DESCRIPTION

• The availability of Porthglaze represents a rare and exciting opportunity to acquire a wonderful, highly individual home in a convenient location just a short walk away from amenities but well away from the hustle and bustle of the town centre.

• Built, we understand, in 1959 the property underwent a comprehensive schedule of refurbishment, remodelling and extension by the current owners to create a superb home with highly versatile, well presented accommodation of great style and quality.

• Reception rooms include a fantastic large L-shaped extension comprising a superb open-plan living space with floor to ceiling glazed windows and doors overlooking and opening out onto the beautiful rear gardens. This space comprises a good sized kitchen/dining room with well appointed kitchen with electric Aga and space for a ten seater dining table. This area opens into a wonderful garden room with contemporary woodburning stove. Both rooms having open vaulted ceilings and skylight windows, giving them both a great light and airy feel. In addition, there is a second sitting room also with woodburning stove plus a study or third bedroom.

• On the ground floor there are two fantastic bedroom suites both with en-suite facilities and walk-in wardrobes. On the first floor there is a large L-shaped attic room plus bathroom which is currently used as a studio, but equally could make a fantastic master bedroom suite with glazed balcony with views over rooftops to Godrevy beach and lighthouse in the distance.

• The property sits on a large mature garden plot and is set back from a quiet lane behind beautiful established and profusely stocked flowerbeds and borders behind a Cornish stone wall. The front of the house has mature wisteria and to the side is a sheltered courtyard ideally positioned for the morning sun. To the rear there is a generous gently sloping lawned garden enjoying peace, tranquillity and seclusion bounded by mature tree and hedge borders, interspersed with an array of flowering

plants. Doors from the garden room and kitchen open out onto a lovely L-shaped slate terrace.

• Gated parking area for 3-4 cars plus timber garage/workshop plus additional timber storage shed.

• Steeple Lane has long been regarded as one of St Ives’ best residential locations, a lovely leafy lane with little or no passing traffic backing onto The Steeple Woodland Nature Reserve, wonderful for quiet walks onto backwater lanes and into the protected woods. It is a street with many of St Ives’ best residences enjoying peace and quiet yet only a short walk from the hustle and bustle of the town centre and all of its multitude of amenities, restaurants, pubs, beaches etc.

LOCATION Porthglaze is located along the sought after Steeple Lane which is on the rural outskirts of St Ives with countryside walks on your doorstep. A short walk away is Tregenna Castle Golf Club and just below the bottom part of the road is Hain Walk which forms part of the South West Coast Path linking Carbis Bay beach and railway station to Porthminster beach in St Ives. These are two of the most sheltered beaches in the area, ideal for swimming and more sedate water sports, but there are fantastic surfing options at Porthmeor beach and also further around St Ives Bay. The town of both St Ives and Carbis Bay are well served with doctors, dentists and professional services, shopping including supermarkets, a leisure centre and schooling. St Ives’ main appeal is the multitude of cafés, bars and restaurants which line around St Ives’ harbour and the area is renowned understandably for its artistic community with plentiful galleries including the nationally renowned Tate St Ives. There is a picturesque branch railway line which stops at St Ives and Carbis Bay which links to the main Penzance to Paddington line at St Erth with trains taking from there about 5 hours to reach London.
