Trewirgie

Trewirgie is a peaceful coastal haven tucked just above Porthmeor Beach, offering expansive sea views, generous outdoor space, and the rare luxury of private parking for two cars – a true gem in the heart of St Ives. This stylish home, with its two tiered balconies and bright, comfortable interiors, is perfectly positioned for families or couples looking to enjoy the very best of the Cornish coast without compromising on space or tranquillity.

Set just a short stroll from the sand and surf of Porthmeor, Trewirgie is arranged two levels and accessed via a short flight of steps leading down to the entrance. Inside, the space is light-filled and welcoming, with a practical layout that balances sociable open-plan areas with peaceful private bedrooms. The kitchen is well-equipped with everything you need for relaxed holiday cooking, from picnics for the beach to seafood suppers at home, and leads through to the spacious lounge, where large windows frame the stunning coastal views and comfortable seating invites you to settle in and unwind.

The separate dining room, with its generous table and French doors opening onto the first of two decked balconies, is a lovely spot to gather over meals or board games. Outside, the dual-level terraces offer uninterrupted views of the sea and the rugged St Ives headland, perfect for a morning coffee, alfresco lunches, or watching the sun dip into the Atlantic with a drink in hand.

The calm and elegant master bedroom is one the first floor, with a king-size bed and an en-suite bathroom featuring both a bath and a separate shower. The second bedroom is located on the ground floor and offers two 2’6″ single beds which can be zipped together to form a second king-size if preferred, making the space flexible for families or friends.

A family bathroom with a shower over the bath completes the accommodation, while a washing machine adds extra convenience for longer stays.
With the beach just moments away and the South West Coast Path on your doorstep, Trewirgie is an ideal base for days spent swimming, surfing, or hiking along this dramatic stretch of coastline. Yet despite its central location, the apartment enjoys a tucked-away feel, making it a peaceful retreat after a day exploring the vibrant town.

Whether you’re here for sea air, sunsets, or simply to relax in comfort with everything St Ives has to offer within easy reach, Trewirgie promises a coastal escape that’s as practical as it is picturesque.
