Step outside onto the private balcony, furnished for relaxing with a glass of wine while you soak up sweeping views across St Ives Bay to Godrevy Lighthouse. A shared lawn garden offers extra space to unwind, complete with a handy drying area, plus a footpath leading directly down to Carbis Bay's golden sands. The cosy, well-presented bedroom features a king-size bed and a second TV with DVD player, tucked beneath low, sloping ceilings that add to its characterful charm. Private parking for one car is provided, a welcome convenience given the apartment's hillside position.
Picture mornings spent on the balcony, watching the light shift across the bay as Godrevy Lighthouse stands sentinel on the horizon. Wander down the footpath to Carbis Bay's sheltered beach for a dip or a spot of paddleboarding, then return for a lazy lunch on your own private terrace. As the sun dips, settle into the lounge with a bottle of something chilled, the whole hillside hush wrapping around you like a blanket.
