Stunning waterfront home with its own private beach and a private fort goes on the market for £3million
Andennis, on the south coast of Cornwall opposite Falmouth, boasts its own private sand and shingle beach and panoramic water views
A STUNNING waterfront home with its own private beach and an historic castle as a neighbour is on the market for more than £3million.
Andennis, on the south coast of Cornwall opposite Falmouth, boasts its own private sand and shingle beach and panoramic water views.
The seven-bedroom property, set within an acre of grounds, is situated next to St Mawes Castle, an artillery fort build by Henry VIII to protect against invasion from France.
The house, which has a 27ft indoor swimming pool, is just half a mile away from shops, bars, restaurants and sailing facilities.
The plush property was built in the 1930s but has been extended and updated over the years.
The last major renovation work was done in 2006 and a sea defence wall on the beach was built in 2014.
Andennis has a garden with a gate that leads down to the private beach.
To the side of the beach are rocks ideal for rock pooling and a great vantage point for keen fishermen to catch sea bass, pollack and mackerel.
The house has 5,022 sq ft of accommodation with an entrance hall, large kitchen/dining room, reception room, study, games room, seven bedrooms and seven bathrooms.
There is an indoor swimming pool and changing room on the lower ground floor and a bedroom that could be adapted to create a gym.
The master bedroom has a balcony with views of the bay, as well as two dressing rooms, a bathroom and a shower room.
Richard Speedy from Strutt & Parker said: "St Mawes has a beautiful harbour, it's a very highly regarded and very affluent area - the average house price is over £1m.
"It's a very special place and this property is on the outer roads of the village. From the house you look across the Carrick Roads and the Fal estuary to Falmouth.
"It's a great spot and it's nice and sheltered, because you're not actually on the sea you won't be battered by the winds and rain.

"Most waterside locations you tend to be cheek to jowl with your neighbours but this isn't. On one side you haven't got anybody near to you at all and the neighbour on the other side is not close enough to overlook you.
"To have your own private beach is really quite rare in this country, so it's quite a unique property in that respect.
"You're buying on one of the most exclusive roads in St Mawes, which in turn is one of the most exclusive waterside locations in the UK, so it's a great opportunity."
