With views across St Mawes harbour towards St. Anthony's Lighthouse and Falmouth Bay, The Moorings is a handsome Victorian property offering a world-class position in this pretty Cornish village.
Set within a short terrace, the four-bedroom house has accommodation arranged over three floors. The sitting room on the ground floor benefits from two fireplaces and a large bay window with sea views, while at the heart of the house lies a large kitchen-dining room.
Upstairs, there are three bedrooms on the first floor, plus a family bathroom and a WC. The principal bedroom at the front has two windows overlooking the water. Further up on the second floor, the master bedroom suite occupies the entire level, and has French doors which open out onto the roof.
There is a small front garden, and a communal courtyard to the rear, plus a storeroom useful for boating equipment. Across the narrow road, the property has a large lawned garden leading down to a sun terrace overlooking the water. A private lower terrace above the water has a set of metal steps leading down to the rocks on the foreshore. Both terraces were designed for entertaining and are exceptional outdoor spaces in the summer.
The agents also understand that the owner owns the foreshore directly in front of the property with a licensed mooring.
The guide price is £1.95m. Contact Savills on 01872 395943 or visit http://countrylife.onthemarket.com.
