Property
Embrace the summertime splendour of waterfront living in Cornwall's St. Austell Bay.
In the picturesque fishing village of Mevagissey, Cornwall, stands Compass Point, an architectural marvel that seamlessly blends contemporary design with breathtaking sea views.
Perched on the south-facing cliffs, this front-line coastal house offers unrivaled vistas that stretch across Mevagissey Bay, encompassing the rugged Chapel Point peninsular and the scenic coastline from Fowey Harbour to the distant Rame Peninsula.
The carefully curated design, accentuated by a graceful curvature, harmonises with the surroundings, ensuring unobstructed panoramas at every turn.
The grand entrance hall sets the stage for this striking property, featuring a large lightwell overhead and a bespoke stainless steel, timber and glass staircase descending to the main living area on the lower ground floor.
Here, you'll find an expansive, open-plan lounge, dining space and a cleverly partitioned kitchen that opens to a large infinity terrace extending the full width of the house. It’s a dream spot to host unforgettable gatherings against a magnificent backdrop, as well as the perfect place for peaceful contemplation.
Back upstairs, on the ground floor, you’ll find three en suite double bedrooms, each positioned to maximise the sea views with glazed sliding doors that lead to a full-width balcony.
Outside, the enchanting gardens provide several idyllic spots to unwind in front of the mesmerising views. The glazed dining pod is a wonderful addition, a haven for alfresco meals with the backdrop of the sea. Afterwards, retreat to the summer house, where you can unwind in cosy comfort.
“There are incredible sunrise and moon skies from Compass Point,” say the current owners. “Kestrels nest on the cliffs, and we often see seals, dolphins and diving gannet. We’ve also seen on occasions, basking sharks, blue fin tuna and orca whales!”
Mevagissey: a Cornish gem
Compass Point's location in Mevagissey presents an idyllic blend of coastal charm and vibrant village life. Explore the narrow, picturesque streets adorned with an array of shops, cafes, pubs, galleries, and restaurants.
At the heart of the village lies a working harbour, where a small fishing fleet coexists with yachts and boats. Wander along the South-West Coast Path to Polstreath Beach, a secluded haven accessible on foot, or uncover the beauty of Potmellon, a picturesque cove with a public slipway.
As summer encourages many of us to embrace the allure of waterfront living, Compass Point offers a seamless blend of modern luxury and the wonders of Cornwall's St. Austell Bay.
