SUMMARY OF ACCOMMODATION Ground Floor: entrance hall, reception hall, lounge, dining/sun room, kitchen with Aga, utility, wc, ground floor double bedroom en-suite. First Floor: galleried landing, 4 bedrooms (1 with balcony), bathroom. Outside: modern double garage with large workshop over, 2 interlinking large stone outbuildings previously used as an artist’s studio and gallery. Lawned garden facing the views, courtyard, store room. DESCRIPTION Blue Waters is the perfect Cornish coastal home taking in world class views across Mounts Bay and focusing directly at St Michael’s Mount. The view is everchanging as the receding tide uncovers the famous causeway to the Mount with small hand driven ferries going to and fro when the waters envelope the walkway. The Mount also shelters Blue Waters giving it protection from the prevailing south westerly swells. The blissful outlook is complemented by kayakers and paddle surfers, gig rowers and the regular dinghy racing from the local

sailing club. All of this is directly accessible below Blue Waters as there is a public path down onto the foreshore. The house is of a double fronted design with slate hanging to the first floor and is detached from its neighbours although it is attached to its own extensive array of outbuildings. To the sea facing south side of the house is a lawned garden and between the buildings is a rear courtyard. Good ceilings heights complement the large lounge with woodburning stove, dining/sun room and kitchen which all face the water. In addition, there is a utility room, wc and ground floor double bedroom with a shower room off. On the first floor are four further bedrooms and a bathroom, with one of the bedrooms having been used as an artist’s studio with double doors opening onto a small balcony. One of the most wonderful and surprising assets of this property is a pair of large interconnecting single storey stone outbuildings to the rear which are smartly presented and have been used as an artist’s studio and gallery, but also present numerous other options. In addition, there is a modern double garage with an electrically operated door and over the top of this is a workshop or further studio

space. To have all of this accommodation right on the front in Marazion is truly exceptional and we expect a very strong response to this exceedingly rare opportunity. LOCATION Marazion is a renowned beautiful coastal town fronting Mounts Bay and overlooking St Michael’s Mount itself. St Michael’s Mount is one of Cornwall’s most popular tourist attractions and can be approached at low tide over a drying causeway. The village of Marazion is well served with shops, art galleries, inns, restaurants and even a dinghy sailing club with regular racing throughout the season. Marazion has a long sandy beach to the west which is popular with walkers, kite surfers and windsurfers. A couple of miles to the west is Penzance, considered the capital of West Cornwall, where there is a large array of local and national retailers, schooling for all age groups, including the Bolitho private school and a hospital. There is a mainline rail terminus at Penzance with direct trains to London Paddington, while the A30 expressway is nearby giving quick access throughout the county and to the motorway network at Exeter. Marazion is positioned at the narrowest point in Cornwall, with Mounts Bay being around a 15 minute drive to the north. The north coast offers long sandy beaches and excellent surfing, whilst the town of St Ives is famed for its galleries found in the quaint cobbled streets surrounding the harbour. West Cornwall has a rugged beauty and there are an incredible number of stunning inland and coastal walks along with hidden and secluded coves.
