Elgin Close, Mawnan Smith, Falmouth, Cornwall, TR11

Description

Set at the head of a quiet cul-de-sac in the popular village of Mawnan Smith, this substantial detached house enjoys a south-facing position and far-reaching views over open countryside towards the coast. The accommodation runs to over 3,400 sq ft across three floors, so there is plenty of room for a growing family as well as space to spread out.

The standout room is the living and dining room, which measures 26’4” and opens onto the sun terrace. It catches the light all day thanks to the southerly aspect, and it is the kind of space that works just as well for a quiet evening as it does for having friends over. The ground floor also has a kitchen/breakfast room, a separate utility.

There are five bedrooms in total, including a generous principal bedroom, plus further flexible rooms on the second floor that would suit guests, older children or additional office space. Outside, the broad paved terrace is private and sheltered, with the countryside as a backdrop. There is an integral double garage and a good amount of driveway parking.

Mawnan Smith is a proper working village with plenty going on. In the centre you will find a general stores, a popular café and the thatched Red Lion pub, along with a doctor’s surgery, hairdresser, charity shop and the parish council offices, and the old Smithy Workshops are still home to a blacksmith and several local craftspeople. Families are well catered for by Mawnan CofE Primary School, a voluntary-aided school for children aged 4 to 11. It was rated Outstanding in every area assessed at its October 2024 inspection and is sought after enough to run a waiting list.

The wider area is hard to beat. The National Trust gardens at Trebah and Glendurgan are nearby, the creeks and sailing waters of the Helford are just down the road, and Maenporth beach, the coast path and the little hamlet of Durgan are all close by. Falmouth and its harbour, shops and rail links are a short drive away, with Truro and the A39 within easy reach.

The property is offered with no onward chain and is ready to move into straight away.
