5 bedroom detached house for sale

Tenure: Freehold

We believe Nilgiris is named after the tea plants that thrive in the front gardens, and originate from the Nilgiri Mountains in Southern India. Originally a bungalow requiring modernisation that our clients bought from ourselves a few years ago, the property has been dramatically transformed into an appealing spacious light airy two storey family residence. A particular feature is the open plan living and dining room, nearly 31' in length with two trifold doors opening out onto a decked terrace, all of which have stunning views. The dining area opens out onto a bespoke and stylish luxury kitchen with granite worktop surfaces and top of the range Miele appliances. The property oozes quality and character, suiting all age ranges. Its accommodation flows well yet is highly versatile, ideal as either a permanent or second home. Located away from the hustle and bustle of the village centre, on a quiet no through road, the yacht moorings, village amenities and beaches are all within easy reach.

The views from the property are striking. The panorama spans from the yacht and boat moorings of the Percuil River, Place Manor, St Anthony National Trust Headland, St Mawes harbour and Falmouth Bay with the Lizard Peninsula and the English Channel in the distance. The views are ever changing and offer a hive of marine activity all year round.

Our clients holiday let the property, which provides them with a useful income. Last year the property let for 30 weeks and gets £2,523 per week peak season. The rear gardens have been re-landscaped and levelled, ideal for children/grandchildren, and the property is warmed by an oil-fired central heating system. Ample parking and a garage exists for boat / tender storage. Viewing internally is strongly recommended.

Location – St Mawes

St Mawes is located at the tip of the Roseland Peninsula, an area of outstanding natural beauty, with much National Trust property nearby. It provides a good range of small shops, banks and restaurants/hotels including the extremely popular Hotel Tresanton. The St Mawes area is renowned for its extremely mild climate and amongst sailing enthusiasts for the excellent waters of the Percuil River, Carrick Roads (Fal estuary) and Falmouth Bay. In a wider context, Cornwall is enjoying a renaissance and offers a range of accessible attractions including the Eden Project, the National Maritime Museum in Falmouth, the Lost Gardens of Heligan, the Tate Gallery in St Ives and Stein's Seafood restaurant in Padstow. The Cathedral City of Truro is 10 miles away (via King Harry car ferry) and Falmouth is 15 miles by road, there is also a passenger ferry service to Falmouth. Both of these are major centres providing a wide selection of shopping, commercial and schooling facilities. London (Gatwick) is about 70 minutes by air from Newquay, by rail about 4.5 hours from Truro or about 4 hours from St Austell.
