Description
An exceptional opportunity awaits with this charming and spacious three-bedroom detached home, perfectly positioned in the highly sought-after hamlet of Goonown in St Agnes. Enjoy the best of both worlds — a peaceful setting away from the summer crowds, yet just a short walk to the village centre, stunning beaches and coastal paths, and only 0.4 miles from the local primary school, making this an ideal family location. The property would benefit from some minor modernisation to bring the property back to it's formal glory.
Upon entering, you are welcomed by a large, open and light-filled entrance hall, setting the tone for the generous proportions found throughout the property. The accommodation includes a spacious dual-aspect lounge, flooded with natural light and featuring a cosy fireplace — perfect for relaxing on chilly winter evenings. Sliding patio doors lead seamlessly onto the rear garden and sun terrace, creating an ideal space for morning coffee, outdoor entertaining or alfresco dining during long summer evenings.
The home also benefits from a separate and highly practical utility/laundry room, complete with sink, fitted cupboards, plumbing for a washing machine, and an external door providing direct access to the garden — a valuable addition for everyday family living.
While the property is fresh and immediately liveable, it offers exciting potential for modernisation or remodelling, providing a true blank canvas for new owners to create a bespoke coastal retreat tailored to their own style and needs.
Externally, the property features off-road driveway parking for multiple vehicles, an integral garage with internal access, and a large, level, enclosed rear garden. The garden enjoys an enviable aspect with excellent natural light throughout the day, is principally laid to lawn, and includes a generous sun terrace, making it both low maintenance and perfect for outdoor living and entertaining.
Set within a quiet and well-regarded location, yet conveniently close to the vibrant heart of St Agnes, residents can enjoy easy access to an excellent range of amenities including independent shops, cafés, delis, restaurants, and some of Cornwall’s most celebrated beaches.
Nestled on Cornwall’s dramatic north coast and within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, St Agnes offers the quintessential Cornish lifestyle — from rugged coastal walks and breathtaking scenery to a strong community feel and year-round appeal.
This spacious coastal family home represents a superb opportunity as a permanent residence, holiday home, holiday let or long-term rental investment, in one of Cornwall’s most desirable and consistently sought-after locations.
Property Tour:
Enter via the front door into a large, spacious and light-filled entrance hall, immediately creating a welcoming first impression. A beautiful wooden staircase rises to the first floor, adding warmth and character to the space.
To the right, a secondary hallway provides access to the integral garage, a downstairs shower room, and a separate utility/laundry room. The utility is particularly practical, featuring a sink, fitted cupboards, plumbing for a washing machine, and an external door leading directly out to the garden.
Returning to the main entrance hall, you’ll find the third bedroom on the ground floor — a generous dual-aspect room offering excellent flexibility. This versatile space could easily serve as a home office, dining room, snug, playroom or nursery, adapting effortlessly to changing lifestyle needs.
The tour continues into the spacious and light-filled dual-aspect lounge, complete with a cosy fireplace — ideal for relaxing on chilly winter evenings. Sliding patio doors open directly onto the rear garden, creating a seamless connection between indoor and outdoor living.
Leading on from the lounge is the kitchen diner, which offers ample cupboard storage and generous worktop space. The kitchen is well-appointed and fully usable, though it would benefit from modernisation or remodelling. Subject to the relevant planning permissions, architectural design and structural calculations, this area — combined with the lounge — could be transformed into a stunning open-plan kitchen, dining and living space, potentially enhanced with bi-fold doors opening onto the rear terrace.
Upstairs on the first floor, the landing provides handy built-in storage and leads to two large double bedrooms, both featuring angled ceilings that add character and charm, along with a family bathroom.
Externally, the property continues to impress with a large, level and fully enclosed rear garden, offering excellent space for family life, entertaining or future landscaping. To the front, there is off-road driveway parking for numerous vehicles, an integral garage, and an overall sense of space and opportunity — making this a home with enormous potential for its next owners.

Area:
Perfectly positioned on the edge of St Agnes, Goonown offers an exceptional coastal lifestyle with the benefit of peace and space, yet everything the village has to offer is just a short walk away. St Agnes is renowned for its strong community feel, excellent primary school, and a thriving village centre filled with independent cafés, delis, bakeries, galleries and small niche businesses that give the area its unique character. Everyday amenities, quality dining and local services are all close at hand, making this an ideal location for families, professionals and second-home owners alike.
St Agnes is celebrated for its spectacular beaches, including Trevaunance Cove, Chapel Porth and nearby Porthtowan — all perfect for swimming, surfing and coastal exploring. The village sits directly on the South West Coast Path, offering breathtaking walks along dramatic cliffs and access to some of Cornwall’s finest scenery. With a wealth of other north coast beaches nearby, the area is a paradise for outdoor enthusiasts, dog walkers and families who love an active, seaside lifestyle.
Despite its tranquil coastal setting, St Agnes is exceptionally well connected. Truro is just a short drive away, providing mainline rail links to London, while the A30 offers fast access across Cornwall and beyond. Newquay Airport is within easy reach for UK and European travel, and regular bus routes connect the village to Truro and surrounding coastal towns. This rare combination of connectivity, community and coastline is exactly why St Agnes remains one of Cornwall’s most desirable and enduringly popular places to live — offering the perfect balance of coastal charm, family life and modern convenience.
