Overview
Tucked away on a peaceful, private no-through road in the highly desirable coastal village of St Mawes, this detached dormer bungalow offers remarkable versatility and far-reaching views across the water. From the front-facing rooms, the property enjoys outstanding, uninterrupted panoramic views over St Mawes harbour, Place Manor, the St Anthony headland and, on a clear day, as far as the Lizard Peninsula.
The property is currently arranged as two self-contained flats, making it ideally suited to multi-generational living or potential income generation. However, it also offers superb scope for conversion into a substantial four-bedroom family home, subject to any necessary consents.
The ground floor is generously proportioned and comprises a spacious living room with French doors opening directly onto the garden terrace, allowing seamless access to the outdoor space and inviting in natural light. This room is complemented by a separate kitchen/dining room with ample space for family meals and entertaining. There are two comfortable double bedrooms, a further single bedroom, and a modern family shower room. A utility area is also thoughtfully integrated into the layout.
The first floor is currently arranged with a smaller kitchenette, a cosy living room, two single bedrooms and a bathroom, making it a self-contained suite ideal for guests, older children or holiday lets. One of the upper bedrooms also enjoys those stunning front-facing coastal views.
While the property has been clearly cherished and attentively maintained over the years, it would now benefit from a programme of modernisation. This presents an excellent opportunity for purchasers to update and personalise the interiors to suit their taste, while adding value and enhancing the home’s already considerable appeal.

Additional features include a detached single garage with power and lighting, a summer house and a garden shed – ideal for storage, hobbies, or even a home office conversion.
