Introduction
This light and airy detached property occupies a highly sought-after position, just a stone's throw from the beach, harbour and village amenities. The panoramic outlook from the living room, both kitchens, the spacious balcony and three of the bedrooms is, in our opinion, among the finest in St Mawes. The views sweep across the village, harbour and quay, its boat moorings and sailing waters towards the partly wooded National Trust St Anthony Headland. On clear days, the outlook extends beyond Falmouth Bay towards the Manacles and Lizard Peninsula. The harbour provides a wonderful and constantly changing backdrop throughout the seasons, from working boats and visiting yachts to the numerous sailing races and regattas for which St Mawes and the Carrick Roads are renowned.
Currently loosely arranged as two spacious self-contained flats, Muskoka and Little Muskoka, the property offers considerable versatility. The existing internal connection means it can readily be enjoyed as one substantial four-bedroom home, while the present arrangement lends itself equally well to multigenerational living, visiting family and guests, or other uses, subject to any necessary consents. Although perfectly habitable in its present form, the property offers an exciting opportunity for a purchaser to update and personalise the accommodation to their own requirements, while taking full advantage of its exceptional position and views.
Description
Muskoka and Little Muskoka stand within a generous plot extending to approximately 0.12 acres, a particularly appealing feature for such a centrally located St Mawes property. Gardens wrap around the front, side and rear, while private parking for two vehicles provides another valuable benefit in this part of the village. The property is approached from Hillhead, where a pathway and steps rise through the garden to the house.
Little Muskoka occupies the ground floor and enjoys its own paved sun terrace together with lawned gardens to the front and side, creating an excellent outside space from which to enjoy the views. Internally, an entrance porch opens into a spacious hallway, presently used as a dining area. There is a separate kitchen enjoying delightful views, together with a particularly generous bed / sitting room and a further double bedroom with en suite shower room. A separate WC, rear hall and useful additional storage complete this level.
An internal staircase provides a direct connection with Muskoka above, making the transition from two separate living spaces to a single substantial home particularly straightforward.
Muskoka also benefits from its own independent access from the rear garden. An entrance hall leads into the accommodation, with the principal rooms positioned to make the most of the remarkable outlook. The large L-shaped living and dining room is a particular highlight, providing excellent entertaining and relaxation space and opening directly onto a very spacious balcony. From here there are breathtaking panoramic views across St Mawes Harbour and its sailing waters towards St Anthony Headland and the open sea beyond. The kitchen provides a good range of fitted wall and floor cabinetry and also enjoys attractive views. There are two further generously proportioned bedrooms, including a front-facing bedroom enjoying the superb harbour and coastal outlook, together with a bathroom and separate WC.
The landing is unusually spacious and provides additional flexibility, currently accommodating a sofa bed and offering potential as a reading area, study space or occasional sleeping area. Additional accommodation includes a useful lower ground floor store with a shower, particularly convenient after returning from the beach or a day on the water, together with a separate boiler room.
Outside, the combination of paved terraces and lawned gardens provides a variety of areas for sitting, dining and entertaining while enjoying the coastal surroundings. The gardens also offer potential to further enhance the property, subject to all necessary consents.
Summary
Muskoka and Little Muskoka represent a rare opportunity to acquire a substantial and highly versatile detached property in the heart of St Mawes, combining exceptional panoramic views, generous accommodation, surrounding gardens, showpiece balcony and private parking, all within moments of the harbour, beaches and village amenities.
