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.

The village also has two public houses, and an excellent range of cafes, restaurants, art galleries, gift and ice cream shops. Olga Polizzi's Hotel Tresanton and the chic Idle Rocks Hotel both lure the rich and famous. The village has superbly varied and accessible sailing waters and an active sailing club with a full programme to cater for all ages.
Cornwall
Cornwall has been enjoying a renaissance over the last couple of years. The county recently leapfrogged London to be recently crowned by rightmove as the top area in the UK for the most online property searches over the last year. The Duchy offers a range of accessible attractions such as the Eden Project, the National Maritime Museum, the Lost Gardens of Heligan, and the Tate Gallery. The Cathedral City of Truro is the main financial and commercial centre of Cornwall. It has a fine range of stores, private schools, college and the main hospital in the county (rch Treliske). Fine dining Michelin star and celebrity chef restaurants are in abundance, including Rick Stein (Padstow), Nathan Outlaw (Port Isaac), Paul Ainsworth (Padstow and Rock). Rising stars on The Roseland are Olly Pierrepont at the Driftwood, Rosevine and Dorian Janmaat at the Idle Rocks, St Mawes.
Historical Note (Pendragon And Castaway)
Pendragon was originally built in 1929. During 2002 to 2004, under planning application CI/FP131/0494/02, a major reconstruction to the main house including the addition of a two bedroom annexe was built by a local highly regarded building firm. The re-modelling and refurbishment included a new roof, heating system and bathrooms as can be seen today.
In 2012 to 2013, under planning permission PA12/05126, the old hut in the grounds was demolished and a new detached chalet was built as 'ancillary' accommodation to the main residence. The chalet is now named Castaway and currently is holiday let via Cornish Gems.
Historical Note (The Studio)
The Studio was originally built and owned in 1936 by the Lancaster family, and was let as boathouses to local residents with the upstairs used as a sail loft. The garage was a blacksmith’s forge, evidence of which can still be seen today. In 1939 the well-known marine artist Charles Pears with his wife took over the sail loft as their studio, whilst they lived on separate boats on the river. When the Second World War was declared, it was no longer possible to live on board a boat, so Charles Pears and his wife were given permission to live in the studio which remained their home for the rest of their life time. The building then transferred back to the Lancaster family, who sold the property to a local family in St Mawes where it was used for over 20 years as a holiday home for themselves and their family until it was sold in early March 2021.
Historical Note (World War Two)
Just by the entrance to The Studio, an inscription is chiselled into the quay. It reads “81st Sea Bees Construction Battalion” which was engraved there by American soldiers who built the quay and the access road during the build-up to the d-Day landings in June 1944.
Introduction
The location of Pendragon, Castaway and The Studio, in our opinion, is second to none. Offering the best of all worlds, from accessibility to the river, seclusion in the mature gardens, and breath-taking, tranquil water and countryside views, all situated within a relatively level walk past Summers Beach to shops, restaurants and a wide range of central village amenities within this exclusive Cornish coastal village.
Description
Pendragon has been designed to capture the most of the spectacular views and cater for easily manageable accommodation for the retired couple as well as provide ample independent living and bedroom space for the large family. Castaway, the detached chalet, offers an excellent retreat for guests, family or au-pair and is currently holiday let providing Pendragon’s owners a lucrative income.
The Studio is not only a rare find in St Mawes, but throughout the South West of England. With a private quay and foreshore offering direct water access, this attractive and unique waterfront home has, over the last 12 months or so, undergone a modernisation programme, thus transforming the property as seen today. Internally, the building still retains its bohemian artistic flavour of days gone by.
The Views
The uninterrupted and panoramic views enjoyed from the individual properties are captivating and inspiring. Mere photography does not do them justice. These encompass an expanse of the deep waters of the Percuil River including Pelyn and Porth creeks and the National Trust owned lightly wooded St Anthony Headland, views of which should be there in perpetuity – a very significant attribute. The river is a hive of wildlife and marine activity most of the year.
