Local amenities include two pubs, The Bluff Inn and the Bucket of Blood, The Cove Café, only 200 metres away, and a well-stocked Mini Market.

The town of Hayle, just two miles away, lies at the start of the Penwith region of Cornwall at the narrowest point between the north and south coasts.

Description

Chy an Nulva was originally built in the 1980’s but has been extensively remodelled and refurbished over the last few years by the current owners creating an extremely modern, stylish comfortable and flexible family home. Located in the popular Riviere Towans area within the village of Phillack Chy an Nulva is only 250 metres from the Hayle Towans beach, the surf school and the Cove Café. The property has effectively four floors with the annexe being at a lower level than the ground floor and the main living room being off the half landing between the ground and first floors.

Ground Floor - The main entrance to the property is at the side of the house to the left of the front terrace. Double patio doors open in to the large kitchen with immediately to the right double part glazed doors to the dining room. The large kitchen has a travertine tiled floor, a mix of cream and black gloss wall and floor cupboards and drawers, a central island both having black granite polished work surfaces. There is an integrated 5-ring gas hob (Calor), a wall mounted mid-level double oven, a dishwasher and space for an American style fridge freezer. A further set of patio doors open on to the rear patio and garden. The dining room has herringbone oak flooring, a window to the side and double part glazed doors opening in to the sun room. At the rear of the kitchen is a door to the internal hallway which has stairs down to the annexe and up to the living room and first floor. The utility room and wet room are off the hall and lead through to the second reception room, with herringbone oak flooring, which is currently used as both a snug and office, and a gust bedroom. An archway opens in to the sun room which spans the width of the house. The sun room has a porcelain tiled floor and a large central floor to ceiling window with, on either side, two panel bi-fold doors which open on to the terrace. The living room off the half landing has a central gas pebble effect open fireplace with patio doors at each end of the room both opening on to balconies. The front balcony has fabulous views out across St Ives bay.

First Floor - At the top of the stairs is a landing off which all three bedroom are accessed. The landing and all the bedrooms have oak flooring. The two bedrooms at the rear of the property both have expansive views over the back garden and beyond, built in wardrobes, study areas and en suite wet rooms with WC, vanity units and rainfall showers.
Double frosted glazed doors open in to the master dressing room which in turn leads, again through double doors, in to the principal bedroom. The dressing room has a range of built in wardrobes two of which have built in drawers and another pull out shoe racks. The bedroom is a large bright room with quite magnificent views out across the bay with Carbis Bay and beach, St Ives town, harbour and headland clearly visible. The owner tells me that the sun sets over St Ives at times are really quite spectacular. The room has a large window along with two-panel bi-fold doors out on to a wide balcony which spans the width of the house. The large en suite bathroom has a copper bath in front of bi-fold doors, again out on to the balcony, a large central vanity unit with storage below, a roof mounted central rainfall shower, WC and bidet.

The Annexe - The annexe has its own access or can be accessed from the main house via a staircase from the central hall making it very flexible accommodation as either an extension to the main house or it has the potential for multi-generational living, as a guest suite or for a secondary income. The back door is located in the rear courtyard and opens in to a galley style kitchen which has gloss cream units, an integrated oven and induction hob and space and plumbing for a slimline dishwasher, washing machine and a free standing fridge freezer. At the end of the kitchen are three doors, left to the bedroom, right to the main house and ahead the main living room. The bedroom has a window to the rear and an en suite bathroom with a WC, vanity unit and a walk in rainfall shower. There main living area is a large dual aspect room with two sets of sliding doors opening on the front patio area.

The Garden & Exterior - (Front) The property has a low level Cornish hedge marking the boundary to the road with an entrance on to a block paved driveway with parking for four plus cars. Elevated borders on both sides of the driveway have a mix of planting leading to lawns. Central paved steps ascend to a wide sunny terrace which spans the width of the property with a pathway, on the left, leading round to the main entrance and the rear garden. There is an EV charging point on the left of the steps.

Rear Garden - The rear garden is laid to lawn and has rendered walls to three sides. Gated steps from the rear patio area descend to a small courtyard area and the entrance to both the annexe and the garage.

Garage - The double garage has electric roller doors, separate access and has both power and water along with a WC and sink.
