Although the spot is secluded, there's no need to fear being lonely, as the bright lights of St Ives are just 1½ miles away, so if you can draw yourself away from your private sunset terrace, there are several lovely pubs, bars and restaurants to enjoy.
There is also planning consent to build a new barn on the site, so there are lots of options to expand this Cornish haven — perhaps to provide additional accommodation or a business venture — or you may wish to keep it just as it is and enjoy the rolling fields and glorious ocean views without interruption.
