This is a lovely four-bedroom family home in a quiet location with superb views over St Ives Bay yet only 600 metres from Porthmeor Beach.
Carthew Terrace was built in the late Edwardian period on the hillside above Porthmeor Beach and benefits from unobstructed views out across St Ives Bay as far as Trevose Head. The current owners have been in residence for the last 17 years and over that time have refurbished and modernised the property, creating an extremely stylish and comfortable family home.
Entrance & Ground Floor - The front door opens into a small tiled lobby area with a further door opening to a spacious open plan reception room with beech wood flooring, a large bay window overlooking the front garden, a recessed Rais Log Burner, bespoke built in bookshelves, the staircase to the first floor and at the rear a door in to the kitchen dining room. The kitchen dining room is lit by four roof Velux's, has engineered oak wood flooring, free standing kitchen units with stainless steel work surfaces and a large central island with breakfast bar and a concrete work surface and with space and plumbing for a dishwasher below. Integrated appliances include an oven and induction hob. On the left of the door is a utility area with space and plumbing for a washing machine with glass fronted cupboards above and a bespoke built-in wine rack to the side. The dining area has space for a large table and built-in bench seating along one wall. At the rear of the kitchen by the door to the back garden is a recently refurbished shower room with a walk-in shower, wood effect porcelain tiles, a back to wall WC, wall mounted sink and a good-sized storage cupboard.
First Floor - The stairs ascend to the first floor where there are three double bedrooms and the family bathroom. Two of the bedrooms overlook the rear garden and the other overlooks the front, has a large bay window and views out over St Ives Bay and Porthmeor beach. The family bathroom with marble flooring has a free-standing double ended bath with a handheld shower, back to wall WC and wall mounted sink. The bathroom also contains a cupboard housing the central heating boiler. There is access to a boarded loft with power and a drop-down ladder on the first-floor landing.
Second Floor - The stairs to the second floor are lit by a large Velux window. The principal bedroom is accessed off a small landing. The part vaulted room has a large dormer window with glass side panels affording quite splendid views across St Ives Bay, Porthmeor Beach, The Island and the St Nicolas Chapel and on a clear day the views extend to Trevose Head. The en suite bathroom has a slate tiled floor, walk in shower, WC and sink
The Exterior & Gardens - There is parking in front of the property for one car and a further private space to the rear.
Front Garden - A low-level wall fronts the property with a slate path leading to the front door. To the right of the path is a gravelled area.

On the upper level is a gravelled area containing a large mature Olive tree. Steps down to an entertaining area with a side border with a mix of planting and a large corner palm tree. Three steps descend to the back doors and entrance to the kitchen.

I was struck by the views on arrival to this home and just how quiet a location it is and yet so close to Porthmeor beach. A rare find.
