Compass Point is a front-line coastal house positioned in a superb setting, enjoying truly spectacular sea views over Mevagissey Bay below and across St Austell Bay beyond. The views take in the Chapel Point peninsular and a very long stretch of coastline from Fowey Harbour to the Rame Peninsular in the far distance.

The house, which was built in 2014, was designed around the view and the setting. The curvature of the building is a beautiful feature and ensures smooth lines and an open aspect at every point. Few houses have a real wow factor on entering, but Compass Point exceeds the brief, with a particularly impressive entrance hall with a large light-well above and bepoke stainless steel, timber and glass staircase which descends to the lower ground floor below. The ground floor comprises three en suite double bedrooms, all of which benefit from the magnificent sea views and glazed sliding doors, which lead onto the full width balcony. Also on the ground floor is the utility room and a plant / boot room and two walk in cupboards.

The stairs sweep down to the lower ground floor which opens into a stunning open plan living area with multiple floor to ceiling glazed windows and doors that run the entire width of the room and open onto the infinity terrace. The kitchen, although open to the living area, is partitioned off beautifully, providing privacy from guests if entertaining. Fitted with a good range of units in a stylish gloss white and topped with black granite worktops, the integral appliances include a double oven, induction hob, dishwasher and fridge freezer.
A home office is located on the lower ground floor, which could alternatively be a fourth bedroom or TV room if preferred.

Outside
The property is approached from Polkirt Hill, where there is parking for three cars. A pedestrian gate leads from the parking area on to a flight of steps that descend to the terrace below. Adjacent to the parking, are double gates leading to a further area of secure hardstanding parking, suitable for a car or a boat.
The gardens are designed for ease of maintenance and offer numerous places to sit and enjoy the outstanding views, including the wonderful, glazed dining pod and large summer house. The lower “infinity terrace” extends along the full width of the house and provides a truly memorable place from which to entertain or simply relax as it enjoys some of the most spectacular sea views that you will find anywhere on the south coast of Cornwall.

There is a storage room providing plenty of room for garden furniture etc.

Quote from the owner 'There are incredible sunrise and moon skies from Compass Point. Kestrels nest on the cliffs and we often see seals, dolphins and diving gannet. We have also seen on occasions, basking sharks, blue fin tuna and orca whales!'


Mevagissey is a very pretty Cornish fishing village, situated on the rugged south coast. The village is a hive of activity and the narrow, pretty streets are home to a gorgeous and eclectic mix of shops, cafes, pubs, galleries and restaurants. In the heart of the village is the working harbour, which is home to the small fishing fleet and a safe haven for yachts and boats. Polstreath Beach is situated on the northern side of the village and is accessed on foot along the South-West Coast Path and the second beach at Portmellon, is a picturesque cove with a public slipway. If you venture slightly further afield, you can enjoy the delights of Pentewan Sands and Gorran Haven. From the harbour you can board a foot ferry which crosses the water to Fowey, which is alternatively 14 miles by car. The wider reach includes many wonderful attractions, including the amazing Lost Gardens of Heligan and the Eden Project. The larger town of St Austell is about 6 miles distant and offers a wide range of amenities as well as a main line train station to London Paddington. Newquay Airport 21 Miles.
