Description
Behind its charming façade, this deceptively spacious cottage unfolds into a warm and inviting home, rich with character and coastal appeal. From the welcoming entrance lobby, step through into the main living room — a bright, beautifully proportioned space with an electric log-effect burner, window seat, and the perfect blend of comfort and style.

The kitchen is impressively sized, with ample room for a dining table, making it ideal for hosting family or guests. A separate utility area with washing machine, a downstairs shower room, and an additional utility space housing a tumble dryer add excellent practicality. From here, step out into a fully enclosed rear courtyard — a charming private oasis, complete with outdoor storage and room for a morning coffee or evening glass of wine.

Upstairs, you’ll find three good-sized double bedrooms. Bedroom One, to the front of the property, enjoys panoramic sea views and features a generous built-in wardrobe and a window seat that invites you to sit and watch the world go by. The second bedroom, set just above the Waterside Gallery in a unique Flying Freehold, also enjoys a front-facing position with views to match.

To the rear, a recently built extension creates a light-filled third double bedroom — an ideal guest suite or home office. The family bathroom to the front of the house is a standout feature, boasting one of the finest views in the village from the bathtub — a truly tranquil spot to unwind!

The Views
Full of character and history, this welcoming cottage offers wide-reaching views over the harbour and out to sea. Whether you're in the living room or bedroom, you’ll enjoy the sounds of the water and a view that’s hard to beat.

From the cottage, you can take in everything from St Mawes Harbour and the Percuil River with its moored boats, to the National Trust’s St Anthony Headland. The view stretches across Falmouth Bay all the way to the Lizard Peninsula, with open sea beyond. It’s a constantly shifting outlook – boats, wildlife, and changing light throughout the year. With a south-facing aspect, Prydes Cottage makes the most of the sunshine all day long.

Summary
Prydes Cottage is a home that promises a lifestyle as idyllic as its setting. Wake to sea views, stroll to the harbour for fresh pastries or a swim, and enjoy the ever-changing marine scene right outside your window. With the amenities of St Mawes on your doorstep — including celebrated dining, art galleries, and year-round ferry connections — you’re perfectly placed to enjoy everything this vibrant coastal village has to offer.
