A sophisticated retreat nestled in St Ives' historic heart, just steps from golden sands

Chance Cottage, St Ives, is a recently modernised retreat nestled in the heart of the historic Downalong district. The sophisticated kitchen showcases sleek granite worktops and contemporary appliances, including a dedicated wine cooler, creating an ideal space for culinary exploration. The open-plan living area flows seamlessly from a comfortable lounge, featuring a generous modern surround sofa and 37″ plasma TV with DVD player, into an inviting dining space where six guests can gather around a stylish table for shared meals and conversation.

Step outside to discover a rare gem in St Ives – an enclosed courtyard garden offering a secluded haven for peaceful moments and al fresco dining. The property features three beautifully appointed bedrooms on the first floor: two king-size rooms (one convertible to twins) and a double, all furnished with quality duck down and feather duvets. Two luxury bathrooms complete this seaside haven: a ground-floor wet room with a shower bath, and a first-floor bathroom boasting a walk-in shower.

Imagine waking to the gentle call of seabirds, enjoying your morning coffee in the private courtyard as sunlight dances across the stone walls. As evening falls, gather with loved ones in the open-plan living space, sharing stories of beach adventures and planning tomorrow's coastal explorations while the warm glow of sunset bathes the room in golden light.

Chance Cottage, St Ives, enjoys an enviable position in the heart of this iconic Cornish town. Art enthusiasts will appreciate the proximity to Tate St Ives (400m), where the Barbara Hepworth Sculpture Garden provides a mesmerising blend of artistic masterpieces amid subtropical plantings.
