Situation
The town is five to ten minutes walk away and is full of fantastic eateries, cafes and independent shops, including tasty seafood at the nearby Porthmeor Beach Café.

The property is in an incredible position in St Ives, which has many galleries, from the Tate, the Penwith Gallery, the wonderfully preserved Barbara Hepworth Museum and Sculpture Garden, and Leach Pottery, as well as many smaller, independent galleries.

It is also home to an array of beautiful beaches and scenic coastal walks from the 630-mile South West Coast Path which runs within 400m of the property and continues through St Ives and offers fantastic walks in both directions. Heading west leads to the pretty village of Zennor and further to the Penwith peninsula. East leads towards Portreath and Newquay. While nearby Porthmeor is probably its most popular, there's a smaller cove on The Island, a stretch of headland crowned by a fishermans’ chapel complete with fishing-themed tiles by Bernard Leach. In terms of transport links, there are direct trains from Paddington to nearby St Erth in under 5 hours, and another connecting train from there to St Ives in 10 minutes.

Entry to the bungalow is through a wide entrance hall with doors to the open plan kitchen diner and sitting room which is a wonderful space for taking in the views.
