Situation - Enjoying spectacular far-reaching views across St Ives Bay and along the dramatic North Cornish coastline towards Trevose Head, Lowena occupies a highly sought-after position on the seaward side of Carbis Bay. Carbis Bay Beach is within easy reach and, at low tide, it is possible to walk around the eastern headland onto the beautiful expanse of Porthkidney Sands.

Surrounding St Ives is a collection of magnificent beaches, each offering its own unique character. Porthmeor Beach, home to the world-renowned Tate St Ives and facing the Atlantic Ocean, is particularly popular with surfers, while the sheltered beaches of St Ives Bay are favoured by families and those seeking calmer waters. The area provides an excellent range of leisure opportunities, including water sports, coastal walks and sailing, whilst the highly regarded West Cornwall Golf Club, overlooking the estuary, lies less than a mile away. St Ives itself is famed for its charming maze of narrow cobbled streets, lined with traditional fishermen’s cottages alongside an eclectic mix of boutiques, galleries, cafés and restaurants. The picturesque granite harbour remains a focal point of the town, with local fishing boats still mooring alongside the pier and a sandy beach nestled beside it. A scenic branch railway line connects Carbis Bay and St Ives to the main London to Penzance line at nearby St Erth, providing convenient transport links to the wider region.

The Property - Lowena is a striking detached family home occupying a highly sought after position on the seaward side of Carbis Bay, enjoying an elevated setting with far reaching coastal views. Beautifully presented throughout, the property has undergone recent renovations and thoughtful improvements, creating a stylish and contemporary feel whilst retaining warmth and character. The result is a light filled and highly versatile home, perfectly suited to modern coastal living.

A spacious open plan reception hallway forms the heart of the property, immediately conveying the wonderful sense of space and flow that continues throughout. The accommodation has been designed with flexibility in mind, appealing equally to families, those seeking a substantial second home, or buyers looking for multi generational living opportunities. The principal living room is an especially impressive space, featuring vaulted ceilings, exposed beams and a striking bay window that perfectly frames the far reaching views towards Gwithian and along the dramatic North Cornish coastline. The elevated outlook, combined with the abundance of natural light, creates a superb room for both relaxing and entertaining. The recently enhanced open plan kitchen and breakfast room has been thoughtfully designed with a modern aesthetic, fitted with an excellent range of base and eye level units alongside generous preparation and dining space. Positioned just off the kitchen, the dining room flows effortlessly into the sun room, where expansive glazing makes the most of the spectacular coastal outlook and provides direct access onto the balcony, an ideal setting for outdoor dining or enjoying the sunrise over the bay.

The lower ground floor offers excellent flexibility, comprising two generous double bedrooms with doors opening directly onto the rear garden, together with a further double bedroom positioned to the front of the property. Accessed from the central hallway is a self contained apartment, providing ideal accommodation for guests, dependent relatives, or potential ancillary income. Further enhancing the property’s versatility, stairs rise to the second floor where an additional room offers the perfect space for a bedroom, artist’s studio, hobby room or home office.

Lowena successfully combines contemporary styling with spacious and adaptable accommodation, all within one of Carbis Bay’s most desirable coastal settings.
