" WellingtonWise are delighted to offer for sale 'Dovecote', a detached period home constructed in 1893. Rarely do such homes come available in St Ives and this property is truly exceptional, having just been fully renovated to create a contemporary home that still retains character. Originally a coach house and in later years a school house, Dovecote is now offered for sale as a beautiful family home.

Ideally located in a non estate location and close to the town centre you are just a few minutes' walk away from the high street and independent stores, an excellent market operating twice a week and a regular farmer's market, bars and restaurants as well as all the amenities an individual or family needs, including well rated primary and secondary schools.

On entering the property, you immediately see the quality of finishing and attention to detail that has been completed when renovating this home. On the ground floor you have flexible and spacious rooms which include a sitting room, snug/family room, breakfast room, dining room and study. The property is light throughout with some dual aspect rooms, feature vaulted ceilings with roof lights in the dining room and the use of glass doors which keep the property light and allow either a degree of separation or open plan living. In the sitting room you have an open fireplace and in the snug there is a fireplace with wood burning stove, both making for cosy winter nights and add to the character all year around. All tiled flooring in the property has under floor heating, including the kitchen, breakfast room and all bathrooms. Also on the ground floor are a cloakroom, access to a store/garage and two staircases that lead to the first floor accommodation.

Completing the ground floor is the stunning kitchen breakfast room that offers views to the front and a door opening to the rear garden. Fitted with bespoke handmade oak units and with solid wood work surfaces with complementing splash backs and offering all the appliances a modern house requires including a range oven with gas hob, fridge/freezer, dishwasher and washing machine. The room is completed with high shine tiled flooring, inset ceiling spotlights, inside and under cupboard lighting. This is the heart of the home.

Going to the first floor there are four generous double bedrooms accessed from the two ground floor staircases. All are very comfortable doubles and all feel even more spacious by the high ceilings that are a feature across the entire first floor. The master bedroom has a three-piece suite with shower, low level w.c. and wash hand basin. The family bathroom is another exceptional room that has been completed with a period yet contemporary feel and has a four-piece suite which includes a shower cubicle and freestanding roll top bath.

The outside of the home gives the property its name with the 'Dovecote' being part of the rear garden. The garden is fully enclosed and partly laid to lawn with patio area. With a high degree of privacy being surrounded by mature trees this is just what you would expect for such a home near the town centre. The frontage is generous and provides a gravelled driveway for multiple vehicles and leads to twin garage doors which is now used as a generous store room.

This home is available with the advantage of no upward chain and is available to view by appointment with sole agents WellingtonWise. Please call us today on 01480 498400 to arrange your viewing time.
