Step Inside

Set in a prominent location overlooking the characterful rooftops and blue bay of St Ives, Sandpiper is a wonderful stone townhouse recently transformed to the highest standards. Open your holiday door to a welcoming relaxed ambiance where original period features blend flawlessly with more modern order. Set across the ground floor are two stunning bedrooms, to the front is the beautiful Super King master bedroom furnished in soft creams and country French inspired furniture with relaxed armchair, perfect for a mornings coffee-with-a-view. The large ensuite wetroom completes the luxury feel. To the rear a further Super King (zip/lock) bedded room with ensuite shower room. A central staircase leads from the hallway to the first floor. Achitecturally designed, this space has been cleverly mapped out to create a generous open plan footprint from the front double windows to the rear of the house. This wonderful elevated space is flooded with natural light and offers a holiday hub for guests to relax on the comfortable sofas. Dress the dining table up for celebrations or keep it simple for lazy lunches and indulgent brunches. The kitchen is cleverly tucked away (just 3 steps down) yet still retains the open plan ambiance, think New York loft style with the vaulted exposed wooden beams. This ship shape kitchen is fully fitted with top of the range appliances and offers ample preparation and storage space for your Cornish fare. From the living room, a door leads through to the 2nd floor staircase. Climb to the penthouse level bedroom with King bed and contemporary style ensuite shower room. From the moment you arrive this impressive holiday home-from-home oozes style from the unique and inspiring artwork handpainted by the owner, the cool fabrics and prints of the soft furnishings to the thoughtful layout.


On Your Doorstep

Accessed from the ground floor bedroom one ensuite and master bedroom ensuite is a small gravelled courtyard, an enclosed space offering the perfect storage for holiday and beach kit. To the front of Sandpiper is a wonderful outside seating area with built in bench style seating and a wooden dining table. Choose to dine al fresco as the sun sets below the bay or catch the mornings rays as St Ives comes to life. Original granite steps lead down to the parking space just below the house. Wander from your door and into the bustle of this charming town within minutes. A plethora of trendy cafes and bars offer a tempting rest stop or indulge Cornish style in any of the local restaurants. If a day on the beach is on the cards then pack up and head to Porthmeor Beach, a surfers top spot, or choose the more sheltered waters and white sands of Porthminster Beach. The picture perfect harbour combines the working fishing boats, day cruisers and kayakers alike all enjoying the azure blue seas of West Cornwall. 

Whatever the occasion, whatever the season, bring family life together at Sandpiper.
