About this property
Blue Seas is situated on the hillside above St Mawes, a spacious, detached, dormer bungalow on two levels, with wonderful views across the Percuil river and sea beyond. Just right for families. Step up to front door, ramp. The living-dining room has a wood burner and leads to a second living room with views to Summers beach and the village below and doors to the verandah. The simple, practical galley-style kitchen has a utility room and a door leading outside. There are three bedrooms on the ground floor, a king-size double with TV, a single and a twin and a family shower-room.
There are large, gently sloping enclosed lawns with garden furniture and BBQ for children and dogs to run and play, sheltered by pines and looking to St Anthony Head. There is also a useful outdoor area for rinsing sand and storing sailing and swimming gear. This is a simple seaside holiday home in a brilliant area for beaches and the beautiful Roseland Peninsula. Ten minute walk down to restaurants, shops, harbour and beaches but return may take longer!
St Mawes is a small fishing village situated on the Roseland Peninsula, part of Cornwall's Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and is surrounded by rocky coves, sandy beaches and lush countryside and has a notable historic castle guarding the entrance to the River Fal.

Both interior and exterior shabby , grubby , lacking maintenance and looks uncared for generally. Decor and contents 50 years out of date , poor bathrooms and the stated wet room is awful with a faulty floor that leaves a puddle in the corner that lasted all week also puzzling as to why a loo plunger decorated another corner !! Very disappointing that Sykes would list this and at such a large rate as well.
