4 bed country house for sale

Polkirt Hill, Mevagissey, St. Austell, Cornwall PL26

Positioned in an elevated setting above the picturesque harbour of Mevagissey, Wild Air is a remarkable 1930s detached home that captures the essence of timeless coastal living. With far-reaching sea views that stretch across the harbour to the horizon, this characterful and spacious property offers beautifully arranged accommodation over three floors as well as a self-contained annexe, ideal for guests, holiday letting or extended family.

Thoughtfully updated while retaining its period charm, the house is rich with original features including stained glass, pine doors, picture rails and a graceful turning staircase. Deep bay windows invite natural light and frame the breathtaking views, most notably from the main sitting room and sunroom, where the sea feels almost within reach. The well-appointed kitchen connects seamlessly with a dedicated dining room, creating a sociable heart to the home while a large utility space and ground floor cloakroom enhance the practicality for everyday life.

Upstairs, the first floor provides two comfortable bedrooms and a family bathroom along with access to a private terrace overlooking the coast, the perfect spot for morning coffee or evening sunsets. The upper floor features a generous master room complete with en suite facilities and a striking feature porthole window that looks out across the coastline — arguably the most spectacular vantage point in the house and offering total privacy.

Set within the property but feeling completley seperate from the main residence, the stylish annexe spans two floors and enjoys its own private entrance. The ground floor features an open plan kitchen and living space while upstairs offers a beautifully finished double bedroom with en suite and glorious sea views. Currently operating as a successful holiday let, the annexe provides not only flexibility and independence but also a valuable source of income.

Oustide The Propety

Outside, Wild Air offers a range of inviting garden areas. The front garden has been designed to fully embrace the scenery with a raised sun terrace above the garage providing a tranquil space for alfresco dining or simply soaking in the atmosphere of the harbour below. To the rear, a private garden offers lawned areas, mature planting, a wildlife pond and useful outbuildings including a greenhouse and garden shed with power.

Practicality is well considered with a detached garage and rare off-road parking for multiple vehicles, a valuable asset in this sought-after coastal village.

Location

Wild Air sits within easy walking distance of Mevagissey’s harbour, local shops, pubs and restaurants yet remains tucked away in a peaceful position above the village. Mevagissey itself is one of Cornwall’s most beloved fishing villages offering a vibrant community, scenic coastal walks and a rich maritime history. Local highlights include the Lost Gardens of Heligan and the Eden Project while Truro and St Austell provide further amenities and transport connections a short drive away.

With its enviable position, characterful interiors and flexible living options, Wild Air presents a rare opportunity to own a truly special home in one of Cornwall’s most iconic locations.
