Freehold
This imposing family or retirement, detached residence, has been in the hands of the same family since 1935, being handed down over 3 generations. Built during the Arts and Crafts period in 1926, this striking property has generously proportioned and character accommodation, this desirable home is built in red brick with a slate tiled roof.Tredenham Road, in our opinion, has the finest aspect in St Mawes, offering an optimum south-west orientation and superlative uninterrupted panoramic and simply tranquil views. Mere photography cannot substitute the actual views. These span from the Percuil River, with its boat and yacht moorings, across to Place Manor and the beautiful part wooded National Trust owned St Anthony headland, Summers Beach on to St Mawes harbour and the village itself, then out on to the Carrick Roads, Falmouth Bay, the Lizard Peninsula. The sunsets over both St Mawes and Pendennis Castles are spectacular. The property has a grandstand view of a great variety of sailing and other marine activity all year round.Downholm is often mentioned to us that: "should it become available on the market then please let us know"! It is located approximately 200 yards level walk from the village centre with its wide range of amenities. Downholm has superb private gardens and a detached garage, a rare and valuable asset in its own right, especially for waterfront residences. Secondly, the property has an uninterrupted aspect of the harbour itself, offering an active view, winter or summer, rain or shine.There are good-sized formal and mature gardens which offer an array of colour as well as a tranquil and peaceful private haven away from the hustle and bustle of the village. A useful supplement to the living accommodation, and located in the gardens to the rear of the property, is ‘The Studio / Office’. The gardens have charming panoramic views and have been landscaped to provide maximum coverage as well as keeping maintenance to a minimum. For those with children / grandchildren, the steps down to Summers Beach are directly opposite.Internally, the light and airy living accommodation has been well maintained and is presented in neutral colours with the majority of the internal doors being original. The property is warmed by an oil fired central heating. Each room has its own particular characteristic and the family sized accommodation flows well.
