HISTORICAL NOTE<br />

<strong>The</strong> 'first' Merry Mead was built in the early 1960's by<br />

the Le-Good family who bought the building plot <strong>of</strong>f<br />

the Haven <strong>Estate</strong>. <strong>The</strong> Le-Good's lived in the property<br />

for the remainder <strong>of</strong> their days. H Tiddy handled the<br />

sale <strong>of</strong> the property on behalf <strong>of</strong> the beneficiaries, which<br />

was in need <strong>of</strong> renovation, in 2007. Best and final <strong>of</strong>fers<br />

were invited, our current clients being the successful<br />

bidders amongst very strong competition. <strong>The</strong> original<br />

Merry Mead was knocked down and our clients have<br />

taken over 12 months to project-manage the build to<br />

their exacting standards <strong>of</strong> quality and attention to<br />

detail. <strong>The</strong>y moved into the property only a few months<br />

ago. <strong>The</strong>y had every intention to remain in their ' dream'<br />

home for many years to come, as the Le-Goods did<br />

before them.

house <strong>of</strong> approximately 4,382 sq ft has had no<br />

expense spared and simply oozes luxury. Carefully<br />

degrees <strong>of</strong>f due south and has been built to architect<br />

designed specifications to maximise and emphasise<br />

the spectacular views. This sublime house is just 75<br />

yards away from St Mawes Castle and the coastal<br />

footpath. Merry Mead is sensational. It is within 200m<br />

<strong>of</strong> the Hotel Tresanton and Tavern Beach. Slightly<br />

further on is the central village area with banks,<br />

shops, quay, harbour, restaurants and passenger<br />

ferries. <strong>The</strong> sailing club slipway is further on providing<br />

access to the sheltered moorings <strong>of</strong> the Percuil River.<br />

Merry Mead exhibits high levels <strong>of</strong> craftsmanship and<br />
