Description

This unique property is believed to have been built for a retired couple in the early 1990’s to the design and exacting specifications meeting the living requirements of the owners. This spacious property has remained in the ownership of the same family since it was built. Therefore, this is the first time Wild Willow Cottage has seen the open market. Initial outside impressions do not depict the size of the living accommodation which amounts to around 2528 square feet. Potential exists with the detached garage / workshop to build a two bedroomed annexe as there was a previous planning application granted in February 2016 which has now lapsed. Also, the attic, albeit being constructed with a canopied ceiling, has potential to convert to extra accommodation, subject to any necessary consents.

The Views

With a southerly and south easterly aspect, the property, from its dining room, lounge and connecting sun terrace, enjoys glimpses of St Mawes Harbour towards Place Manor and the National Trust owned St Anthony Headland. The dormer windows in the attic enjoy uninterrupted views of Summers Beach, St Mawes Harbour towards the Percuil River, Place Manor, St Anthony Headland and glimpses of the English Channel beyond.

Summary

Suited towards the lifestyle change retiring buyer, this unique home will also appeal to a family, either as a permanent or holiday home, who, subject to any necessary planning consents, could adapt and re-configure the existing accommodation into a design layout that suits their lifestyle aspirations and needs.

St Mawes

St Mawes has long been one of the West Country's more desirable and exclusive destinations. It has recently been awarded by 'Which' as the "top seaside town in the UK".

There is an all-year-round pedestrian ferry service to and from Falmouth and a seasonal ferry runs to Place, providing access to the scenic walks on the National Trust owned St Anthony Headland.
