Description
Set within communal gardens, the home enjoys breath taking, far-reaching views across Carbis Bay towards Godrevy Lighthouse. It offers a rare combination of timeless charm and modern comfort, creating a peaceful and inspiring retreat.
The accommodation features a bright and spacious open-plan reception and dining area, filled with natural light, alongside a compact yet well-designed kitchen on the ground floor. Upstairs, there are two generous double bedrooms, a family bathroom, and a separate WC. With its cosy Cornish cottage feel, the apartment provides a warm and inviting atmosphere, perfectly complemented by its stunning coastal outlook.
Below the property and to the side of the property, is a separate utility space, currently used as a laundry and storage and a private storage cupboard with access via the communal walkway. Offered chain-free, with a long lease and a share of the freehold, this is a rare opportunity to acquire a truly beautiful home in an exceptional setting.
The property sits in one of Cornwall’s most desirable coastal settings, nestled above Carbis Bay, with sweeping views across St Ives Bay and easy access to both tranquil beaches and a world-renowned artistic hub, Located in Carbis Bay, the property enjoys a peaceful, residential position just above the shoreline. This seaside village is known for its sheltered, turquoise waters and soft white sand and often compared to more Mediterranean destinations. The bay itself forms part of St Ives Bay, a sweeping crescent of coastline stretching several miles along the Atlantic, combining dramatic cliffs, sandy beaches, and rolling dunes. Just a short walk downhill brings you to Carbis Bay Beach, a Blue Flag beach ideal for swimming, paddleboarding, and quiet relaxation.
The South West Coast Path runs above the bay, offering spectacular walking routes right from your doorstep. From the gardens and elevated vantage point, the property looks out towards the iconic Godrevy Lighthouse. Built in the 19th century, this striking offshore lighthouse has become one of Cornwall’s most recognisable landmarks and even inspired literary works such as To the Lighthouse. The wider Godrevy headland—visible across the bay—is part of a protected Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, popular for coastal walks, wildlife spotting (including seals), and surfing. Just one mile away lies St Ives, easily reached by car, coastal walk, or the scenic branch railway line. This historic fishing town has evolved into one of the UK’s most celebrated artistic destinations, known for: St Ives Harbour – a picturesque working harbour with cafes and seafood restaurants. Tate St Ives – showcasing modern British art inspired by the area’s light and landscape. Barbara Hepworth Museum and Sculpture Garden – dedicated to one of Britain’s most important sculptors and Porthminster Beach – a palm-fringed beach with calm waters and golden sand. St Ives has long attracted artists due to its unique light and coastal beauty, reinforcing the cultural heritage that the property itself reflects.
