Accommodation
At the front of the house:
A hose to wash down surfboards, and a porch to store wellies and beach
shoes with stable doors opening on to the quiet road outside.
To the rear:
A small courtyard that catches the sun, to sit or to hang wetsuits and
dry washing.
Ground floor:
A well-equipped kitchen and cosy breakfast room that comfortably seats
eight under old timber beams. The kitchen cupboards are made from the
original doors of the cottage. The breakfast room offers a comfy armchair
and a nook for reading under the skylight.
Kitchen equipment:
Gas hob/cooker
Microwave/additional conventional oven
Dishwasher
Washing machine
Magimix, blender
Toaster, kettle, food processor, electric whisk
Plenty of saucepans, roasting trays and baking equipment
High chair
Portable radio/cassette/CD player
Cookery books - Rick Stein, Mary Berry, Jamie Oliver etc
Living room:
Views to Godrevy Lighthouse and across St Ives Bay to make the most jaded
heart sing. You might see dolphins and seals in the water below, along
with cormorants and other seabirds diving for fish!
The airy living room has two sofas, two armchairs, a window
seat, some occasional chairs and space for children to play. There are
books, DVDs and a Plasma screen TV/DVD player with an iPod dock, plus
broadband WiFi.
The double sofa bed has a proper sprung mattress. This
end of the room can be curtained off to give anyone sleeping here some
privacy.
Also on the first floor, a family bathroom with bath, over
bath shower, loo, shaver sockets, mirrored cabinets.
Central heating and hot water run from a combi boiler,
meaning you'll never run out of hot water.
Second floor:
Master bedroom and ensuite, a smaller double and a single room.
All have pretty mirrors, under bed storage plus hanging
space and chests of drawers.
NB Stairs at Leo's are typical of those found in
other cottages - fairly steep and narrow. Both staircases have handrails
and good lighting.
Location
A quiet No Through Road is all that separates the house
from the sea wall and the beach in front - the only one in St Ives that
welcomes dogs any time of day, all year round.
A few seconds to the right is the harbour beach. Five minutes
to the left is Porthgwidden beach and cafe. Long stay parking in the Island
or Smeaton's Pier car parks is minutes/seconds away. The Tate gallery
and other beaches are five minutes from the door.
