Hus, the logical choice for an estate agent in St Ives |
||||||||||
It's not surprising that artists, past and present have made their home in St Ives. Perhaps it’s the famous quality of the light in West Cornwall that draws them, however there are many more reasons why St Ives is a desirable place to live. The town itself is a maze of cobbled streets full of charming fisherman’s cottages and pretty shops which lead down to the four beautiful sandy beaches. Porthgwidden and Harbour Beach are sheltered, Porthminster is perfect for families and Porthmeor is a popular surfing destination. The compact nature of the town means that art lovers are never far from amazing galleries, artist’s studios and museums, along with the recently extended Tate St Ives above Porthmeor beach. More than a picture postcard town, it has a strong arts and music scene. The growing popularity of the book festival in May and the Music festival in September are a testament to the spirit and the strength of the community who call St Ives their home.
