Situation - Merrifield Mews is well situated on the very edge of Charlestown - the picturesque coastal village renowned for its Georgian harbour built by local owner, Charles Rashleigh, and the number of tall ships that moor there. Charlestown is well regarded for its variety of public houses, restaurants and galleries. There are primary and secondary schools nearby.

The nearby town of St Austell has a direct main line rail link with London Paddington whilst the Cathedral City of Truro forming the main commercial heart of the county, is about 15 miles to the south west. Newquay Airport on the north coast offers a number of daily flights to both national and international destinations.

Recreational facilities of the area include walking to scenery of the south west coastal footpath; rugby football and cricket clubs in St Austell; Golf Clubs at Carlyon Bay, St Austell and Porthpean; sailing clubs at Porthpean, Fowey and Pentewan; numerous choirs in the area and many other clubs and pursuits.
