Discreetly tucked away yet within convenient reach of the hustle and bustle in the village, this exceptional residence offers a rare blend of privacy, serenity, easy access to fine dining restaurants, sailing facilities, and coastal charm. Built in 2018 on the site of a former bungalow, the home was commissioned by the current owners and constructed by respected local builders to an exacting brief: to create a highly specified, eco-friendly, and energy-efficient marine residence with an emphasis on quality, craftsmanship, and ease of living. Designed to harmoniously balance timeless architectural elements with contemporary luxury, Long Summers offers beautifully proportioned, light-filled accommodation. The layout has been thoughtfully conceived to provide both formal and informal living spaces, offering versatility for both relaxed everyday living and elegant entertaining, equally suited to a couple as to a larger family. Description This rare opportunity is set within one of the quietest and most peaceful spots of this prestigious village, just a short 150-yard stroll from the garden gate to the exclusive heart of St Mawes and its picturesque harbourside. Here, boutique shops, acclaimed restaurants, welcoming pubs, artisan cafés, water sports facilities, foot ferries, sandy beaches, and breathtaking coastal walks are all quite literally on the doorstep. A stylish and elegant coastal gem, Long Summers is a luxurious home in one of Cornwall’s most coveted waterside locations. Whether as a primary residence or an exceptional holiday retreat, this represents a rare and valuable opportunity, set in an area celebrated for its outstanding natural beauty, maritime lifestyle, and discreet and unassuming exclusivity. The Views Mere photography does not capture the full majesty of the captivating views which have to be experienced in person to be truly appreciated. The outlook is nothing short of inspiring: a sweeping panorama that takes in the tranquil yacht and boat moorings of St Mawes Harbour, the charming village and quay, the historic silhouettes of Pendennis and St Mawes Castles, the unspoilt National Trust-owned lightly wooded landscapes of St Anthony Headland and the splendour of Falmouth Bay stretching toward the distant Lizard Peninsula. From dawn to dusk, the scene is ever-changing, alive with the graceful movement of boats and the vibrant spectacle of sailing races across the harbour and bay.  It is a constantly evolving canvas of coastal beauty, relaxing, therapeutic, captivating, and quintessentially Cornish. The Landscaped Gardens Designed by the Award-Winning Jo Penn, the gardens are a very special feature of the property. In Jo’s words and aptly named her Sunny Coastal Retreat: “A beautiful and sheltered south-west facing garden, close to the sea enjoying sun throughout the day and into the evening. This garden was designed to complement a new house set into the hillside with upside down living. Bedrooms lead out onto the main terrace, fringed with large plant borders to offer privacy and attractive views. A semi-circular lawn surrounded with mature Olive trees and Mediterranean style planting provides space for the grandchildren to play”.  A focal feature is a circular pond and hidden below the garden is a rainwater harvesting tank to sustainably conserve water supplies. There is a useful pedestrian gate located towards the bottom of the gardens to allow a short cut to the village centre and the gardens become alive in the evenings with the use of ambient lighting. In summary, the gardens offer privacy, enjoyment, relaxation yet are easy to maintain and are child and dog friendly.  Specifications Kitchen Bespoke Cheverell from Devizes hand-built Kitchen cabinets.
