Description

Built at the water’s edge on the Percuil River (see photograph of the creek), adjacent to a wood owned by the National Trust, the views from the garden and terrace of Westward are stunning, surrounded by water. There are steps to the foreshore from the garden through a gate. You can look across to the picturesque harbour of St Mawes or watch the boats sailing from the nearby boatyard. In the summer a dinghy sailing, windsurfing and canoeing centre usually operates from the foreshore below the house. All the rooms (apart from the first floor bedroom) have water views. Hidden away at the end of a small road, this detached house, with broadband access, is wonderfully peaceful with only two other houses nearby, one sharing the access drive. The balcony has a pretty water feature at one end (the pond has a grid to protect children), overlooking a level lawn that is fenced from the water beyond. The accommodation is reversed, although on the first floor the spacious living-room, one double bedroom and a shower-room are accessed from the front door, as the house is built into the side of a hill. There is a cosy wood-burner in the living-room, comfortable sofas and doors onto the balcony. The kitchen-area is fully fitted with wooden cupboards and granite worktops. Steps lead down to a games-room that has a table-tennis/football table (with access to a terrace and the garden) and to the remaining three bedrooms, bathroom and shower-room. There are a good choice of restaurants and shops in St Mawes, and The Lost Gardens of Heligan and the Eden Project are all a short drive away. The coastal footpath is nearby and the beautiful countryside of the Roseland peninsula is on your doorstep, perfect for walkers. Alternatively, you can cross the Fal on the King Harry Ferry to the National Trust gardens and craft gallery at Trelissick. Parking is provided for two cars; additional parking is available at Percuil car park, at the top of the drive. Please note the higher rent band applies from 23 June to 24 August. Please note that the changeover times are 4pm on arrival and 10am on departure.
