About this property
Stones Reef | Cool & characterful 3 bedroom house with parking in St Ives
Stones Reef is a cool and contemporary characterful house situated just 15 minutes on foot down to St Ives’ town centre, harbour and beaches. It benefits from having its own enclosed garden and terrace in which you can retreat to after a hard day lounging (or surfing) on Porthmeor beach! Add to that the two driveway parking spaces and cosy open fire and you have the perfect all year round holiday home from home.
Stones Reef is set over two floors…
Ground floor has living room with open fire and 50″ Smart TV with Sky/Netflix/Spotify, contemporary sunny dining room with bi-fold opening glass doors on two sides, kitchen, shower room and two bedrooms, one with king-size bed and the other with two singles.
On the first floor you will discover an extra snug lounge area with 32″ TV, window seating and stunning sea views, plus one further bedroom with king-sized bed and its own en-suite bathroom.
The second living room is a real bonus and an ideal space for children to play or watch a film on Netflix, or perhaps for their parents to escape to for a little peace and quiet! The picture window offers fabulous far-reaching panoramic views of Godrevy Lighthouse, Stones Reef (hence the house name) and St Ives Bay and beyond, and the comfy window seat an ideal spot on which to lounge or read in peace.
For those with furry friends one dog is welcome at Stones Reef with some perfect doggy walks just a stones throw away. Dogs are allowed on the beaches in St Ives for most of the year although there are daytime restrictions during July and August.
The garden at Stones Reef is enclosed so perfectly suitable for children and dogs alike. A bbq is provided and can be enjoyed on the terrace with the dining room bi-fold doors fully open to truly make the most of the inside/outside space.
Some stunning coastal and inland walks are easily accessible as Stones Reef is located just a few minutes walk away from the SouthWest coast path. Why not enjoy the amazing coastal scenery on a long walk to Zennor, with a pasty and pint waiting for you at the other end in the Tinners Arms!
Porthmeor is the closest of St Ives’ beautiful beaches to Stones Reef, just a ten minute walk down to one of Cornwall’s most stunning sandy, kid friendly surf spots and home of Tate St Ives (maybe add a couple of minutes on for your return walk back up the hill!). A few minutes further on will bring you to St Ives harbour, town centre and the old fishing quarter of Downalong with its many art galleries and twisting turning cobbled streets. Porthgwidden beach and Porthminster beach are also easily accessible, as are their lovely beach fronting restaurants and café bars.
Just a two minute short stroll from Stones Reef is a well equipped local shop for all essential supplies.
The house is centrally heated plus, for those cosy winter breaks, has an open fire to enjoy after a brisk walk, with or without dogs!

We have loved St Ives ever since holidaying here many years ago. After living in Birmingham and London we eventually managed to fulfil our dream and make the move to Cornwall. We now live just outside St Ives, and absolutely love it!
