Description
Set in an enviable elevated position just a short stroll from the exclusive St Mawes waterfront and the picturesque Tavern Beach and within one of the quietest areas in this prestigious village, where shops, pubs, restaurants, water sport facilities, foot ferries and beautiful coastal walks are on the doorstep. Beautifully positioned to capture sweeping panoramic views across the sea and harbour and St Anthony National Trust Headland, this attractive residence has unrivalled versatility and subject to planning consents has the potential to offer a timeless blend of period grandeur and coastal charm. Boasting off-road parking, a rarity so close to the waterfront, and mature gardens with the prospect of building a detached garage (subject to consents), Tresulian promises both privacy and convenience in one of Cornwall’s most sought-after coastal villages. A perfect combination of heritage, space, and location, representing a unique opportunity to own a landmark home in one of Cornwall’s most desirable waterside villages, whether as a primary residence or holiday retreat in an area renowned for its natural beauty and sailing heritage.
The Views
The sweeping panoramic views stretch across the Percuil River, Summers Beach, and the unspoilt St Anthony Headland (owned by the National Trust), right across St Mawes Harbour and Falmouth Bay to the distant Lizard Peninsula. You can also enjoy striking views of both St Mawes and Pendennis Castles, with miles of open sea completing the breathtaking backdrop.
Throughout the year, this rare opportunity offers a front-row seat to a wonderful variety of sailing events and maritime activity, from visiting yachts and spirited dinghy races to working fishing boats and the charming foot ferries on their regular route to Falmouth. Further out into Falmouth Bay, watch commercial ships traverse the bay, either sheltering, bunkering for fuel, or continuing their coastal journeys.
