Formerly a chapel, this exquisitely restored home is about as heavenly as they come. You'll find it peacefully perched on a residential street in Hayle, just a four-minute drive from the historic town centre and a five-minute drive from the beach. Spacious, light-filled and brimming with contemporary comforts, it's the perfect abode for families. Inside, it's a timeless canvas of high ceilings and hardwood floors. Original features – including pewters, stained glass windows and, though purely decorative, an old church balcony – add bundles of charm while offering a glimpse into the building's storied past. Admire it all from the open-plan living space, snuggled up on the sofa, baking cookies in the fully-equipped kitchen or roosted at the dining table for a delicious home-cooked feast. Outside, the street-facing terrace offers an idyllic spot for sipping tea in the morning sun before a day of exploring. Here, you're well-positioned to explore the gems of West Cornwall. The beautiful town of St Ives, with its surf-worthy waves and thriving art scene, is just a fifteen-minute drive away, or a few hours on foot if you fancy a scenic hike along the coast. Though, with Hayle's three miles of golden sand beaches practically on...

About St Ives

You could easily mistake St Ives for a town on the coast of Italy, France or Spain, thanks to its smart waterfront overlooking the clear, blue sea and white-sand beach.
