IntroductionThis attractive detached property, located just a "stone’s throw" from the beach and village amenities, is perched in an elevated position that offers the most stunning and panoramic views, which must be seen to be fully appreciated. The vistas from the living room, both kitchens, the balcony, and three of its spacious bedrooms are, in our opinion, among the finest in St Mawes. These views encompass the harbour and quay, boat moorings, and the partly wooded National Trust St Anthony Headland. On clear days, you can even see the English Channel and the Manacles on the Lizard Peninsula. The bay and harbour are vibrant with marine activity throughout the year, including sailing races that often start and finish in the harbour, all of which can be enjoyed from the property. Currently, the property is arranged as two spacious self-contained apartments, but it can easily be used as a large, airy four-bedroom home, offering flexibility to suit your needs. While the property is perfectly usable as it is, it would benefit from some updating to enhance its charm and functionality. This offers a fantastic opportunity to modernize the space while preserving its unique character and breath-taking views.
DescriptionFrom the parking bay off Hillhead, a path and steps lead up to this very spacious property, which is currently divided into two flats: Little Muskoka on the ground floor and Muskoka above. Little Muskoka features a paved sun terrace with views and a lawned area to the front and side. The flat, which has wonderful water and village views, includes a hallway that currently serves as a dining area, a kitchen, and a generously sized living room that is currently being used as a bed-sitting room. There's also a bedroom with an attractive en suite shower room, a separate WC, and a good-sized storage room at the rear, equipped with a shower—perfect for rinsing off after a day at the nearby beach—as well as a boiler room. A stair case that leads up to Muskoka.
Muskoka can also be accessed through the rear garden area, offering a convenient and private entry point to the property. Muskoka offers a welcoming entrance hall leading to a good-sized kitchen, well-equipped with plenty of wall and floor units. The L-shaped living room includes a dining area and opens onto a stunning balcony, providing excellent water and country views. The main bedroom at the front enjoys these views as well, while a further double bedroom at the rear features a convenient wash basin. The property also includes a bathroom with separate WC off. The landing area, which connects to a staircase down to Little Muskoka, has enough space for a sofa bed, offering additional accommodation options.
