VIEWS ACROSS ST IVES BAY

For sale for the first time since being built in around 1990, this dreamy St Ives house fronts onto and above Hain Walk, between Carbis Bay and Porthminster beaches. Approached off Treloyhan Manor Drive, Rivendell is hidden from sight within its beautiful 1.3 acre grounds yet commands fabulous views across St Ives Bay.

The property’s long driveway entrance completely hides Rivendell and leads to a generous parking and turning area with an outbuilding to echo stabling on one side.

Tucked amongst the trees is a decagon-shaped two bedroom timber cottage ideal for generating a holiday letting income or as overflow accommodation.

Along with open lawns, a huge circular terrace sits to the front of the house looking down over the swathe of green to the sea beyond.

The lower part of the garden offers a small orchard and copse, framing the lawn with about 260ft of frontage and the double gates onto

Hain Walk.

Hain Walk leads to Carbis Bay beach in one direction and to Portminster beach in the other. Each beach is under a 10-minute walk away. A further 10-minute walk leads to St Ives harbour.

The house has been extended by a threestorey, semi-octagonal-style south wing and offers around 4,000 sq ft of adaptable space with potential for multi-generational living.

The original body of the house hosts a reception hall, two large reception rooms, a kitchen and two conservatories with a grand landing on the first floor giving access to four bedrooms and two bathrooms.

The first floor has recently been utilised as a self-contained apartment with the installation of a kitchen in what would most likely have been a dressing area.

The addition of the south wing has effectively created a self-contained four-bedroom annexe, but there are many other possible ways of configuring or using Rivendell’s fantastic spaces, which when combined create one large contemporary house.

Rivendell is on the market for offers over £3,000,000. For more information contact Lillicrap Chilcott on 01872 273473.
