About the place
A wonderfully contemporary property with luxurious furnishings, plush décor and high-quality fittings. The original large rooms and bay windows add a sense of airy brightness, but a recent renovation has brought a contemporary interior with an especially modern kitchen.
The living spaces within the home are cleverly laid out and feature a large open plan kitchen and dining room which spills out to the alfresco entertainment area via two sets of bifold doors. The heated swimming pool is a wonderful feature, you can take a dip without having to leave the property. Running alongside, there are loungers for catching some rays as well as a small outhouse with room for storing surfboards and beach equipment, plus a shower for washing off sand and sea salt from your skin.
Two sitting rooms (both with entertainment systems) mean that parents get to relax and unwind with grown-up conversation while children watch their own movies or TV shows, and four stunning bedrooms offer exquisite comfort and well-thought-out versatility to suit both couples and family groups.
All bedrooms are located on the first floor:
Master Bedroom; This beautiful en-suite bedroom features a large bay window, a hot pink wicker armchair for a pop of colour, and a luxury super king size bed with fluffy pillows and high-quality bedding. En-suite features a contemporary design and has a walk-in shower.
Bedroom Two; This bright, light-filled room features twin beds with crisp white linen and neutral greys for a calming ambience.
Bedroom Three; Elegantly styled, this en-suite room is furnished with a high quality, double bed and crisp cotton linen, with a large chest of drawers and freestanding wardrobe providing storage. En-suite with a walk-in shower with rain head attachment.
Bedroom Four; This stunning room features two single beds, a pedestal table with reading lamp, and a large window that floods the room with natural light.
Family bathroom: Located on the first floor, the family bathroom features a bathtub with shower screen and rain head attachment.
Outside is a wonderfully laid out pool terrace which wraps around the heated swimming pool and is furnished with four sun loungers and two outdoor living suites as well as a timber-clad outbuilding that houses a cloakroom and WC as well as a separate room for surfboard and beach gear storage.
Parking for three cars is provided on the gravel drive to the front of the property, but additional parking can be found in Porthrepta Long Stay Car Park which is just a minute's walk from the house.
*The pool is available all year round although it's not heated to the full temperature between October and April.
The area
You could easily mistake St Ives for a town on the coast of Italy, France or Spain, thanks to its smart waterfront overlooking the clear, blue sea and white-sand beach. Just wandering along the charming narrow, cobbled streets is a delightful experience.
But it’s not just its picturesque appearance that makes this former fishing town a popular place to stay, particularly for families. St Ives has one of the best food scenes in Cornwall. Brilliant beachside restaurants serve locally caught, fresh fish, and you can bask in the sun at creative cafes or enjoy Cornish ice cream on summer days.
Carbis Bay holidays have a little bit of everything. There’s a thriving culture scene, the beautiful beaches and of course, plenty of restaurants to keep the foodies happy.
