5 bed semi-detached house for sale

Park Avenue, St Ives TR26

One of the first things that will strike you about this place is the incredible, uninterrupted view right across St Ives Bay – it’s a real showstopper. Spread over three floors and offering around 2,635 sq ft of space, this handsome semi-detached property sits in a brilliant spot just a short stroll from the harbour and beaches. With panoramic sea views, lovely period features, a garden, and off-street parking for up to three cars (which is a real rarity around here).

The layout has been thoughtfully designed to create a balance between private living and income-generating potential. Each of the ground floor studio apartments has a private entrance, kitchen, bathroom, and separate living and sleeping space. The front studio has a large living area and separate en-suite bedroom and enjoys panoramic views across St Ives Bay. Both studios are beautifully presented and are let out to holiday guests. There is an option to purchase items of furniture in the studios so you can start earning from day one.

Via private front door entrance to upstairs, the first floor has three generous bedrooms with original wood floorboards, each with an ensuite. The main bedroom features a bay window perfectly positioned to take in the sea views.

The top floor features a large bright and airy kitchen/dining/living space leading to the patio and terraced garden. There’s a separate space also used currently as living room with kitchenette, bathroom, and a fourth bedroom or study which could be adapted into another self-contained apartment or expanded living space, depending on your needs.

Outdoor space and parking – a rare combination in St Ives

The rear outdoor space, accessed directly from the kitchen/dining area, is arranged over two levels—with a lower patio and an upper garden that enjoys sweeping views across the bay. There’s also off-street parking for up to three cars – a valuable feature in this part of town where parking is at a premium.

The property is well established for holiday letting, and there is clear scope to increase income through further lettings or to how you wish to use the space.

Agents note: The property currently holds C1 planning use and is not classed as a standalone residential dwelling. For those wishing to reinstate it entirely into a family home change of use would need to be applied for.
