4 DESCRIPTION Hir Kermmyns was only constructed in 2012 to a fabulous contemporary design which is both striking from the outside and creates large and very useable internal spaces. The house has very much been designed around its truly beautiful views down over the sailing waters at the mouth of the Percuil River with protected woodland and countryside beyond and there are even glimpses of the English Channel over the top of St Anthony Headland. The view is made even more attractive as the foreground is over the property s own extensive landscaped and lawned garden with many well planned beds, specimens and mature trees mostly lined with lavender topped stone walls. Across the rear of the house is a terrace with a planted front and above this is a full width balcony with stairs descending to the garden. To the front of the house is a further generous lawn, again with landscaping with the focal point being the two handsome pine trees on the front boundary. The interior is of a reverse level design with the upper floor living accommodation approached over a curving staircase in the front turret. The stairs alight at a wood floored hall with doors opening to the wc, the kitchen and then the utility and a wide and high opening creates a semi open-plan feel to the particularly generous living/dining room. This space also has a light wood floor and a monopitched ceiling over the dining area. Broad windows take in the outlook to the front and to the rear bi-fold doors open onto the balcony and face the views. Our clients have cleverly arranged this room so that in addition to the dining area there are two seating areas, one to enjoy the views during the day and the other more focused on a woodburning stove set into a recessed part of the room. The kitchen is also focused on the outlook with its own set of bi-fold doors to the balcony and is set under a vaulted ceiling with a range of high gloss modern units. There is plentiful space for a dining table in this room and to the rear of it is the utility room. The bedroom accommodation is no less impressive and is cleverly concealed from the reception hall as it is accessed via inner halls to either end. The master bedroom is arranged so that the bed may face straight out of a set of bi-fold doors to the water. In addition, there is an area of curving wall and a long run of fitted wardrobes. Off its own short entrance hall is a contemporary en-suite bath/shower room. The adjacent second bedroom suite is only marginally less impressive as it also has fitted wardrobes, an en-suite bathroom and a glazed door to the garden with large windows beside taking in the outlook. At the other side of the house are two further large double bedrooms which share a family bathroom opposite and this also has a section of curving wall. Hir Kemmyns blends contemporary architecture with modern energy systems including photovoltaic electricity producing and solar water heating panels and is a very efficient home to run being only Band B on the Energy Performance Certificate ratings. It is also a home one could live in easily all year round enjoying the large garden, plentiful parking, excellent storage and the cosiness of a woodburning stove. The mesmerising outlook and proximity to all that St Mawes has to offer are surely the icing on the cake for this extremely impressive house. LOCATION St Mawes is one of Cornwall s most highly regarded waterside communities with a stunning natural harbour opening at the mouth of the beautiful, sheltered and safe sailing waters of the Carrick Roads. The completely protected moorings available along the Percuil River and at its mouth have deep enough water to hold even the largest of yachts and St Mawes is very much considered one of the finest places to sail from around the British Isles. The local sailing club is very well supported and holds racing throughout a long season and also organises regular youth sailing lessons and coaching, whilst there is also a nearby windsurfing school and kayaking centre. St Mawes has a natural beauty and there are beaches below the castle, below the Tresanton Hotel and also the long Summers Beach facing south west out towards Pendennis Castle at Falmouth. The inner harbour is ideal for crabbing and launching smaller vessels and this is where the local gig racing club are based. There are beautiful walks beyond St Mawes Castle along the National Trust owned coastline of the Carrick Roads to the creek at St Justin-Roseland and also upstream along the Percuil River. Ferries

5 link to Falmouth and also in the summertime to the St Anthony Headland which has further walks through woodland and around the coastline, past St Anthony Lighthouse and over towering cliffs around Zone Point. The village has a very good range of year round facilities including a large general store, a post office, doctors and dentist s surgeries, further shops, cafés, restaurant, bars and hotels including the recently refurbished Idle Rocks and the internationally acclaimed Tresanton. About 10 minutes drive away is the Driftwood coastal hotel which has a Michelin starred restaurant. Truro is Cornwall s capital city and is about ½ an hours drive away either around the road or over the King Harry Ferry which passes the National Trust owned Trelissick House Estate in Feock. Truro offers everything one would expect of Cornwall s only city and of course there is also the wide range of services and boating facilities available at Falmouth.
