Location

Southfield Place occupies an enviable position within St Ives, close enough to enjoy the town's renowned beaches, picturesque harbour, independent shops, galleries, restaurants and coastal walks, whilst offering a quieter residential setting away from the busiest areas. Homes combining period charm, sea views, off-road parking and gardens of this calibre are seldom available, making this a truly special opportunity.
