Maenporth, The Ridges, TR11

Your Own Corner of Cornwall. A Holiday Home That Gives Something Back.

For the best part of a decade, Philip and Diane have enjoyed something that many people dream about.

A beautiful holiday home in Cornwall, somewhere to escape to whenever they wish, spend time with family and friends, and enjoy some of the finest sea views Maenporth Estate has to offer.

But there has been another benefit.

When they haven't been using the property themselves, they have welcomed holiday guests. And over the years, those bookings have done more than simply cover the costs of owning their Cornish retreat.

They have provided a welcome profit too.

It is a combination that has worked remarkably well for them. A holiday home to enjoy, without the usual financial burden that can come with owning a second property.

And that is perhaps what makes this home so appealing.

You don't have to choose between somewhere you love spending time and somewhere that can help pay its own way.

For Philip and Diane, it has been both.

The property occupies an enviable position within Maenporth Estate, enjoying what are arguably some of the very best sea views on the entire development.

And those views are something you can enjoy from more than one place.

There is a generously sized patio, perfect for stepping outside with your first coffee of the morning, perhaps still in your dressing gown, taking in the fresh sea air and those wonderful views before the day has even begun.

Then, as evening approaches, the balcony comes into its own. A glass of champagne, the sea stretching out before you and nowhere in particular you need to be.

Inside, the property is equally inviting.

The spacious open plan kitchen, dining and living area forms the heart of the home. It is a wonderfully sociable space, where meals can be prepared while everyone chats, children come and go, and nobody feels separated from the conversation.

It is just as well suited to a quiet weekend for two as it is to a holiday with family or friends.

Throughout their ownership, Philip and Diane have taken great care of the property. Both the main bathroom and ensuite have been replaced, and the entire home has been redecorated, leaving it immaculately presented and ready for its next chapter.

There are two bedrooms, providing comfortable accommodation for owners and guests alike.

But owning a property here is about considerably more than the home itself.

Maenporth Estate is set within beautifully maintained grounds, just a short distance from one of Cornwall's loveliest sheltered beaches.

There is a sense of arriving somewhere special.

The everyday routine gets left behind, and suddenly the biggest decision is whether to head to the beach, take a swim or simply enjoy doing very little at all.

The estate offers an indoor heated swimming pool, tennis courts, a games room and attractive communal grounds.

For families, it is somewhere everyone can enjoy themselves in their own way.

And because so much is available on the estate, the enjoyment doesn't have to stop when the summer weather disappears.

Maenporth Beach is close by, with its sheltered sandy bay and clear waters. In summer, it is somewhere to spend entire days. In winter, it becomes a place for long walks, fresh sea air and returning home feeling thoroughly refreshed.

The South West Coast Path provides miles of spectacular walking, while Falmouth is only a short drive away, with its independent shops, restaurants, cafés, galleries and bustling waterfront.

Yet back at Maenporth, life feels wonderfully removed from it all.

For Philip and Diane, the flexibility of ownership has been one of its greatest pleasures.

They have been able to reserve the weeks they want for themselves, while making the property available for holiday letting at other times.

And the results have been particularly rewarding.

Their holiday letting income has covered the costs of ownership and generated an additional profit, all while they have continued to enjoy the property as their own Cornish escape.

Of course, future income will depend on bookings, running costs and how often a new owner chooses to use the property personally. But their experience shows how successfully the two can work together.

There is also something reassuring about owning a home within an established holiday estate, where the communal grounds and leisure facilities are maintained and the surroundings are so well cared for.

For owners who live some distance away, that can make having a holiday home considerably more straightforward.

Some people will see this as a place for family holidays, where children and grandchildren can return year after year and make memories of their own.

Others will see the opportunity to own a beautifully presented Cornish property with exceptional sea views and the potential to generate holiday letting income.

For many, like Philip and Diane, the attraction will be having the best of both.

After almost ten years, they have enjoyed the holidays, welcomed family and friends, benefited from successful lettings and made the most of owning their own little piece of Cornwall.

Now there is an opportunity for someone else to do the same.

A place to escape to. A place to share. And a holiday home that has the potential to give something back.
