House For Sale £2,950,000
A rare opportunity to purchase an historic Grade II listed waterside residence located on one of the most sought-after roads in this enchanting Cornish coastal village. This sympathetically restored home is of outstanding quality. A major attribute is that all the principal rooms and bedrooms in the property offer a variety of beautiful panoramic water views.
Pink Cottage is south facing and is located adjacent to Tavern Beach, in a relatively sheltered situation, renowned for its own benign micro-climate. Internally, this 18th century cottage showcases a combination of traditional character with modern day contemporary interior designs, such as Bespoke Mosaics by Paul Marks, thus creating a charm and aura all of its own. Pink Cottage has a clever balance of living and bedroom spaces, suiting the couple or the large family.
Externally, the rear gardens are a major attribute. They are designed by award winning Jo Penn for maximum relaxation and al fresco entertainment. They comprise various interlinking terraces bordered by colours from the flora and fauna throughout the seasons. The gardens culminate at the top to a private terrace (where the Studio/Bedroom and Sunken Infinity Hot Tub reside), which has the purpose of absorbing the beautiful grandstand views over the harbour and miles of open sea.
The views from the reception rooms, bedrooms and bathrooms in the property, the landscaped gardens, hot tub, outside kitchen and the studio are regarded as amongst the finest in the village.
From the walled fore garden, enter through the St Mawes style double storm porch doors and main entrance door into the spacious open plan Living Room which spans the whole width of the original cottage. You are instantly impressed with the interior design and character features. An exposed stone wall to the western elevation has an alcove and built-in cabinet to store the television and hide the media appliances, whilst on the opposite end is a fireplace, with slate hearth and clome oven. Wide sash style windows have seating to admire the wonderful views and the soft painted open beams contrast the luxurious tile heated floor. A featured staircase is carefully positioned in one corner of the room.
A doorway flows into the Dining Area with painted open beams and a beautiful Paul Marks mosaic floor featuring a seaside theme. The Dining Area is zoned by a large curved island open plan to the bespoke Kitchen, fitted and designed by a company from London. To one end is an electric Aga bordered by a L-shaped worktop where a Belfast Sink exists. Two double glazed sash windows (with seating) and a glazed French doors overlook the pretty cobbled courtyard with beautiful water views beyond. A doorway leads into the Utility/Boot Room which leads on to a Rear Lobby with a back door, large storage cupboard and a door leading to a Shower Room.
On the first floor a front landing has two sun pipes to pour in extra light. The Principal Bedroom has built in wardrobes and dual aspect windows, one with seating, which have beautiful views over the harbour, Tavern Beach, St Anthony Headland, St Mawes Castle, Falmouth Bay and the sea beyond.
A luxury bathroom has a freestanding bath carefully positioned to capture the stunning views. Bedroom 3, which is full of charm and character, also benefits from the wonderful south-facing vista. A rear landing leads to a further luxury Bathroom and Bedroom 4 which has views overlooking Tavern Beach as does the second Bedroom, with a wonderful and stylish en suite comprising a large wet shower area.
The exclusive Cornish coastal village of St Mawes was voted in 2020 by a Which? Customer Survey as the “Top Seaside Town in the UK”. This enchanting south facing harbour village, named “Britain's St Tropez” by the Daily Mail, is found on the eastern side of the Fal Estuary, in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Much of its surroundings are owned by the National Trust. The village is centred round its quaint harbour, its own beaches and Castle. It has a good wide range of amenities, which are open all year, including butchers, bakers, convenience store, post office/newsagent, doctors, hairdressers, dentist, pharmacy, village hall, church, delicatessen and clothing shops. The village also has two public houses, and an excellent range of cafés, restaurants, art galleries, gift and ice cream shops.
St Mawes has long been one of the West Country's more desirable and exclusive destinations, with Olga Polizzi's Hotel Tresanton and the chic Idle Rocks Hotel both luring the rich and famous. The village has superbly varied and accessible sailing waters and an active sailing club with a full programme of village regattas, club races and various national championships to cater for all ages. 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.
