About this property

Ellis Winters are delighted to offer ‘Scenic Cottage’, a truly unique home set in a picturesque rural position on the edge of the historic market town of St Ives, offering countryside surroundings while remaining within easy walking distance of St Ives and its amenities.

Beautifully extended and comprehensively renovated by the current owners, the property now provides approximately 1,750 sq ft of versatile accommodation, set within a plot of around 1.5 acres (STS). It also presents an excellent opportunity for income generation, with the option to continue the well-established caravan storage business currently operating within the rear paddock.

The accommodation is exceptionally flexible, comprising three/four bedrooms and two/three reception rooms. A versatile ground floor room is currently used as a home office but lends itself equally well as a fourth bedroom. In addition, there are two further reception spaces, alongside a wonderful refitted kitchen/breakfast room with bi-folding doors opening directly onto the landscaped rear garden.

The principal bedroom is a standout feature, benefitting from an en suite bathroom and a private balcony enjoying far-reaching south-westerly countryside views. Further accommodation includes a modern utility room, first floor family bathroom, and cloakroom.

Externally, the home continues to impress. Approximately half an acre of the plot is dedicated to beautifully maintained formal gardens, enjoying a desirable south-westerly aspect and open countryside outlook. To the front, there is ample off-road parking, while gated vehicular side access leads to the rear paddock. Here, two substantial outbuildings are found, a 425 sq ft barn and a 675 sq ft portacabin-style building, both offering excellent versatility for a range of uses, subject to requirements.

A viewing is essential to fully appreciate the setting, outstanding views, quality of finish, and the rare combination of lifestyle and business opportunity this exceptional home provides.
