Summary - RIVERSIDE FLATS 5 RIVER STREET MEVAGISSEY ST AUSTELL PL26 6UE
1 bed 1 bath Apartment
Compact, characterful harbour-base ideal for low-maintenance coastal living.
Ground-floor with near-level village access
Set just moments from Mevagissey’s historic harbour, this ground-floor one-bedroom apartment pairs period charm with low-maintenance living. The bright dual-aspect living and dining room with sash-style windows and wood flooring creates a welcoming social space, while an adjacent modern kitchen includes integrated appliances for everyday convenience. Two built-in storage cupboards and an allocated courtyard parking space add practical benefits often rare in central coastal locations.
The spacious double bedroom and stylish bathroom with shower-over-bath provide comfortable accommodation for a single occupant or couple. The long lease (963 years remaining) and modest annual costs—service charge £848.86 and ground rent £35—support straightforward ownership planning. An automatic ventilation system and double glazing help with comfort and condensation control, though heating is by electric room heaters, which may raise running costs compared with mains gas.
Important practical notes: the property is small (approximately 370 sq ft) and sits in a high flood-risk area, which is a material consideration for insurance and resilience. Buyers should check flood cover and any recommended mitigation. The location is excellent for coastal walks, beaches, village amenities and links to St Austell and Truro, making the flat suitable as a low-maintenance retirement base, holiday let, or starter home for those prioritising location over interior space.
Overall, this apartment offers an attractive, easy-to-manage slice of harbour-side living with characterful features, long lease security, and straightforward annual costs—balanced against small overall size, electric heating, and known flood risk.
