Description
Tucked away in a magical corner of the sought-after village of St Mawes, Thimble Cottage is a quintessential two-bedroom fisherman’s cottage enjoying breathtaking views across Summers Beach towards the historic Place Manor. Just a stone’s throw from the harbour, this delightful home offers a rare blend of privacy and convenience, being within easy, level walking distance of all village amenities.
Renovated to a high standard, the cottage is full of character and coastal charm. A small, sun-drenched courtyard at the front provides the perfect spot for a morning coffee or evening sundowner.
Inside, the ground floor features an open-plan layout with a cosy living area complete with multi-fuel burner and window seat — ideal for relaxing after a day by the sea. A second log burner warms the adjoining dining area, leading through to a compact yet cleverly designed kitchen that maximises space and functionality.
Upstairs, a small landing leads to two double bedrooms, both boasting en-suite shower rooms and spectacular views over the bay to Place Manor — a view that never fails to impress.
Currently a highly successful holiday let, Thimble Cottage offers excellent returns and is equally suited as a low-maintenance lock-up-and-leave retreat or a full-time residence. In a village where properties of this nature are rarely available and always in demand, Thimble Cottage represents a unique opportunity to own a slice of Cornish coastal charm.
Outside:
To the front of the cottage is a small but lovely, sunny courtyard — the perfect spot for alfresco dining, enjoying a glass of wine, or simply watching the world go by. Sheltered from the main hubbub of the village yet just moments from the harbour, it offers a peaceful and private outdoor space that enhances the cottage’s charm.
