Ar Dowr – A Singular Coastal Residence Above St Mawes Harbour
Where the river meets the sea, and architecture meets the landscape.
Positioned above the waters of St Mawes Harbour in one of Cornwall’s more sought-after coastal areas, Ar Dowr is a thoughtfully extended residence with far-reaching views across the Roseland Peninsula’s coastline and countryside.
Named from the Cornish for “facing the water, ” the home sits in an elevated spot on a quiet private road, around 550 yards from the centre of St Mawes. It has a modest, understated exterior, with interiors arranged to make the most of the views and surrounding gardens.
The Living Experience
Internally, Ar Dowr is set over a single storey with split-level zones, offering approximately 1,780 sq ft of flexible living space. Most rooms are positioned to take in the surrounding landscape and have easy access to outside spaces.
A central open-plan kitchen and dining area includes a large island, bespoke fitted units, a full-height fridge, and sliding glazing that leads to a terrace. Off the kitchen, a utility room provides storage for laundry, cleaning equipment, coats, and houses space for two under-counter freezers.
Next to the kitchen, a sitting room with a wood-burning stove flows into a conservatory with views over the harbour and nearby countryside.
There are four bedrooms in total. The principal bedroom located on the lower ground floor, has a dressing area and en-suite bathroom. Bedroom two on the ground floor is linked to a Jack and Jill-style en-suite and sits on the same level as the kitchen and dining area, making it suitable for use by a guest or elderly relative. Bedroom three located on the lower ground is currently used as a study, ideal for remote working. The main family bathroom located on the ground floor has underfloor heating, and lighting throughout the home has been selected to provide comfort and practicality. Bedroom four is located next to the family bathroom, with views to the front of the property.
Architecture and Sustainability
In addition to its layout and finish, Ar Dowr has been designed with energy efficiency in mind. Solar thermal and photovoltaic panels are integrated into the roof, generating a feed-in tariff of over £3,000 per year (linked to inflation and secured until 2035). Other energy features include double glazing, cavity wall and roof insulation, and oil-fired central heating.
The landscaped gardens extend to around 0.21 acres and are intended to complement the setting. Several patios, decks, and seating areas provide options for outdoor use, while a vegetable plot, fruit trees, pond, and greenhouse add to the property’s self-sufficiency.
The Views
The property is southeast-facing, with a broad outlook over Summers Beach, Polvarth Point, the harbour, and St Anthony’s Lighthouse, continuing on to Falmouth Bay and The Lizard. The view changes with the weather and seasons, with frequent sightings of wildlife and passing boats.
The Location – St Mawes
St Mawes is a well-regarded village on Cornwall’s south coast, offering independent shops, cafés, restaurants, and established sailing facilities. From Ar Dowr, the village is a short walk away. A passenger ferry runs year-round to Falmouth, and seasonal routes connect with walking paths around St Anthony Head.
The wider region includes a range of restaurants (including Michelin-starred venues), galleries, gardens, and historic sites. Transport links include direct rail services from St Austell and flights from Cornwall Airport Newquay, approximately 29 miles away.
