Description

Nestled in the heart of the picturesque coastal town of St Ives, this sizable five-bedroom mid-terrace townhouse presents an excellent opportunity for renovation and investment. Just a short walk from the vibrant shopping streets, harbor, and stunning beaches, this property is ideally situated for those looking to enjoy the best of seaside living while also benefiting from its investment potential. Spanning three floors, this home features flexible living spaces that can be tailored to suit various needs. The ground floor includes an entrance hallway leading to a spacious lounge with a double-glazed bay window and a charming wood-carved fireplace. A separate dining room/study offers additional living options or the potential for conversion into a sixth bedroom if desired. The kitchen/breakfast room, with its galley-style layout and direct access to a rear courtyard, is functional but ripe for modernization. The first floor accommodates three or four bedrooms alongside a shower room, providing ample space for family or guests. Notably, one of these rooms could easily serve as a second kitchen due to its configuration. The attic bedroom adds another dimension to the property, featuring dormer windows that frame lovely sea views. While the property is in need of some updating, it boasts gas central heating and mostly double-glazed windows, making it comfortable as-is while allowing new owners to add their personal touch over time. The outside space includes a raised front garden and a small courtyard at the rear with access to a side lane—ideal for outdoor gatherings or private retreats. This freehold property not only benefits from its prime location but also offers residents parking options along the street with council application. It falls within low-risk flood zones for surface water as well as rivers and sea, ensuring peace of mind. With multiple opportunities for enhancement and customization, this townhouse stands out as an appealing investment in one of Cornwall's most desirable areas.
