Description

Nestled in Halsetown, just on the edge of St Ives, this one-bedroom property presents a compelling opportunity for renovation and investment. Its location is particularly advantageous, offering the charm of village life while remaining only a couple of miles from the bustling heart of St Ives, where beautiful beaches, shops, and restaurants await. The home is set on spacious grounds that allow for ample off-road parking for multiple vehicles, making it ideal for families or potential rental opportunities. The existing layout includes an open-plan living area with a mezzanine that provides extra storage space. A well-appointed bathroom and a double bedroom complete the interior setup. Significantly, this property comes with active planning permission (PA24/03979) to extend with a single-storey addition that will introduce a second bedroom and utility room—work on the utility room has already commenced, laying the groundwork for future enhancements. In addition to its functional aspects, the outdoor space features various sheds and an above-ground swimming pool alongside a designated area for relaxation such as a hot tub. This versatility offers exciting potential for landscaping or creating an attractive outdoor retreat. Adding to its character, this property boasts an artistic legacy; it was originally constructed as an art studio by Alan Lowndes, a figure associated with renowned artists like Barbara Hepworth. This historical context not only enriches its appeal but also creates an inspiring atmosphere that may attract those with creative pursuits. The sale is chain-free, making it particularly appealing for investors or builders looking to capitalize on renovation possibilities. With some customization and vision, this space holds significant potential to evolve into an inviting home or lucrative rental property. Halsetown itself provides scenic countryside views and accessible walking paths while maintaining convenience through local amenities including a pub that serves food. The proximity to St Ives ensures residents can enjoy coastal living without sacrificing essential services or cultural experiences.
