It has a wide range of amenities, which are open all year, including a butcher, bakers, convenience store, post office / newsagent, doctors, hairdressers, dentist, pharmacy, village hall, church, delicatessen and clothing shops including Fat Face. The village also has two public houses, and an excellent range of cafes, restaurants, art galleries, gift and ice cream shops.
St Mawes
St Mawes has long been one of the West Country's more desirable and exclusive destinations, with Olga Polizzi's Hotel Tresanton and the chic Idle Rocks Hotel both luring the rich and famous. The village has superbly varied and accessible sailing waters and an active sailing club with a full programme of village regattas, club races and various national championships to cater for all ages. There is an all-year-round pedestrian ferry service to and from Falmouth and a seasonal ferry runs to Place, providing access to the scenic walks on the National Trust owned St Anthony Headland.
A Brief History
A translation of the Cornish name, Tregear Vean, indicates that there has been a settlement at this location for many hundreds of years. 'Tregear' means homestead of the fort and 'Vean' means small or probably outlying in this context. Therefore 'Outlying Homestead of the Fort' seems to be a fair interpretation. The great manor of Tregear was, from very early times, the most important estate in the area, comprising most of the Roseland Peninsula and beyond, and is mentioned in the Domesday Book of 1085. The whole fascinating history of the district can be read in Laurence O' Toole's book 'The ROSELAND between River and Sea'.
Description
Tregear Vean Farmhouse is a detached character property probably dating back to the Georgian Era. It is situated in a private and relatively level location, on the edge of the exclusive coastal harbour village of St Mawes, on the Roseland Peninsula, which is in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The property enjoys a sunny south westerly aspect and features superb well stocked gardens. Beautiful far-reaching views are enjoyed from the first floor and encompass surrounding National Trust Owned countryside, the mile-wide waters of The Carrick Roads over towards Trefusis Point and Falmouth with miles of Cornish countryside beyond. Subject to any necessary consents, the property has potential to convert the detached single storey barn into residential accommodation as well as extend the current driveway past the front entrance to build a possible double garage with a studio / office over plus associated parking. This family sized home is liveable but many may wish to upgrade and modernise to transform and re-configure the versatile light and airy accommodation.

Property information from this agent
Places of interest
Unsurpassed local area knowledge is a significant attribute of the directors and staff of H Tiddy. They have a combined total of around 121 years experience of estate agency, plus further broad relevant experience in other areas. All this, plus living and working locally, makes us uniquely and comprehensively qualified. Three of the staff were born locally. It is as much the area as a property that buyers are seeking, and the paramount location and facilities knowledge of H Tiddy in this respect can bring the benefit of clinching an otherwise doubtful sale. Over our many years of operation we have sold every conceivable type of property in every market condition.
