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... your doorstep, you've plenty of reasons to stick around and explore the local area.

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.
