Rare opportunity to acquire or lease one of the larger retail units in central St Ives, positioned in a highly sought-after trading location directly opposite a major national retailer. Offering excellent visibility and substantial floor space, this property is ideal for established retailers or businesses seeking a flagship presence in a thriving coastal destination.
The unit comprises a traditional retail layout with a generous open-plan sales area, benefiting from strong window frontage and a regular-shaped floorplate that is rarely available within the town. To the rear, the property includes additional storage, a staff room, and toilet facilities, ensuring practical day-to-day operations. Further basement storage is also available, providing valuable extra space for stock or equipment.
Situated on what was historically the town’s main banking street, now an extension of the prime Fore Street retail area, the property enjoys consistent footfall from both locals and tourists. Its proximity to the harbour front, main car parks, and surrounding mix of shops, galleries, cafes, and restaurants makes it a prime commercial location with year-round trading potential.
The premises fall under Use Class E, allowing for a wide range of uses including retail, offices, and café concepts. Available either on a new lease with flexible terms or as a long leasehold purchase with over 970 years remaining, this is a standout opportunity in one of Cornwall’s most desirable retail markets.
