Property description

Chy An Carrack is located in arguably one of the most desirable settings within Cornwall, let alone St Ives, offering completely unobstructed views over St Ives Bay and the Hayle Estuary.
Offered to the market for the first time since our clients purchased the property in 2004, this charming period home has been completely remodelled and refurbished at great expense by the current vendors, creating a beautiful flowing home and providing a contemporary and luxurious finish. All of the windows throughout the property have been replaced and are now hardwood double glazed units and in the majority of the rooms these are complemented by the installation of plantation shutters which help retain the character and charm of this exceptional home.

There are many fabulous rooms within the property creating a wonderful feeling of space, ranging from the formal sitting room which features a \"Clearview\" multi fuel stove set within a granite fireplace with slate hearth, to the impressive \"live-in\" kitchen / dining area which provides French doors to a private and enclosed rear courtyard, perfect for alfresco dining.

The beautifully designed bespoke \"Siematic\" kitchen is finished in a light blue colour and completed by granite work surfaces. The kitchen has been fitted with a comprehensive range of \"Siemens\" appliances which include a double oven, multi-function oven and dishwasher, together with an induction hob and over-sized fridge and freezer. This area is flooded with natural light from both the large window at the dining end which features a wonderful view across the ocean towards the Hayle Estuary as well as the French doors which provide access to the courtyard and gardens.

Further accommodation on the ground floor extends from the sitting room and kitchen/dining area through a hallway to the front entrance and spacious conservatory, which provides an impressive uninterrupted view both out to sea and towards the Hayle Estuary. This area is perfect for all year enjoyment as there is an independent electric heater fitted to allow use during the winter months.

To complete the accommodation on the ground floor there is a utility room, cloakroom / wc together with an office / study which could be used as bedroom 5 if required. Within the study there is a fitted book case and matching desk with drawers. All of these areas are accessed via an internal hallway/lobby which also provides access to the forecourt parking area.

On the first floor there are four spacious, double bedrooms together with a family bathroom. The master bedroom in particular, located at the front of the property and therefore enjoying the most spectacular views out across the ocean, features a sizeable en suite shower room together with a range of fitted wardrobes and a dressing area.
Bedroom 4, which is located at the rear of the property, provides what was previously an en suite shower room but has been converted into a laundry room by the current vendors. Within this bedroom there is an external door which leads directly onto the rear garden therefore making perfect access to the washing machine and tumble dryer located within. All of the plumbing is still in place should any potential purchaser wish to transform this area back into an en suite.

The gardens and grounds are mainly located to the southern side of the property and have been mostly laid to lawn. The rear garden has been stepped into 2 terraces together with a patio seating area and offers a wide range of places to sit and enjoy the view or simply to sun bathe. At the top of the garden there is a timber shed which is perfect for the storage of gardening equipment and sun bathing furniture.
The front entrance and conservatory lead on to a gravelled side garden which has been beautifully constructed by our clients and provides a seated area to maximise the view of St Ives and out across the Bay. From this area a patio extends to the rear courtyard, which offers a sheltered and private area for relaxation and entertainment. A spiral staircase from the corner of the rear courtyard provides immediate access to the terraced gardens above.
