Welcome to Coastal Luxury Living

Situated within one of Carbis Bay’s most desirable developments, this gorgeous three-bedroom, two-bathroom penthouse apartment features two large balconies and commands uninterrupted front-line sea views, showcasing the breath-taking panoramas of St Ives Bay.

From the golden sands of Carbis Bay Beach to Godrevy Lighthouse, the sweeping scenery encompasses Hawkes Point, St Ives town, The Island, and stretches all the way to Trevose Head. Beautiful Carbis Bay beach, directly below the apartment, is a few minutes walk down the hill - a few more on the way up!

Iconic Design Meets Coastal Charm

The red-brick construction of Gwel Marten is a distinctive feature rarely seen in Cornwall, where local stone and rendered finishes

are the norm. This unique architectural style establishes Gwel Marten as an iconic landmark in the area.

Spacious & Sunlit Interiors

Inside, the apartment offers expansive, light-filled spaces. Spacious rooms and high ceilings provide a sense of grandeur, and while the property has been freshly carpeted and decorated, a new kitchen would transform the space.

Spanning 1735 sqft / 161.1 sqm, this large apartment would make an ideal permanent residence or a luxury second home/holiday let. There are beautifully maintained communal gardens to enjoy and a covered parking space. That in itself is worth a lot in this area!
