Beautifully renovated townhouse in central St Ives with garden & gated parking

Hillside is a beautifully renovated and generously proportioned Victorian townhouse that comfortably sleeps 6 (8 using the sofa bed), located in the very heart of St.Ives. Internally, high ceilings adorn the property which has 3 bedrooms, all of which feature fully lined blackout curtains, with the addition of stylish sustainably sourced teak shutters in Bedrooms One and Two.

The house also boasts 4 bathrooms, 3 of which are en-suite to the 3 double bedrooms and all feature high quality fittings by Italian designers Porcelanosa. As well as 2 separate living areas on the ground and first floor and a stunning large, private rear garden with sun terrace (a real rarity in St. Ives), there is also a private balcony to the bedroom at the top of the property affording wonderful views to the harbour, the Island and Atlantic Ocean.

Conveniently, Hillside also comes with its own private parking space in a gated, private car park directly opposite the house - a rarity in St Ives.

A double entrance leads to a bright and airy hallway featuring polished marble monochrome tiles. Bedroom One, immediately off the hallway, is a beautifully tranquil and spacious room comprising a double bed, large bay window with floor to ceiling double-glazed sash windows and shutters. This leads to an large ensuite bathroom complete with glass-fronted shower.

The adjacent Bedroom Two faces the rear of the house with views over the St. Ives rooftops, provides flexible sleeping accommodation and comprises a double bed, which can be separated to form two single beds if required. This bedroom also has its own en-suite bathroom with a large bath and accompanying shower.

Continuing along the hallway is another bathroom, with a glass-framed rainforest shower. Beyond lies the Garden Room - a gorgeous and peaceful living space affording views over the rear garden and the harbour beyond making it an ideal place to watch TV, read a good book or simply admire the view. A sofa bed enables this room to be utilised as a fourth bedroom if required taking the total number of potential guests to 8.

Upstairs leads to a landing and onto the main living area - the entire floor is open plan with a dining and living space that benefits from dual aspect windows which let the light flow in, but framed by floor to ceiling shutters to afford privacy as needed. The state-of-the- art open plan kitchen-diner seats 8 comfortably and features Siemens appliances throughout, as well as touches such as Dualit kettle and toaster, a wine fridge and Nespresso maker..

The living area features comfy seating and an ultra HDTV with surround sound and Apple TV. Technology at Hillside also includes WiFi and a Sonos wireless sound-system throughout the property.

Back on the landing, which also houses a w/c, a door opens to reveal a spiral staircase that leads up to the top floor and one of the house's best assets - Bedroom Three, in the eaves, with a double bed and en suite bathroom. Externally, a glass balcony can be accessed from the bedroom's glass double doors to afford a spectacular panoramic view of St. Ives harbour, the Island and the ocean beyond.

To the rear is the large fully enclosed garden - a special place and a real rarity in St Ives. Accessed via a spiral staircase from the Garden Room, it features two substantial decked areas with comfortable seating and dining areas - one nearest the house and another at the end of the garden under the pergola with pendant Edison lights, allowing you to enjoy the long summer evenings in the privacy of your own outdoor living space, with an adjacent firebowl. There is ample room to enjoy dining al fresco, with table, chairs and parasol and a Weber Grillmaster BBQ. The garden can also be illuminated with spotlights focused on the 3 palm trees in the central planting areas.

Great property very well located in the centre of town and walking distance to beaches. Property well set out and everything you need for a stay including a bottle of prosecco and clotted cream scones on arrival. Great to have a parking space and outdoor seating area.

Perfect holiday house
Wonderful second week at Hillside. Having warm and sunny weather we were able to enjoy the lovely outside area and bbq, and beautiful Porthminster beach which is just five minutes away. Getting a mid stay clean was much appreciated. A big thank you to the lady who carried out that job fantastically.

Fabulous house
We had a fantastic first week at Hillside. It easily accommodated our large group and being able to sit out in the lovely garden was a big plus. The house had everything we needed for cooking/beach etc and having parking just over the road made it so much easier. Location great as well. Far enough away from the crowds but just a short walk to the shops/restaurants and front. If we came back to St Ives we would definitely stay at Hillcrest again :)

Wonderful house in the very centre of St Yves
The house is ideally located in the centre of St Yves, only a stone throw from the harbour and beach and close to all the (coffee)shops and other amenities St Yves has to offer. It is spacious and welcoming and we spent a wonderful time in the area, soaking in the fresh air and sunshine just after lockdown eased. We will be back!

Summer getaway
Hillside was a fabulous property right in the heart of St Ives. It was perfectly situated for the beaches and harbour with the rare benefit of allocated parking. So much space and a beautifully presented very well equipped house that was all we wanted and more. Would highly recommend it as the perfect base for St Ives and the surrounding area.

Excellent location with great facilities.
We had a lovely week staying at Hillside, the location is very central although as it is St Ives the roads are narrow and steep so driving larger vehicles is quite the experience. The house had excellent modern facilities and all was clean and tidy. I would definitely recommend to friends and family and stay again. The check in details were spot on as was all the other information provided.
