DESCRIPTION Blue Dolphins is found on Tregos Road from where it is just a short walk down Parc Owles to the South West Coast Path leading down to Carbis Bay beach in one direction and around two Porthminster beach and St Ives in the other. This is a quiet road with no particular reason to drive down it unless visiting one of the properties along it and Blue Dolphins is found close to the centre of the road on the more desirable seaward side from where it takes in fantastic panoramic views around the sandy beaches of St Ives Bay to Godrevy Lighthouse and then out across the Atlantic Ocean as well as up the north Cornish coastline. 3 Ref: LCAA7685 The house is believed to have been built in the early 1950’s and has been in the same ownership since 1981. The property would now benefit from updating throughout or could be considered a prime opportunity for redevelopment (subject to all necessary consents) as one of the immediate neighbours has already been redeveloped into a pair of semi-detached houses on a slightly smaller plot with this one extending to about 0.16 of an acre. The house is set over three storeys and is entered at mid level with an attractive approach through an arched entrance with wide windows with decorative shutters to either side and a central dormer over. The mid floor is the largest of the three and has a sizeable lounge, separate dining room and a smaller kitchen opening to a breakfast room. There is also a bedroom with en-suite shower room and the main bathroom on this floor. The first floor has three bedrooms and a further shower room with a large store off. Stairs descend from the dining room to a long side room that could be considered as a study and at the lower level which opens directly onto the rear garden is a sizeable games room, further store room and the externally approached garden room. To the front a drive leads to a detached single garage with large stooped height store room below and there are low maintenance beds and mature palms and trees to the front of the house. The rear garden is very significantly bigger being lawned and again surrounded by a wide variety of different species. To one side are growing beds with fruit bushes and there is also an apple tree amongst 4 Ref: LCAA7685 many other varieties around the edge of the garden. This is a very rare chance to treat a sizeable home in a very desirable location looking out across St Ives Bay, as a blank canvas. LOCATION Blue Dolphins is just above Carbis Bay beach and there are footpaths descending down to it from below the house as well as linking into Hain Walk and the South West Coast Path which leads around to Porthminster Beach and St Ives in the west and the little frequented Porth Kidney Sands beach to the east. Between these beaches and many others there are excellent surfing conditions as well as opportunities for kitesurfing, windsurfing, stand up paddle boarding and kayaking. There are two golf courses very nearby at Tregenna Castle Hotel and also at Lelant, both of which overlook the sea. Carbis Bay has excellent local facilities with more extensive shops, cafés, restaurants and galleries around the harbourside in St Ives. The Carbis Bay Hotel beside the beach and 5 Ref: LCAA7685 below the house has just undergone a huge refurbishment and now has a spa open to non- residents. Between Carbis Bay and St Ives there are doctors, dentists, a supermarket and schooling and beside the A30 at Hayle is a recently opened trading park with a Marks & Spencer, Boots and Next.
