Description
We are delighted to present this individual three-bedroom modern reverse level house, occupying the site of the former village Police Station, in a prime position within the highly sought-after coastal village of St Mawes.
The location of Mawrings is a particular strength. Positioned just 175 yards from the village centre, beaches and sailing facilities, the property offers immediate access to everything that makes St Mawes one of Cornwall’s most desirable coastal destinations.
The accommodation is arranged over two floors and is both well balanced and versatile, comprising three bedrooms and two bath / shower rooms as well as an En-Suite W/C to the Bedroom Three / Study. The main living space is well proportioned and designed to take full advantage of the views, with direct access to a wide balcony providing an ideal setting for outdoor dining and relaxation. For winter evenings, one can cosy up by a wood burner style gas fire. Further benefits include a well fitted modern kitchen with appliances and boiler room with drying facilities, double glazing and central heating which can be remotely controlled via the web, ensuring comfort throughout the year.
Externally, the property is complemented by a manageable garden, together with a garage, private driveway and boat store with sink and hot and cold water. Such parking and storage provision is rare for a property so close to the centre of the village. For those looking for multi-generational living, the garage and adjoining boat store offer scope, subject to any necessary consents, to create annexe-style accommodation.
The property would suit a range of buyers, whether as a main residence or holiday home. It also offers strong holiday letting potential, supported by consistent demand for well-located coastal homes with views and parking within easy walking distance of the harbour and village centre.
The Views
Mawrings commands expansive south-south-west facing coastal views across St Mawes harbour, where fishing boats and moorings create an ever-changing foreground. The outlook extends towards Amsterdam and Carricknath Points on the National Trust-owned St Anthony Headland, and beyond to Pendennis Point, the mouth of the Helford River on the Lizard Peninsula. Black Rock and the main shipping lanes sit between these landmarks, with the distant dishes of Goonhilly Down visible on the horizon. The panorama is broad and dynamic, with the harbour and bay alive with seasonal sailing racing to visiting cruise liners and super yachts throughout the year.
