A beautiful and unique cottage stands peacefully across the courtyard from the owners’ property, just 10 minutes walk into downtown St Ives. It is situated on a quiet lane just above the town centre with countryside views and delightful walks on one side and the stunning artistic town of St Ives on the other. The main shopping areas, restaurants, and harbour are just a short walk away while the quiet and peace of the countryside surround the cosy Cornish cottage on your return. Stylishly restored with vaulted ceilings to maximise the stunning St Ives light, Little Barn at Bahavella perfectly typifies the expression ‘good things come in small packages’. This gorgeous attached property retains the cosiness of an authentic Cornish cottage and has been restored using reclaimed materials from the original barn including beautiful granite stones, handmade reclaimed window sills and original Delabole slate tiles in the bathroom.
The cottage has a large bedroom with king-size bed, double aspect windows and roof light, one large sitting/kitchen area with dining table and sofa-bed, a good-sized hallway for storing those buckets and spades or artisan purchases, and a bathroom with contemporary bath and shower fittings. From the comfortable seating in the living area the sea-views across the meadow remind you how truly close you are to the beautiful and renowned beaches of St Ives. There is parking for one car and an additional studio space for budding artists, which includes access to an outside garden area with countryside and sea views. |
