The property is entered via a modern, light-filled entrance hall, providing access to all the ground floor accommodation and a modern staircase to the first floor. The heart of the home is a generous open-plan kitchen/living/dining room, where extensive glazing frames the landscaped gardens and captures the views beyond. Both bi-fold and sliding doors open seamlessly to the terrace, creating an effortless flow between indoor and outdoor living. A striking dual-aspect linear log burner, set within a slate feature wall, provides a warm and elegant focal point for the cooler months, while subtly zoning the space into relaxed seating and a more formal dining area.

A comprehensive suite of integrated appliances by De Dietrich and AEG, includes a wine fridge, double oven, dishwasher and induction hob. A separate snug, utility room and bathroom complete the ground floor, adding everyday practicality.

On the first floor, there are four double bedrooms, three of which benefit from stylish en suite facilities. Full-length glazing and private balconies enhance the two principal bedrooms, which offer elevated views across the Bay.

This property presents an attractive façade, finished in slate cladding, thoughtfully echoing the local Cornish vernacular. Beyond an electric key coded gate with intercom, a block-paved driveway offers ample parking, flanked by attractive hedging and shrubs that provide year-round structure and interest. A garage with contemporary shutter-style doors provides storage.

To the rear, the landscaped garden truly capitalises on its enviable setting, and is bordered by mature hedging, creating a wonderful sense of privacy and seclusion. A generous paved terrace leads onto a neatly maintained lawn with the convenience of low maintenance astro turf, offering practicality and year-round appeal. This idyllic outdoor space includes a plunge pool and a separate hot tub, covered by a gazebo, perfectly positioned for enjoying the spectacular coastal outlook. The terrace provides an elegant setting for al fresco dining and entertaining, or a tranquil retreat for a morning coffee overlooking the sea.

Set in an elevated position above the charming coastal village of Mevagissey, the property enjoys convenient access to a range of local amenities, including a primary school, St Peter’s parish church, a medical centre, post office and a variety of independent cafés, restaurants, traditional pubs and village shops. The village is well known for its characterful narrow streets, lined with boutique retailers, creating a lively and attractive setting. Its picturesque inner and outer harbours form the heart of the community, where moorings can be arranged via application to the Harbour Master, and where boat trips and fishing excursions are readily available. During the summer months, a passenger ferry service also operates between Mevagissey and Fowey. For leisure and recreation, the area is well served by a modern sports and activity centre, while the Southwest Coast Path provides exceptional walking routes. The coastline offers access to a number of attractive beaches, including Polstreath Beach to the north-east, and further along the coast, Pentewan with its expansive sandy shoreline and sailing club. St Austell Bay is home to many more beaches, while the historic harbour town of Fowey (approximately 12 miles away) is renowned for its sailing. To the west, the coastline continues through scenic locations such as Gorran Haven, extending towards the Roseland Peninsula, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty celebrated for its sheltered coves, rolling countryside, and coastal walks. Golfing is available locally at Porthpean and St Austell, as well as at Carlyon Bay – a highly regarded coastal course. From the village, a scenic footpath and cycle route leads to the renowned Lost Gardens of Heligan, situated just 1.9 miles away. The world-famous Eden Project – one of Cornwall’s most visited attractions – lies around eight miles away. Nearby St Austell provides a broader selection of shopping, leisure, and professional services. It also benefits from a mainline railway station offering direct services to London Paddington via Plymouth and Exeter. Road connections are equally convenient, with the A30 providing access to Exeter and the wider motorway network via the M5. Ferry services from Plymouth offer international travel links to France and Spain. The cathedral city of Truro offers an extensive range of high street and independent shopping along with both private and state schooling. Cornwall also has a wonderfully vibrant food scene, with a number of acclaimed restaurants.
