2 bed semi-detached house for sale

Carlidnack Close, Mawnan Smith TR11

The property

This likeable semi-detached, 1960s bungalow will be a great ’find’ and opportunity for the right buyer. The lie of the land here allows for comfortable, single storey, two double bedroom living, set above a large and flexible garage and workshop space beneath. Views to the rear are lovely, overlooking the property’s garden to rolling countryside beyond. Sliding patio doors from the kitchen/dining room lead out onto a superb balconied terrace spanning the breadth of the property, and enjoying this super outlook. The accommodation is light, bright and perfectly liveable ‘as is’, although requires some modernisation. The plot and garden here is a particular feature, having been planted and landscaped by its well known local horticulturalist owner. The rear, lower garden is a sheltered treat with its terrace, fine magnolia tree and specimen camellia and azalea. There is much to excite at 13, presenting a great chance in this highly regarded and popular village.

The location

Carlidnack Close adjoins the valley and countryside is located a few minutes' walk from Mawnan Smith village centre, and about 1.5 miles from Helford Passage and the river. Mawnan itself has good local amenities which include a well rated primary school, beautiful Norman Church, the 17th century Red Lion pub, a doctors’ surgery and a general store with Post Office.

The village square has a restaurant and small selection of shops whilst "The Old Smithy", with resident blacksmith, shows local arts and crafts. Areas of coastline and countryside surrounding the village are arguably amongst some of the finest found in Cornwall. Mawnan is also home to Trebah Garden, one of the Great Gardens of Cornwall, rated among the 80 finest gardens in the world and Glendurgan Garden, owned by the National Trust, with its intriguing cherry laurel maze.

Falmouth is about four miles away and accessed by a regular bus service.
