Norway House Studio is a fascinating accommodation located in the picturesque town of St Ives, Cornwall, within the South West region of England. This two-bedroom property, which comfortably sleeps five guests, is situated just a short stroll from the Harbour and the stunning Porthmeor and Porthgwidden beaches. With a rich history spanning over 200 years, the building was initially constructed as a sail loft and later transformed into an artist's studio, capturing the unique natural light that has long attracted creatives to the area. The studio has been thoughtfully modernized while preserving its original character, featuring stylish decor with deep whitewashed granite walls and exposed timber beams.
The ground floor of Norway House Studio includes two well-appointed bedrooms. The first bedroom boasts a king-size bed complemented by a flat-screen 21" TV, dressing table, comfortable chair, and ample storage space. The second bedroom is designed with bunk beds and an additional 2 ft 6" single bed, along with built-in storage for convenience. The bathroom is equipped with a bath and shower combination, a wash basin with under-storage, a heated towel rail, and a WC. The entire accommodation is carpeted, except for the kitchen and bathroom, providing a cozy atmosphere throughout.
On the first floor, guests will find a spacious and light-filled sitting and dining room, enhanced by windows on three sides and skylights that invite natural light. The room features two settees, two armchairs, a desk, and a coffee table, along with a long window seat and a large oak dining table that seats up to eight people. Entertainment options include a flat-screen 40" TV and a sound system with an iPod dock. The well-designed kitchen, which opens from the sitting area, is equipped with modern appliances, including an electric cooker, microwave, fridge, dishwasher, and washing machine, all set against whitewashed weather-boarded walls.
Norway House Studio is pet-friendly, allowing small well-trained dogs by arrangement, making it an ideal retreat for pet owners. The property is conveniently located near various local attractions, including St Ives Museum and Paradise Park and JungleBarn, as well as shopping opportunities at Wharfside Shopping Centre and Trevaskis Farm. Nature enthusiasts can explore the National Dahlia Collection and Trengwainton Garden, while outdoor activities such as game walks and birdwatching are also available in the area, ensuring a fulfilling stay for all visitors.
