Victoria House
Stunning Harbour Views !!!

"This is like being on board ship,
we're so close to the water."

This is one of the few properties in St Mawes which have the benefit of both sight and sound of the water without leaving the house! Occupying the first and second floors of a building on Marine Parade, fronting the harbour, it is only 50 level metres away from the ferry quay and shops. There are views from nearly all the rooms. Although it’s an ‘apartment’ it has its own street entrance and is elevated above street level, so is completely private and away from cars and passers-by.

The property is designed for comfortable living and has all top brand domestic requisites. It has a dining/living room spanning the width overlooking the water, with open plan kitchen attached which also benefits from the view. Furnished with a mix of antique and new - baby grand piano and a 6ft Laura Ashley sofa. The window seats give prime viewing of all sailing activities on the Harbour it's so easy to sit and do nothing! (Binoculars provided)

The master bedroom and shower room are privately situated on the upper floor with views to the Harbour, and the first floor houses the main living/dining area, kitchen, study, twin bedroom, principal bathroom, utility room and this leads to the terraced garden at the rear: washing line, bbq and seating here..

No Pets please, and no smoking. The apartment has opening sash windows in the living room which are accessible to children climbing. There are cream furnishings and antiques and a small pond in the garden, so we are sorry we cannot accept children under 12.

The house is decorated throughout in twinkly festive fashion. Home from home! Seasonal champagne hamper for you on arrival.

What to do around
St Mawes:

Forget the car: Passenger Place Ferry and walk to St Anthony lighthouse head one of the best country/coastal walks in the county. Lovely beaches. Coastal walk to Portscatho. Falmouth ferry to maritime museum, art gallery, shops and Flushing ferry to restaurants and pubs and Harbour side walk to Mylor for more cafes!

Sailing lessons, canoeing, Boat trips to Helford Passage (Frenchman's Creek) or up the River Fal to Truro via National Trust Trelissick House garden and quaint thatched Smuggler's Inn for lunch/tea.

St Mawes and Pendennis Castle Just sit on the sunny terrace of the Idle Rocks hotel and idle away a couple of hours over a drink, watching the boat and Harbour activities. Walk beside the water to and back from the fabulous creek side church of St Just in Roseland set amongst its lovely garden (hint: take picnic, no tea room and go at high tide if possible)
