Located in the much-loved heart of St Ives on Porthmeor Road with Porthmeor Beach on your doorstep, Chymeor is a handsome slate clad 3 storey house with a large open plan kitchen/dining room/snug on the ground floor. Two good sized double bedrooms, a study and a family shower room on the first floor. The second floor boasts the most extraordinary light filled beautiful living space, with skylights, Velux, a vaulted ceiling and a Juliet balcony to take in the breathing taking views of Porthmeor beach, the sea, Mans Head and The Island.
There is a small, but very convenient, terrace to the front of the house, large enough for a bistro dining table and chairs and of course, the beach is just moments away.
This was a cherished home which is now waiting for it’s next chapter. Viewing is very highly recommended to really appreciate everything Chymeor has to offer.
THE HISTORY
Chymeor has hosted revolutionary thinkers and influential artists such as Wilhelmina (Willie) Barns-Graham and Paul Nicholsson, along with many other renowned artists of their time.
Its character and style reflect the fishermans cottages that the town is renowned for, along with the artistic influence of the renaissance of modern art and St Ives's art movement. The house with its light filled top story studio, which once held a multitude of art pieces from around the world, not only brings the convenience of modern living, but also a rich story and tapestry of the artists movement in St Ives.
