Oates Road, Marazion

Set in a location that truly redefines the meaning of ‘prime position,’ this exceptional detached four-bedroom residence boasts uninterrupted, frontline views over the pristine waters of Mounts Bay, over towards the iconic St Michael’s Mount, and is, quite incredibly, complemented by direct beach frontage and access. Homes of this distinction are a rare treasure, and the opportunity to acquire one, is rarer still.

Planning permission granted to extend the property into a truly exceptional dwelling which will create a stunning contemporary addition on the ground floor of the period cottage with a large balcony above. Sold with vacant possession, no onward chain.

The Property - To live by the sea is to awaken each day to nature’s masterpiece – where endless horizons meet shimmering waters, and each breaking wave whispers a timeless sense of serenity and escape. The salty breeze refreshes the spirit, the rhythmic tides calm the mind, and the boundless beauty nourishes the heart and soul. This is exactly how we feel, when we visit this wonderful home.

Once two charming cottages belonging to the St Aubyn Estate, this property has been seamlessly transformed into a single, large, distinguished family home. Step inside through the welcoming entrance porch, which in turn leads into a beautifully appointed kitchen-diner—a space that blends style and practicality, making it the true heart of the home. This elegant and well-designed area is perfect for everything from casual breakfasts to lively dinner parties. There’s also a practical utility room, offering additional storage and convenience, keeping everyday essentials neatly tucked away.

The cottage would be further enhanced if the proposed permitted development is completed. This would make a truly special property with the old and new complimenting each other.

The fabulous living room provides an inviting and versatile space, ideal for both entertaining guests and enjoying cosy family gatherings. Large windows flood the room with natural light, creating a warm and airy atmosphere that enhances the sense of space and comfort. The stand-out feature of this room is the wonderful wood-burning stove.

Upstairs, the accommodation continues to impress, with four charming bedrooms, each thoughtfully designed to offer a peaceful retreat at the end of the day. There are two stylish bathrooms on the first floor, so there should be no more queuing to get ready in the mornings here.

Planning Permission - PA21/01206 | Change of use from 2 dwellings in to 1 single dwelling, construction of single storey extension with roof terrace, insertion of conservation rooflights.

The Outside - Outside, the property truly comes into its own with a generous garden that extends towards the sea wall, offering breathtaking, unobstructed views of the shimmering ocean and the iconic St. Michael’s Mount. This is a space where every moment feels like a postcard-worthy scene—whether you’re starting your day with sunrise yoga, breathing in the crisp sea air and listening to the soothing rhythm of the waves, or simply unwinding with a book as the tides roll in.

For those with a creative spirit, the ever-changing coastal landscape provides endless inspiration—perhaps it’s time to take up painting, capturing the stunning seascapes from the comfort of your own garden. And when it comes to entertaining, this setting is second to none. Picture hosting lively summer barbecues or elegant al fresco dinners, with the dramatic backdrop of the sea and St. Michael’s Mount making every gathering effortlessly Instagram-worthy.

Adding to its rare appeal, the garden features a lower terrace at the water’s edge, offering direct beach access—an incredibly scarce and coveted feature in this area. Whether it’s spontaneous seaside strolls, morning dips in the ocean, or simply feeling the sand between your toes, this exclusive access elevates coastal living to a whole new level.

Practicality is also well-considered, with dedicated driveway parking areas to the front and rear of the property ensuring convenience for both residents and guests. This is more than just a home—it’s a lifestyle.
