Choughs, Maenporth Road

A superbly positioned four-bedroom detached home with exceptional views across Falmouth Bay, from St Mawes to Rosemullion Head.

Set discreetly back from one of Maenporth’s most sought-after roads, Choughs enjoys a peaceful, private setting less than half a mile from the beach. Built in the late 1990s and extending to just under 2,000 sq ft, the property combines generous, well-planned accommodation with an outstanding coastal outlook.

The ground floor centres around a 20ft sitting room, with broad views across the gardens out across Falmouth Bay towards Pendennis, The Roseland and St Mawes beyond. A large kitchen/dining room and adjoining conservatory provide versatile spaces for both everyday living and entertaining.

Three double bedrooms are located on this level, including the principal bedroom with en-suite, alongside a family shower room. Upstairs, a generous landing creates a useful study area, leading to a fourth double bedroom with its own en-suite shower room.

Approached via a private drive shared by just three properties, Choughs benefits from a strong sense of privacy. There is ample driveway parking together with a detached double garage.

The terraced gardens wrap around the side and rear of the house, with level lawns and a number of dedicated seating areas. Designed to make the most of the setting, they provide excellent spaces for outdoor dining, entertaining or simply taking in the remarkable views across the bay.

The Setting

Maenporth Road is one of the area’s premier coastal locations, with Maenporth Beach and the South West Coast Path less than half a mile away.

The coast path offers exceptional walking in both directions — north-east towards Falmouth and south-west towards Rosemullion Head and the mouth of the Helford River, with some of south Cornwall’s most spectacular coastal scenery on the doorstep.

A private coastal setting, generous accommodation and far-reaching sea views combine to make Choughs a rare opportunity in one of Maenporth’s most desirable locations.
