1 bed bungalow for sale

Mount Batten House, Halsetown, St. Ives, Cornwall TR26

Located in Halsetown, on the fringe of St Ives, this one-bedroom home offers a fantastic project opportunity for those looking to create their dream property in a highly sought-after area.

Set within generous grounds and offering ample off-road parking for several vehicles, the property already has a solid foundation to build upon. Inside, you’ll find an open-plan living area with a mezzanine level providing additional storage, a well-equipped bathroom, and one double bedroom.

The property comes with active planning permission (PA24/03979) for a single-storey extension to add a second bedroom and utility room – with work on the utility room already started.

Outside, the grounds include numerous sheds, an above-ground swimming pool and hot tub area, and parking for 4–6 cars, offering endless potential for landscaping or outdoor leisure space.

Adding to its unique charm, the property has a rich artistic heritage - the original building was once an art studio built and used by renowned artist Alan Lowndes, who was closely connected with Barbara Hepworth and the Tate Gallery in St Ives. This fascinating history adds a rare cultural dimension to the home, making it an inspiring choice for art lovers and creative minds alike.

This is a chain-free sale, making it an ideal choice for investors, builders, or those seeking a renovation project with plenty of scope to add value. With some finishing touches and imagination, this property could be transformed into a beautiful home.

Halsetown is a village which lies just a couple of miles from St Ives town centre with a regular bus service. It features attractive countryside scenery and footpaths.
