San Lorenzo Court

San Lorenzo Court was constructed by award-winning McCarthy Stone in 2013 providing providing independent retirement living specifically for the over 60's. The development consists of 37 one and two-bedroom apartments with all home owners enjoying the peace-of-mind provided by the day-to-day support of our House Manager who oversees the smooth running of the development. All apartments are equipped with a 24-hour emergency call facility and sophisticated intercom system providing both a visual and verbal link to the main development entrance. San Lorenzo Court benefits from superb communal facilities including a homeowners' lounge, laundry room, scooter room and landscaped gardens. There is also the excellent guest suite widely used by visiting family and friends for which a small nightly charge applies.

This is a friendly and socially active community and It’s so easy to make new friends and to lead a busy and fulfilled life at San Lorenzo Court. There are always plenty of regular activities and, whilst there is something for everyone, home owners ‘dip in and out’ as they wish.

The Local Area

San Lorenzo Court is located within just a very short walk to a Tesco store with bus routes, bars and restaurants on the adjacent St Ives Road and the beautiful and popular coastal Town of St Ives is approximately 1 mile away.
Carbis Bay is the perfect destination for a relaxing day at the beach. The bay’s wooded cliffsides and situation in St Ives Bay assure tranquil clear blue waters, making it the ideal spot for swimming.
The golden beach itself is perfect for soaking up the sun on warm summer days, or constructing elegant castles in the sand.

Adjacent, you will find the picturesque town of St Ives allures with its cobbled streets, art galleries, and vibrant culture. Meander through narrow alleys adorned with boutiques, soaking in the artistic ambiance that inspired luminaries like Barbara Hepworth. Perhaps one of the most scenic railway journeys in Cornwall, there is a train connecting Carbis Bay and St Ives. Change at St Erth for the mainline to explore further afield.
