The ViewsBoslowen offers unparalleled, uninterrupted panoramic views that go beyond what mere photography can capture. It’s a rare find, with sweeping views that take in various coastal aspects, including the renowned sub-tropical gardens of the historic creekside St Just Church. The stunning vista stretches from the historic creekside church and St Just Creek, through the Bar, boat yard and beautiful creek, across the mile-wide deep waters of the Carrick Roads, and all the way from the Fal estuary to Mylor Harbour and Restronguet Creek. In addition, the views extend towards Penarrow Point, and miles upon miles of rolling Cornish countryside, offering an ever-changing and captivating panorama that will never lose its charm.
What the Sellers SayThe Roseland is very like an island with a very strong community spirit, and especially through the winter there is almost always some social event taking place, such as the Annual Pantomime in St. Mawes. We believe Boslowen will best suit a couple wanting to retire down here, or a family, to join in the social life or buy a boat and sail. The house has been configured to allow our children and grandchildren to come down here for long weekends or summer holidays, and then to join in - for example - the nearby Junior Sail Training activities, crabbing at high tide, canoeing on the Creek or enjoying the numerous beautiful walks. We have extended the house by building the conservatory, and by adding a cloakroom/shower room in the garage block, so that - if required - it could become a "Granny Annex" by perhaps fitting out the garage itself as a residential room. We also have planning consent to add a Deck alongside the conservatory, leading around the side of the house, ending near the basement.
