St Mawes

The exclusive Cornish coastal village of St Mawes was voted in 2020 by a Which? Customer Survey as the “Top Seaside Town in the UK”.

Much of its surroundings are owned by the National Trust. The village is centred round its quaint harbour, its own beaches and Castle. There is an all-year-round pedestrian ferry service to and from Falmouth and a seasonal ferry runs to Place, providing access to the scenic walks on the National Trust owned St Anthony Headland. There is a regular daily bus service to and from Truro which also stops at Portscatho, Tregony and Probus.

Description

Deceptively spacious from initial outside appearances, this light and airy, well presented, partially split-level bungalow has been in the loving ownership of the sellers for 21 years as their permanent home. The property was extended and modernised with internal alterations a few years ago and offers versatile 4 bedroom, 3 reception, and 3 bath / shower room accommodation. The property sits in relatively private good sized mature and well stocked gardens, windows and doors are double glazed and the property has the added benefit of low energy costs due to a lucrative photovoltaic and 16 solar panels feedback tariff.

The Views

In Cornish, 'Ar' means 'facing' or 'beside' and 'Dowr' means 'river' or 'water', thus, Ar Dowr is aptly named as “facing the river”. This south east facing property has beautiful panoramic water and countryside views capturing Summers Beach, Polvarth Point, the boat moorings in St Mawes outer harbour to the east and south east, then sweeping towards the south and south west direction across the National Trust owned lightly wooded countryside towards St Anthony Headland, the tip of St Anthony Lighthouse onto Falmouth Bay, The Lizard Peninsula and miles of open sea beyond. The bay and harbour are a hive of marine activity all year round.

Summary

This individual property is located on a well surfaced private road within walking distance of an array of local amenities, amidst wonderful coastal walks and excellent sailing and water sport facilities. Situated in a quiet location, with parking facilities, surrounding mature gardens and desirable views, Ar Dowr will suit the retiring couple or the family buyer as a very comfortable “ready to move into” permanent or holiday home. Equally, for those looking for a project, the property has potential, subject to any necessary planning consents. An early appointment to view internally is strongly advised.
