Freehold
A three storey, 4 bedroom, 3 reception south-facing Victorian residence situated on the exclusive waterfront, with a garden, two ancillary detached buildings and its own access down to the strip of foreshore which also belongs to the property. This extremely rare opportunity was purchased in 1938 by the late father of the current family and is being offered for sale for the first time in 71 years.Views from the property, front patio, ancillary accommodation and garden are quite stunning and protected. Regarded as amongst the finest in the village, these encompass the fishing boats and other moorings in the Percuil River, Summers Beach, St Mawes village and outer harbour, Amsterdam and Carricknath points on the beautiful National Trust St Anthony Headland, St Anthony lighthouse, Falmouth Bay, beyond to the Lizard Peninsula and over 20 miles across the English Channel (on clearer days). The bay and harbour are a hive of marine activity most of the year with sailing races during the season, culminating in Falmouth week each year in August.As the property was built before most of the present village, the choicest sites were available. This most charming and spacious property is located in a particularly sheltered area, renowned for it own benign micro-climate. Very near the property (approx 75 yards) is access to Tavern Beach and Olga Polizzi's Hotel Tresanton. The village centre and amenities are an almost level walk along the waterfront. St Mawes Castle and National Trust Coastal walks are on the doorstep.The property requires modernisation and offers a 'blank canvas' for those who appreciate character. The house has a quite charming atmosphere, being well loved by the family through the generations. It has many character features from original doors, terrazzo floor and picture rails to a 1959 Elizabeth Ann kitchen.
