St Ives town apartment with sea view

The sweeping coastal view from our town centre apartment is the same one described by Virginia Woolf in her novel To the Lighthouse, inspired by summers in St Ives: 'as far as the eye could see, fading in soft low pleats, the green sand dunes, running away into some moon country'. Quietly tucked away, the apartment is ideally situated for summer and winter breaks, and remote working. The harbour is a two minute stroll, Porthmeor and Porthminster beaches a short walk. Sorry no pets. No smoking.

An open-plan living area features exposed granite walls and wooden floors. A comfortable chair is positioned near the entrance, while a well-equipped kitchen is visible in the background. Light filters in through a window, adding warmth to the space, accented by a stylish rug.
