Planning permission under reference PA19/08819 was approved in March 2020 to redesign/extend and make external alterations to St Christopher's which formerly comprised three residential apartments and commercial premises. Part of the beach level was once a commercial beachfront cafe which currently has planning permission to convert to residential use. (See land registry plan attached).

The approved planning permission is to create three apartments. The accompanying Computer-Generated Images give an indication of what the

apartments could look like.

The following text describes the layout as seen on the approved architect's plans. This is a provisional idea of how the accommodation could be arranged and should be altered to suit the purchaser’s needs, subject to further discussion with planners and in order to comply with current building regulations. For example, our intention was to install a commercial-style sprinkler system rather than the fire doors shown,

to create a striking open-plan interior design.

(Porthmeor Road runs behind Porthmeor Beach and is one storey above the beach level. The description 'ground floor’ refers to Porthmeor Road level.

Ground floor would be viewed as first floor from the beach).

A unique split-level, one-bedroom apartment with direct access onto Porthmeor Beach. The beach-front part of this building was once the iconic Sundowner's cafe where well-known artists from the 1930s-1960s gathered and were inspired by the energy of the sea and the amazing sunsets.

Entered from the cobbled Pressing Yard, this property, formerly a pilchard press, has thick granite walls with a traditional pressing ledge . CGI Images show the planned careful restoration of the historic wall feature which enhances the very special ambience that exists here - the feeling of living 'on the edge of the sea'.

ReceptionApproximately 60ft long with built-in sunken seating around the fireplace. Inset full -width glazing/doors to the beach providing uninterrupted, thrilling eye-level views of waves which opens on to a covered, exterior terrace which is set back from the beach, nestled between the existing granite walls providing privacy from neighbours and the beach.

Two sets of sliding heavy duty wooden doors set on both the interior the exterior side of the retained granite walls provide privacy an protection against the elements when desired.

NOTE Throughout the beach level, drainage has been incorporated into the solid concrete floors to allow any water to escape should it enter the property. On very limited occasions, when extreme winter storms coincide with a very high tide, this can happen - although there has only ever been a small amount of water seepage in the past. The proposed design places electrical outlets at higher levels and includes external quality sockets/switches which are not affected by water.

CGI CGI

The two sets of heavy-duty oak doors, described above, will provide strong protection from the sea in the event of a fierce storm. Much thought has gone into the design to allow for this rare occurrence without water causing internal damage. With the use of hard surfaces and strategically placed drainage, shown on the plans, any water ingress can immediately escape. The bedroom is located above at ground floor level so it will not be affected.

Parking - A double parking space in a garage suitable for a large car or two small cars is located a couple of minutes’ walk away at the junction of Back Road West and the Digey and is available by separate negotiation.

North Cornish CoastThe clarity of light, sandy beaches and turquoise waters of St Ives have attracted artists and those seeking an outstanding quality of life since the 19th century. Centred on a working harbour, the winding cobbled streets that were once the homes and inns of sailors and fishermen are now vibrant with restaurants, pubs and cafes; showcasing Cornwall's fabulous delicacies.

The cliff top walks to the west of St Ives are exhilarating while boutiques and galleries provide a more tranquil afternoon. Most notably, the town is now also home to the landmark Tate Gallery, the famous Barbara Hepworth Museum and the Bernard Leach Pottery.

There is excellent surfing at both Porthmeor Beach and at St Ives Bay. These are two of the most sheltered beaches in the area, ideal for swimming and more leisurely water sports. The South West Coast Path links Carbis Bay Beach and the rail station to Porthminster Beach in St Ives which is home to the award-winning Porthminster Beach Café.

Overlooking the Hayle Estuary at nearby Lelant (2.5 miles), there is a spectacular links golf course with views stretching up towards Godrevy Lighthouse.

A branch railway line links St Ives to the main Penzance to Paddington line at St Erth (5.5 miles) with trains from there taking about 5 hours to reach London.
