Cornish holiday homes of distinction

If you’re looking for a first or easy investment/second home this stunning contemporary apartment could be for you. Situated in one of St Ives best developments this two bedroomed ground floor property has an open plan sitting room and kitchen with a lovely oak engineered floor complimenting the dark solid granite work surfaces, and sleek fitted high gloss kitchen with Siemens fitted appliances. There are two bedrooms, one double, and one twin which has an en-suite shower and wc, and there is also a separate main bathroom and wc with lovely large sandstone style tiling.

Outside there is a paved terrace ideal for dining and evening drinks with access to a pathway leading down to the glorious sandy beach at Porthmeor and the Tate Modern Art Gallery. Warmed by a modern gas boiler and with full double glazing this is also an easy property to run. There is a management company which looks after the external maintenance and a yearly contribution is made by the owners to fully insure the building.
