Mawnan Smith

This charming cottage offers a traditional blend of character and charm, whilst having been sympathetically re-fitted and modernised over the vendors occupation.

It boasts surprisingly well proportioned 3 double bedroom, 3 reception room accommodation, retaining many character features including open beamed ceilings throughout the ground floor accommodation, and lovely open vaulted ceilings within the bedrooms, which has created a wonderfully bright and spacious feel.

It features a truly stunning, deep lawned garden to the rear, with 3 sunny patio areas surrounded by mature planted borders, boasting a fine array of flowering shrubs, spring bulbs and climbing plants including an exquisite arch clad with mature fragrant Wisteria.

The Location - Few properties within the village of Mawnan Smith stand so centrally and, consequently, offer 'on the doorstep' amenities which includes various shops, post office, doctor's surgery, hairdresser, café, and the picturesque thatched village public house - The Red Lion.

The village is set between the harbourside town of Falmouth and the beautiful Helford estuary. Helford Passage is five minutes away, where you can sample locally caught seafood in the riverside Ferryboat Inn. The sub-tropical gardens of Trebah and Glendurgan are located on the edge of the village, and for the golfing enthusiasts, the Budock Vean Hotel features a stunning nine hole course set within stunning gardens, with the backdrop of The Helford and also swimming and spa facilities.

The colourful harbourside town of Falmouth lies around 4.5 miles away, which offers a much wider range of shopping and business facilities, as well as a branch line connecting with Truro and onto Paddington.
