Barnoon Hill, St. Ives, Cornwall, TR26

Tregarthen is a lovely, detached, well-loved family home, which has been in the same family for over 30 years. It's tucked away in a very special setting with gated access through a high-level traditional stone wall, which offers a wonderful sense of privacy and seclusion.

The entrance level, although accessed from the front gardens, is the upper floor of the house, with stairs then descending to the lower ground floor and bedrooms. At entrance level, there is a welcoming entrance hall, which in turn leads to both the living room and kitchen/dining room. The kitchen is well fitted with a double oven, gas hob, dishwasher, double sink and fridge. There is ample room for a dining table and a large sliding door leads to the
balcony, which runs the full length of the house. The balcony is also accessed from the well proportioned living room which offers sea views and features a coal effect gas fire (not currently functioning) set in an attractive fireplace.

The views from both the kitchen and the living room are glorious. Also on this floor is a cloakroom. Stairs descend from the entrance hall to the lower ground floor, which comprises three double bedrooms, two with en suite bathrooms, and a further family shower room. There is also a utility room on this level (with space for a washing machine and a tumble dryer) and a door leading to the garden.

Gardens
The gardens are a wonderful feature of Tregarthen, being largely level and laid to lawn. There is a beautifully presented and well-established garden to the front, enclosed with stone walling and offering a high-level of privacy. A stone path leads to the front door, which is approached up 6 steps. The rear garden is secluded and offers wonderful views. There is a summerhouse, shed, outside shower and studio with bedroom and shower room. There is a separate seating area outside the studio room, perfect for al fresco dining.

St Ives is one of Cornwall's prettiest harbour towns, with quaint narrow streets and traditional cottages, a vibrant quayside and fishing harbour, and fabulous sandy beaches. Previously voted best family holiday destination by Coast magazine and one of TripAdvisor's top 10 European beaches, St Ives is an historic town, and now a famous art scene, hosting The Tate, The Barbara Hepworth Museum and The Sculpture Garden, to name but a few.

This bustling and thriving community offers a varied and wonderful selection of both high street and independent shops, great pubs, cafés, and restaurants. It goes without saying that the local scenery is stunning and offers an abundance of glorious coastal walks and outdoor activities, including surfing, paddle boarding, tennis, and golf. It is little wonder that St Ives is often described as the jewel in Cornwall's crown.

Tregarthen is well placed, being only two streets back from the harbour and beaches, and about 350 yards to the town centre.

About half a mile from the house, is the train station which provides regular connections to St Erths (10 minutes) for the London bound train to Paddington.
