LOCATION

The Old Vicarage is in a tucked away position not far from Lelant Saltings estuary which is popular for walking and cycling due to its flat nature and scenic outlook. The estuary narrows and spills out into St Ives which is lined by beautiful, long sandy beaches. Porth Kidney Sands is the nearest beach to the property and can certainly be described as a local’s beach as it has no direct road access and needs knowledge of the footpath across the golf course to reach its idyllic, sand backed position. The waters in front of Porth Kidney Sands are ideal for kitesurfing, windsurfing and surfing and a footpath continues beyond the beach around to and St Ives. Behind Porth Kidney Sands beach is the West Cornwall Golf Course, a highly regarded Links course with wonderful sea views. 4 Ref: LCAA7251

In the village are two inns and within walking distance is Scarlet Wines shop and restaurant with excellent food served throughout the day and a good selection of specialist alcoholic beverages and delicatessen. Again, just a short walk away is a branch line train station which runs from the main line at to St Ives with a stop at Carbis Bay giving simple access to these fantastic destinations even in the height of summer when car parking would be at a premium. The link at St Erth is onto the to Paddington main railway line which allows for quick access to many of Cornwall’s main towns, as well as to . The A30 expressway runs around the outside of on the opposite side of Lelant Saltings estuary giving excellent road access throughout the county and to the motorway network at Exeter. Cornwall’s capital, , is less than 30 minutes’ drive away and offers the widest range of shops, professional services and commercial activity in the county.
