Introduction
This attractive detached property, located just a "stone’s throw" from the beach and village amenities, is perched in an elevated position that offers the most stunning and panoramic views, which must be seen to be fully appreciated. The vistas from the living room, both kitchens, the balcony, and three of its spacious bedrooms are, in our opinion, among the finest in St Mawes. These views encompass the harbour and quay, boat moorings, and the partly wooded National Trust St Anthony Headland. On clear days, you can even see the English Channel and the Manacles on the Lizard Peninsula. The bay and harbour are vibrant with marine activity throughout the year, including sailing races that often start and finish in the harbour, all of which can be enjoyed from the property. Currently, the property is arranged as two spacious self-contained apartments, but it can easily be used as a large, airy four-bedroom home, offering flexibility to suit your needs. While the property is perfectly usable as it is, it would benefit from some updating to enhance its charm and functionality. This offers a fantastic opportunity to modernise the space while preserving its unique character and breath-taking views.
