The property dates back to the late 1850’s and is reputed to be the original house overlooking what was then St Ives Bowling Green. The house itself is an imposing double fronted end terraced property that has panoramic sea views over the harbour and St Ives Bay.

For the 2012 season, parking will be included in the rental cost.

By foot it takes approximately 5 minutes to access the Tate Gallery, harbour and shops/restaurants and pick of the town’s beaches.

The property has outside amenity space front and back and two on–site parking spaces.
