The property is a half-mile walk along the waterfront to the village’s shops, restaurants, pubs and sailing facilities.

St Mawes is an area of outstanding natural beauty with much of the surroundings owned by the National Trust and has long been considered one of the West Country’s most desirable and exclusive destinations.

Richard Speedy from Strutt & Parker said: ‘St Mawes has a beautiful harbour, it’s a very highly regarded and very affluent area – the average house price is over £1m.

‘It’s a very special place and this property is on the outer roads of the village. From the house you look across the Carrick Roads and the Fal estuary to Falmouth.

‘It’s a great spot and it’s nice and sheltered, because you’re not actually on the sea you won’t be battered by the winds and rain.

‘Most waterside locations you tend to be cheek to jowl with your neighbours but this isn’t. On one side you haven’t got anybody near to you at all and the neighbour on the other side is not close enough to overlook you.

‘To have your own private beach is really quite rare in this country, so it’s quite a unique property in that respect.

‘You’re buying on one of the most exclusive roads in St Mawes, which in turn is one of the most exclusive waterside locations in the UK, so it’s a great opportunity.’
