Tregenna Steps Studio, Tregenna Terrace, Cornwall, TR26 2DL

Tregenna Steps studio is unique detached coastal residence, a real 'work of art' reflecting the philosophy St.Ives occupying an elevated position from where spectacular views are enjoyed over the town, harbour and bay.

Originally a humble studio space owned by the South African composer Priaulx Rainer who was part of the 50's artist scene in St.Ives and redesigned and constructed 1992-1995 by Matthew Robinson, a real labour of love utilising locally sourced natural materials.

Inside the accommodation is almost entirely open plan, just two sliding doors separate the vestibule and shower room from the living areas.

The Tower staircase is a central feature with glassed oculus that floods the staircase with light.

The open plan design is in 4 distinct areas, sitting room with vaulted ceiling and exposed roof trusses, plus roof widows, and arched windows with 2 pairs of French doors, enjoying stunning views, and a wood burning stove, a kitchen, a dining room and mezzanine bedroom with wood panelled balcony that gives a theatrical view of the sitting room, window offering magnificent sea and harbour views.

The property is entered off Tregenna steps via a quite unassuming timber gate that leads you into this creative masterpiece !

The partly walled landscaped gardens incorporate 'The Fish' by mosaic artist Mark Davidson.

This truly delightful 'one of a kind' property can only be appreciated by an internal inspection which will amaze and delight and a viewing at your earliest opportunity is advisable.
