Nestled in the heart of St Mawgan, one of Cornwall’s most picturesque villages, Lanherne Cottage is a truly exceptional home offering charm, space, and flexibility. St Mawgan epitomises English country village life, with its scenic village green, meandering stream, traditional pub, highly regarded primary school, village stores, post office, and stunning church. Set just a mile inland from the rugged North Cornish coast, near Mawgan Porth and Newquay, it’s a fabulous place to call home.

Lanherne Cottage is far more than first impressions suggest - a beautifully extended period property with up to five bedrooms, two self-contained annexes, and a stunning 25ft detached barn, all set within lush mature gardens with ample parking.

The main house is a spacious and characterful three-bedroom cottage. At its heart is a 20ft kitchen/diner with a working Aga, complemented by a generous 20ft living room with a cosy log burner, a sunroom, and a stylish first-floor shower suite. Throughout the home, traditional features such as exposed beams and slate flagstone floors blend seamlessly with modern comforts, including central heating and a charming log burner.

The two attached annexes - The Smithy and The Mouse House - are both self-contained, ideal for dependent relatives or as income-generating holiday lets. The larger annex benefits from internal access to the main house, offering further flexibility.

A sweeping gravel driveway leads to the rear, where an exceptional modern stone-built barn awaits. Perfect as a garage/workshop or with exciting conversion potential, this is one of the finest outbuildings of its type we have ever seen.

The gardens are a true delight - large, level, and enclosed, with shaped lawns, mature planting, and multiple seating areas designed for relaxation. A private gate at the foot of the garden provides direct access onto the village green, making it an unrivalled setting for families.

With so many outstanding features, this is a property that must be seen to be fully appreciated. An early viewing is highly recommended to avoid disappointment.
