Seascape – Sea View House, Cornwall

Introduction

Seascape is a beautiful house on a pedestrianised terrace  overlooking the harbour with panoramic views over St Ives bay.   We aim to meet the needs of all of our guests, however, due to the nature of the property this can make access for guests with limited mobility difficult and the house is unsuitable for wheelchair users.

Seascape is located just above the town and access to the shops, restaurants and beaches is a short walk down hill.

The kitchen/diner and living room are located on the ground floor.  There is one king size bedroom, one twin bedroom, and one double bedroom along with a bathroom and a shower room on the first floor.  There is a super king size bedroom on the second floor. There is a good size sub-tropical garden to the front and a courtyard area at the rear.  There is parking for one car.
