Guy Morse, agent at Lillicrap Chilcott said: ‘Ship Aground is found in arguably one of the most dramatic locations around the whole of St Ives, looking straight down onto the sandy beach.

‘The view from the bedroom is pretty special. You can lie in bed and take in the harbour yet nobody can see in so you have that privacy.

‘The property is sold in ‘as new’ condition inside having just undergone a sympathetic and thorough refurbishment to a very high standard.

‘St Ives is incredibly picturesque with buildings nudging the shoreline, little cobbled streets meandering around the centre, startling blue sea and perfect golden sand.

‘It enjoys a mild climate where winter frosts are rare, the air is exceptionally clean coming straight in off the Atlantic Ocean and the clarity of light is considered to be amongst the best in Britain.’
