Detail
Our stunning dog friendly Victorian property in the village of Lelant, close to St Ives, is ideal for visitors wishing to explore the beautiful area.
Downstairs the property has generous living accommodation with a light and spacious lounge and a separate dining room, both with wood burners. The house has the benefit of two bathrooms and there are three bedrooms at first floor level. The kitchen and sun room open directly on to a large, private, fully enclosed garden at the rear.
A bus stop, 50 metres from the property, provides a frequent service into St Ives. The house is only a short walk to Lelant railway station on the scenic St Ives branch line, ideal for access to St Ives and Carbis Bay, where parking can be difficult especially in high season. You can also explore further afield, as the rail link at St Erth will take you on the Penzance to Paddington main line providing access to main towns such as Truro, Falmouth and Newquay.
For your four-legged friends, Porthkidney Beach, within walking distance of the property, is dog friendly all year round, with lifeguards during the summer season. There are also plenty of coastal walks to choose from. Close by at Hayle you will find sand dunes and large expanse of beaches. Gwithian is popular with surfers and families as it has parking and a cafe for refreshments, and at low tide there are large rock pools for little ones to play in.
If you want to eat out, you will find a selection of pubs and restaurants within a short walk from the property. For those who want to eat in, the kitchen offers all the facilities you will need, and the covered decking area is perfect for al fresco dining! Watch the stars and enjoy planning the next day’s adventures.
Lelant Saltings is a short walk away, popular for walking and cycling as it is flat, so suitable for pushchairs. The estuary is popular for bird watchers, look out for little egrets, herons and oystercathers. There are plenty of places to explore including Nature Reserves, follow the Poldark Trail, wander around the shops in towns such as St Ives and Hayle, or have a game of golf at the nearby West Cornwall Golf Club.
