Property description

Built for Edgar Skinner, Bernard Leach's first business manager, in 1922 and in a sheltered location opposite the famous Leach Pottery, Chy an Creet is a spacious detached house situated in the higher part of St Ives. It enjoys a superb location within walking distance of St Ives Town, beaches and coast path; convenient for schools, leisure centre and children's adventure play area; with excellent access to Penzance and other destinations without needing to drive through town traffic. The spacious and flexible living accommodation includes 3 ensuite bedrooms and a home office/study/playroom. There is a separate bathroom, a cloakroom and a roomy utility/store. There is a generous amount of outside space which includes private parking, a garden with cherry trees and shrubs and an enclosed south-facing patio. Two of the first-floor rooms have views across the town to the sea. This property offers a huge amount of potential as a spacious family home or as a manageable small business to produce an income. The dressing room and the ground floor study could again be used as ensuite letting bedrooms. Please note that the former Parc an Creet Garage has now been demolished and the site has been landscaped.
