SITUATION As close to Porthmeor Beach as possible and in the heart of St Ives old town, The Barnaloft is a superbly positioned 2 bedroom 'retreat' that is perfect as a lock up and leave bolthole or investment property.
Situated on the beach in the highly sought-after Conservation Area of 'Downalong', a short stroll takes you through the maze of narrow streets lined by fisherman's cottages together with an eclectic range of shops, quality restaurants and galleries. The picturesque granite harbour is of course a focal point for many, complete with local fishing boats that still moor alongside the piers and its own sandy beach. Porthmeor Beach faces the Atlantic Ocean and is a favourite with surfers. On the opposite side of the harbour is Porthminster Beach, popular with families and home to the award winning Porthminster Beach Cafe.
At nearby Lelant, overlooking the Hayle Estuary, there is a spectacular Links Golf Course with views stretching up towards Godrevy Lighthouse. A scenic branch railway line links St. Ives with the main London to Penzance line at nearby St. Erth.
