Introduction
Trevennen West is a tastefully presented modern semi-detached residence, located just 175 yards from the heart of St Mawes. Light-filled and predominantly south-facing, the house combines contemporary comfort with a subtle sense of coastal character. The reverse-level layout provides flexible accommodation, well suited to both couples and families, while the provision of off-street parking adds valuable convenience in this central village setting. Built in 2006 by a reputable local builder, the property has been carefully designed to take full advantage of its elevated position, with attractive sea views across St Anthony Headland and the wide expanse of Falmouth Bay forming a constant coastal backdrop.
Description
Set in a peaceful yet central position, Trevennen West enjoys easy access to the village’s shops, restaurants, cafés and pubs, as well as beaches, coastal walks, watersports facilities and the foot ferries operating from the quay and harbourside. This prime location makes the property equally appealing as a permanent residence or a coastal holiday retreat.
The accommodation is arranged over reverse levels, allowing the principal living spaces to fully capitalise on both light and views. The first floor features a generous open-plan living, dining and kitchen area, designed for relaxed everyday living and entertaining. Three sets of French doors open directly onto the spacious balcony, creating a seamless connection between indoors and out and providing an exceptional setting for outdoor dining or simply enjoying the outlook.

On the lower floor, there are three well-proportioned bedrooms alongside a family bathroom with a separate shower cubicle. The principal bedroom benefits from its own en-suite shower room, creating a calm and private retreat. Bedroom Two opens via French doors onto the rear patio garden, while the additional bedroom is currently used as a media room and occasional guest room. A useful utility and airing cupboard is accessed from the hallway.
