Hillside Verified listing

Tucked away in a prime position in central St Ives, Hillside is a beautifully renovated Victorian townhouse that blends timeless charm with modern comforts. With generous proportions, high ceilings, and thoughtful design throughout, this elegant coastal escape comfortably sleeps six guests (eight with the sofa bed), and is just minutes from the golden sands of Porthminster Beach and the bustling harbour.

Set over three spacious floors, Hillside offers a rare treat for St Ives – a large, enclosed garden, multiple sun terraces, and a secure private parking space directly opposite in a gated car park.

On arrival, a stylish monochrome tiled hallway sets the tone, leading through to the garden room – a relaxed second lounge that doubles as a TV snug for children or a cosy retreat after beach days. A ground-floor family bathroom with walk-in shower is conveniently placed nearby – ideal for washing off sandy toes.

Two beautifully appointed double bedrooms are also located on the ground floor. One features a large bay window and en-suite shower room, while the second enjoys garden views stretching over the rooftops of St Ives – a peaceful space for rest and relaxation.

Upstairs, the first-floor living space is a showstopper. A bright, open-plan kitchen, dining and lounge area spans the entire floor, offering views across the rooftops to the harbour, the island, and out to sea. The fully-equipped kitchen includes sleek Siemens appliances and all you need for holiday feasts, while the dining area comfortably seats 6–8 guests. After dinner, gather on the plush sofas for a film night or games with family and friends.

A hidden gem awaits at the top of the house: a charming eaves bedroom reached by a spiral staircase. This private space features its own en-suite bathroom with a freestanding bath, and a stunning glass-fronted balcony – the perfect spot for your morning coffee or a sunset tipple with panoramic views of St Ives harbour and beyond.

Outside, Hillside boasts a rare enclosed garden with two generous decked terraces – ideal for al fresco dining, BBQs, and summer evenings under the stars. With space to stretch out, unwind, and dine in privacy, it’s a true luxury in this sought-after seaside town.

With four bathrooms (three en-suite), Smart TVs in multiple rooms, superfast WiFi, and everything you need for a comfortable coastal escape, Hillside is a standout choice for those wanting to experience St Ives in style – all just a stone’s throw from its shops, galleries, beaches and restaurants.
