Hidden away in the very heart of beautiful St Ives and just a stone’s throw from the iconic harbour, this deceptively spacious four-storey character cottage offers a wonderful opportunity to create something truly special. Boasting three generous bedrooms, an abundance of original charm and surprisingly spacious accommodation throughout, the property is now ready for its next chapter and would benefit from updating. Whether you’re searching for a distinctive permanent home, coastal retreat or investment in one of Cornwall’s most sought-after seaside towns, this is a rare opportunity to secure a character property in an enviable central location.

Location
Church Place enjoys a wonderful tucked-away position in the very heart of historic St Ives, just moments from the picturesque harbour and the town’s beautiful sandy beaches. From the doorstep you can wander through the charming cobbled streets lined with independent boutiques, galleries, cafés, restaurants and traditional pubs, while the world-renowned Tate St Ives and Barbara Hepworth Museum are also within easy walking distance. Whether it’s an early morning coffee overlooking the harbour, a day on Porthmeor or Porthminster Beach, or an evening enjoying the vibrant atmosphere of the town’s restaurants and waterfront, everything St Ives is famous for is quite literally on your doorstep. Despite its incredibly central location, Church Place retains a tucked-away feel, making it a wonderful place from which to enjoy this iconic Cornish coastal town.
Living Room
Stepping through the front door, you are welcomed into an impressive and spacious living room, immediately showcasing the property’s character and charm. Windows to both the front and rear flood the room with natural light, creating a wonderfully bright and inviting atmosphere throughout the day.
Beautiful exposed beams and two attractive red brick fireplace recesses provide striking focal points, while radiators and ample power points make this an exceptionally comfortable room for relaxing or entertaining. Stairs rise to the first floor and descend to the lower ground floor kitchen.
Kitchen/Breakfast Room
Occupying the lower ground floor is a generous farmhouse-style kitchen with an impressive ceiling height that enhances the sense of space. Fitted with a range of eye and base level units complemented by practical worktop surfaces, the kitchen includes a four-ring electric hob with electric oven beneath, together with space for both a washing machine and dishwasher.
A stable door and window to the rear provide natural light and easy access outside, while a useful under-stairs cupboard and separate cupboard housing the boiler offer valuable storage.
First Floor
The first-floor landing enjoys a rear-facing window allowing additional natural light and gives access to the principal bedroom together with both the shower room and family bathroom.
The front bedroom is a delightful double room featuring exposed beams, a front-facing window, radiator and ample power points, continuing the character found throughout the property.
The shower room is fitted with a walk-in shower cubicle with electric shower, wash hand basin with storage beneath and a heated towel rail.
The separate family bathroom comprises a panelled bath, close-coupled WC, wash hand basin set within a vanity storage unit, heated towel rail and rear-facing window.
Second Floor
Stairs rise from the landing to the second floor, where two further double bedrooms can be found.
The first enjoys a large rear-facing dormer window, radiator and offers excellent proportions, while a connecting door leads through to the third bedroom, another comfortable double featuring a front-facing dormer window and radiator. These versatile rooms provide excellent accommodation for family and guests
Outside
To the rear of the property is a shared courtyard, providing useful outside access and a pleasant space to step out and enjoy the fresh Cornish air.
