Introduction
Situated just off one of St Mawes’ most exclusive roads, this detached chalet bungalow occupies an enviable south-facing position, capturing far-reaching views across St Mawes Harbour, Summers Beach to the Percuil River, St Anthony Headland and out to the English Channel. Having been in the same family ownership for around 36 years, the property now presents a rare opportunity to secure a substantial home in a prime Roseland Peninsula setting. Notably, the property sits within a highly regarded enclave of superior higher priced homes, reinforcing both the quality of the immediate surroundings and the long-term investment appeal.
A further advantage is the existence of protective covenants which help safeguard the outlook from the property, ensuring the exceptional views remain a defining feature for years to come. Located around 600 yards walk to the harbour and village amenities, this is an increasingly rare opportunity combining position, outlook and future potential.
Description
Extending to over 2,200 sq ft, the accommodation is arranged over two floors and offers a flexible layout ideally suited to both permanent living and holiday home use. The property currently provides four bedrooms, two bath or shower rooms and two generous reception rooms, with a natural flow between living spaces and strong connection to the surrounding gardens. Whilst perfectly liveable, the property would now benefit from modernisation, offering clear scope for a new owner to refurbish, extend or potentially redevelop the site, subject to any necessary planning consents. The combination of its elevated position, surrounding value tone and protected outlook creates a compelling opportunity to significantly enhance both the property and its overall worth.
The Gardens (Plot size around 0.56 of an acre)
The property is approached via a pillared entrance leading to a paved driveway and parking forecourt, providing access to the house, utility area and detached garage. The gardens are a particularly attractive feature, being relatively level and extending around the property, which is uncommon within St Mawes.
Predominantly laid to lawn, the gardens are interspersed with mature shrubs, established trees and well-stocked flower beds, creating a private and sheltered setting. Bordered by hedging, the grounds enjoy a high degree of seclusion while benefiting from the property’s favourable south-facing aspect. Additional features include outside tap, coal bunker, log store and gated side access on both sides of the property, allowing easy circulation around the grounds.
