Sanderling Cottage
- Overview
- More Info
Sanderling is the quintessential Grade-II listed granite cottage in Downalong, perfectly located and full of history.
The former fisherman’s cottage is set over 3-storeys with the recent extensive refurbishments having transformed the interior, yet retaining the character and original features such as wooden floorboards and beams.
The property has two bedrooms, one with king-sized double bed, the other a twin with two singles, the largest of the two on the top floor with its own en-suite wc.
Downstairs is the well-equipped kitchen/diner, shower room and rear courtyard with an outdoor shower, perfect for rinsing off after a busy day on one of the nearby beaches. The courtyard is ideal for storing surf boards and other beach gear.
The cottage is kept warm and cosy with wall-heaters and heated towel rails, so is equally perfect for a short winter break as it is for a family summer beach holiday.

Location
Set within the quaint and picturesque conservation area of Downalong, the cottage is just minutes (or even less) walk away from St Ives harbour and a selection of stunning sandy beaches including Porthgwidden, Bamaluz and the popular surfing beach of Porthmeor.
The renowned Tate gallery is close by right at the top of Porthmeor beach.
A couple of minutes further on will bring you to the shops, restaurants and galleries, including the impressive and renowned Tate. Also just a short stroll away is the grassy headland of The Island with stunning views of St Ives Bay and the North Cornwall coast.
Sanderling Cottage is officially on Back Road East, but the back gate opens up on to the very quiet St Eia Street, so makes off-loading your car very easy and stress-free!
The closest parking is at nearby The Island or Barnoon car parks just a few minutes walk away from where you can purchase a weekly Rover ticket, a transferable parking ticket that enables you to park in any of St Ives’ main car parks.
