Internally
Set in an elevated position with pleasant harbour glimpses stretching over St Mawes and towards Place Manor, this detached three-bedroom bungalow occupies an impressive plot of approximately a third of an acre. Its prime location is just a short stroll from the heart of the village and the picturesque harbourside, where a wealth of amenities awaits. The property also provides immediate access to idyllic countryside trails leading to the Percuil River, Carrick Roads, St Just in Roseland, and beyond.
Recently renovated by the current owners, the property boasts a spacious and thoughtfully designed central living area that seamlessly combines modern functionality with comfort. This open-plan space features clearly defined zones, including a stylish contemporary kitchen, a dining area, and a lounge. The dining area is enhanced by a striking floor-to-ceiling window and high ceilings which further amplify the sense of space and light, while double doors in the lounge lead directly to the garden, creating a seamless indoor-outdoor connection. The lounge also features a charming wood-burning stove, adding warmth and character. The kitchen is fully equipped with modern appliances, as well as an oil-fired Aga, making it both practical and elegant.
The accommodation is perfectly arranged to maximise privacy and convenience, with the primary bedroom located at one end of the property. This room benefits from an en-suite bathroom, while the two additional double bedrooms are situated at the opposite side of the bungalow, alongside a family wet room.
Gardens and Grounds
The property’s grounds are a particular highlight, offering generous outdoor spaces that wrap around the house. The newly installed sweeping driveway, accessed via Upper Castle Road and secured by five-bar gates, provides ample parking for multiple vehicles, with space for boat storage if desired. Planning permission has been granted for the construction of a double garage with an integrated home office or ancillary accommodation, offering the potential for additional functionality such as a gym, studio, craft room, or even guest quarters, while still leaving ample room for parking. The construction for this has started with the foundation already laid ensuring that, pending council approval, this planning will remain valid indefinitely.
The gardens themselves are beautifully maintained and include a lawned rear garden interspersed with mature trees, as well as additional garden areas to the side of the property. Glimpses of the harbour can be enjoyed from multiple vantage points, while the entire space is enclosed by fencing, ensuring privacy and seclusion.
Planning Permissions
The property benefits from two planning permissions. One, which has lapsed, proposed the creation of a reverse-level four- or five-bedroom home by adding a first floor and reconfiguring the layout to create an even more impressive residence with stunning views over St Mawes harbour and over towards Summers Beach. The second, which has been implemented (subject to local authority confirmation), includes plans for the construction of a double garage with a home office or ancillary accommodation complete with a cloakroom/WC.
Summary
This immaculate property presents a rare opportunity to own a versatile and beautifully maintained home in a highly sought-after location. The layout, with its central living space and the master bedroom thoughtfully positioned away from the additional bedrooms, makes it ideal for comfortable holidaying or as a permanent residence. Its proximity to local amenities, combined with the privacy afforded by its setting, ensures the perfect balance between convenience and tranquillity.
For those with an eye to the future, the lapsed planning permission offers the chance to transform the property into a stunning two-storey residence, subject to renewal. Whether as a stylish family home or an idyllic coastal retreat, this property is truly one of a kind.
