To take full advantage of the stunning sea views, the upstairs of the house has
been converted into a large open plan living area with a wide, floor to ceiling
window. This impressively large loft-style lounge has four large couches, a wooden
floor, dining area, study and woodburner stove (plus central heating). By far
the most stunning feature of the house is the panoramic view from this room across
Porthmeor beach, the coast around Hayle and beyond to Trevose, old St Ives, the
Tate Gallery and, to the West, open Atlantic. Seals and dolphins regularly pop
into sight whilst fishing boats appear at the end of the road. Porthmeor
beach is just a five-minute walk, past pitch and putt golf and the bowling green.
Just beyond, past the Tate Gallery, is the town with its pretty harbour, cobbled
streets and cosmopolitan range of restaurants, bars, galleries and shops. All
of St Ives' attractions are within a ten-minute walk from the house.
A few steps from the house is the Cornish Coastal footpath through National Trust
land to Clodgy Point and Zennor. Downstairs, Velnoweth has three large
bedrooms, sleeping a total of six/seven (plus cot). The main bedroom has a super-king
size double bed and a fantastic sea view, enjoyable from the bed. Bedroom two
has bunk beds and a sea view. Bedroom three is another double room. A single sofabed
is available for a seventh person if required. The house has a large kitchen (another
sea view!) with island gas hob, electric oven, microwave, dishwasher, large fridge
freezer and adjoining dining area with large farmhouse table and six chairs. (Upstairs
there is another dining table with six chairs). There is a modern family bathroom
with shower, and two separate WC's. A large utility room houses a washing machine,
sink and plenty of drying space. 
The house is decorated and furnished to a high standard along with
SKY TV, VCR and CD/radio/cassette, videos, CD's, books, recent magazines, fresh
flowers, etc. There is central heating. Outside is a suntrap patio area,
plus a further patio with dining table and gas BBQ and three separate lawned areas.
All are quiet and private. There is a large children's playhouse and swings. The
private parking area will accommodate several cars. |
