This light and airy property has been recently refurbished to a high standard, offering modern comforts while retaining a sense of character. Designed with reverse-style living to maximise the breathtaking water views, Pen an Garth provides a well-balanced combination of stylish interiors, practical living spaces, and an enviable location just 180 yards from the quayside and village centre.

On the ground floor, the entrance hall leads to a beautifully appointed main bedroom with a luxurious en-suite shower room and direct access to the rear garden via French doors. A second guest double bedroom enjoys a sunny southerly aspect with French doors opening onto the front veranda. A tasteful family bathroom, presented in immaculate order, completes this level.

Upstairs, the open-plan living space is a standout feature of the home. Three double-glazed casement windows flood the room with natural light while showcasing stunning views over St Mawes Harbour, Falmouth Bay, and the St Anthony National Trust Headland. A contemporary ‘hole-in-the-wall’ fireplace is framed by stylish built-in shelving and cabinetry, adding both warmth and sophistication to the space. The immaculate kitchen, positioned to the rear, features luxury shaker-style units, granite worktops, and integrated appliances, including an oven, hob, fridge, separate freezer, washer/dryer, dishwasher, and wine cooler.

A separate inner lobby leads to a cloakroom WC with a window offering views over the village to Falmouth Bay and the Manacles. A third bedroom, which could serve as a study or dining room, provides additional versatility to the living accommodation.

The property enjoys captivating views encompassing St Mawes Harbour with its yacht and fishing boat moorings, extending towards Place Manor and the wooded St Anthony headland. The outlook also spans the village and reaches as far as Falmouth Bay and the Lizard Peninsula, providing a constantly changing maritime scene throughout the year.

Outside
The front garden is an enclosed, sun-drenched space with mature shrubs and a paved terrace leading to a delightful veranda. A pedestrian gate provides convenient access to the communal courtyard and garage. The rear garden is designed for ease of maintenance, offering a peaceful retreat with a barbecue area, walled enclosures, and mature planting. A central paved terrace is perfectly positioned to capture the afternoon and evening sun, making it an ideal space for alfresco dining and entertaining.

The adjoining garage (17’11” x 8’9”) features an up-and-over door, lighting, power, built-in shelving, storage in the eaves, a skylight, and a side pedestrian door providing access to the garden. An allocated parking space is conveniently positioned within the courtyard.

A Brief History
The Brake Yard, in which Pen an Garth is situated, was historically an important part of St Mawes’ social and economic life. Once home to stables, a harness room, and a bus service to Truro, the site was redeveloped in the 1990s into four thoughtfully designed homes with reverse-style living to take full advantage of the spectacular surroundings.

Pen an Garth has undergone two extensive refurbishment programs—first in 2007 and most recently just three years ago. The latest upgrades include high-quality ‘Evolution-Stormproof’ windows and doors, bathroom enhancements, new flooring throughout, an upgraded electric heating system with remote control functionality, and a stylish contemporary fireplace with integrated shelving in the living room.

Pen an Garth represents a rare opportunity to acquire a stylish and beautifully presented home in one of Cornwall’s most exclusive coastal villages. With its prime location, stunning views, and practical features, this property is well suited to both permanent residents and those seeking a second home or lucrative holiday let. The easy-to-maintain gardens, well-proportioned living spaces, and off-road parking make this an exceptional offering in the heart of St Mawes.
