Perched on a peaceful residential street, just a four-minute drive from Hayle town centre and a five-minute drive from the beach, this exquisitely refurbished chapel is a real showstopper. Inside, it's a divine canvas of high ceilings and hardwood floors blessed by heaps of natural light. Original features offer glimpses into the building's storied past – that church pew in the entryway has our whole heart – while a contemporary design aesthetic promises comfort and style. With its renovated open-plan layout – including a floating staircase leading to a mezzanine lounge – the living area offers an inviting space primed for relaxation. We especially love the fully-equipped kitchen, dressed to the nines for home chefs with state-of-the-art appliances and a majestic breakfast bar. With not one but two private terraces, this home's outdoor spaces beckon you to unwind in the splendour of your surroundings. Spend mornings sipping coffee in the sunshine on the rattan lounge chairs and, come sunset, fire up the barbecue for an alfresco feast on the dining terrace – the perfect way to refuel after a swim in the sea.

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.
