Description

Lovingly restored and beautifully presented, is this period building packed full of history, charm and character in a most idyllic spot in pretty Morvah on the coastal route between St Ives and St Just.

The main living room has double-height ceilings with exposed timbers and three large arched windows flooding the space with natural light. A large stove sits on a solid slate hearth in the central fireplace, with beautiful granite surround.

A turning staircase leads up to a mezzanine gallery landing; a peaceful separate sitting area. Also on this first floor is a gorgeous dual aspect double bedroom with a floor-level arched window and exposed floorboards which bounce the light through the room. Off this bedroom is a bathroom which also opens out to the landing offering versatile accommodation for families.

The kitchen is a large and spacious room with a table that can comfortably seat eight people and a full range of modern units all fitting with space to spare. There is a utility room off the kitchen which easily accommodates all laundry appliances as well as a ceramic Belfast sink and an airing cupboard with storage space.

Two further bedrooms are along the inner hallway, with a family shower room - the larger of the bedrooms is a large double bedroom with huge oak beams exposed and double windows out to the rear garden. There is a door part-way along the hallway as well as two doors leading out to different garden areas; allowing the space to be flexibly arranged depending upon the use.

Every detail at this property has been thought-through, and executed with precision and passion for a beautiful dwelling. The property has been the subject of significant investment and refurbishment by the current owners.

To the front is parking for two cars, with a gravelled area to the side of the Board School that leads to the walled, lawned garden to the side of the property - a serene space with views toward nearby carns across open fields. The rear garden is gravelled currently and has a rear gate for some access, but offers excellent space again for outdoor enjoyment.
