Introduction
Set in a commanding position, this beautifully appointed property has the most outstanding and delightful uninterrupted views that must be seen for full appreciation. The vista from the open plan living room / dining room / kitchen, the balcony and two of its spacious bedrooms are, in our opinion, among the finest in St Mawes. These encompass the harbour and quay, Summers Beach through to Falmouth Bay, sweeping in the Percuil River at Place, the boat moorings and the partly wooded National Trust St Anthony Headland. On clearer days it is possible to see the English Channel, the Manacles on the Lizard Peninsula including the Helford Estuary. The bay and harbour are a hive of marine activity most of the year, with sailing races throughout the season, many of which start and finish in the harbour opposite the property.
Description
This desirable apartment faces a few degrees off due south and is internally designed to optimize the splendid views. Noteworthy features include the 24' balcony, modern fitted kitchen with appliances, arranged open plan to the living room and L-shaped to the dining room. There is a modern second floor bathroom and two separate wcs on each floor. Pencreek has potential for extra accommodation in the large loft, subject to any necessary planning consents. Suited towards the permanent or holiday home buyer, based on its light and airy family accommodation, enviable views and location on top of village amenities, the property represents a very rare opportunity that requires an internal inspection to fully appreciate.
