A charming harbour-side cottage enjoying attractive views across St Mawes harbour and the surrounding countryside. Positioned just moments from the waterfront in the heart of this highly sought-after Roseland village, the property offers a wonderful coastal retreat ideally placed to enjoy village life by the sea.
The cottage occupies an enviable position close to the harbour and slipway, making it particularly appealing for those with an interest in sailing and watersports. The sailing waters of Falmouth Bay are widely regarded as some of the finest in the South West, while the nearby Helford River offers a beautiful and sheltered estuary to explore.
A small cobbled terrace to the front of the property enjoys views towards the harbour and provides an excellent setting for outdoor dining or simply watching the activity of boats moving through the bay.
Internally, the cottage retains much of its traditional character. The sitting room is warm and welcoming, with low-beamed ceilings, an ornamental Cornish range fireplace and window seats positioned to take full advantage of the harbour views.
To the rear, the kitchen and dining area is well arranged and well equipped, separated from the sitting room by a characterful brick dividing wall.
Upstairs, there are two attractive bedrooms, both benefiting from high ceilings which enhance the sense of space. The principal bedroom to the front enjoys lovely harbour views from dual windows, while the second bedroom to the rear offers a pleasant dual-aspect outlook and comfortable accommodation for guests.
The property has also been successfully operated as a holiday let, making it equally appealing as an investment, second home or private coastal retreat.
St Mawes has long been regarded as one of Cornwall’s most desirable coastal villages, offering a wonderful balance of natural beauty, tranquillity and accessibility. Positioned on the Roseland Peninsula and surrounded by unspoilt coastline, the village enjoys a unique setting overlooking the sheltered waters of the Carrick Roads.
Two sandy beaches lie within easy reach of the property, with Summers Beach located just beyond the harbour and particularly popular with families. The village offers an excellent selection of restaurants, cafés and pubs, including Hotel Tresanton and the highly regarded Idle Rocks Hotel overlooking the harbour.
Regular passenger ferries connect St Mawes with the vibrant harbour town of Falmouth across the estuary, while the wider Roseland Peninsula offers miles of spectacular coastal walks and countryside to explore.
