Situated in an attractive, narrow street, just 50 yards above the harbour and a few minutes' walk from Porthmeor Beach, this old fisherman's cottage is built from the ballast bricks from ships which used to call into St Ives to collect tin. It has has been completely restored by its fashion designer/artist owners to provide simple yet stylish accommodation. The cottage is in a conservation area in the oldest part of St Ives, with shops, art galleries, pubs and restaurants an easy walk along colourful, narrow streets and alleyways, which are alive with sound and movement.

St Ives offers superb sandy beaches, ideal for swimming and surfing (wind breaks and surf boards are provided at the cottage), while for those wishing to explore further afield, there is a coastal path in both directions and many beautiful coves, headlands and landmarks (Cape Cornwall, Lands End, Sennen Cove, St Michael's Mount) within easy driving distance.

Much thought has gone into the planning, decoration and furnishing of Church Place. Attractive fabrics and textiles and original paintings by the owner serve to enhance its appeal.
