Shute Hill, Mawnan Smith TR11

The property

6 Shute Hill has been a much loved home to the generations of family who have lived here for over 20 years. Before their ownership, the house was meaningfully expanded to provide a generous further reception/living room, in addition to the sizable fitted kitchen/dining room and the bow window sitting room. In more recent years, a ‘proper’ conservatory/garden room was added, all of which makes the house spacious with plenty of living space downstairs. Upstairs remains ‘original’ in size with three bedrooms, the large main having an en-suite shower room/wc added, plus there’s the main bathroom, and a cloakroom/wc downstairs. Number 6 requires some modernisation and uplifting, but its very generous garden and plot size make it a great house to personalise and create a special home with remarkable living space.

The location

Shute Hill is a popular development built by respected snw Homes on the outskirts of Mawnan village. The village is about 1.5 miles from Helford Passage and the river. Mawnan itself has good local amenities which include a highly rated primary school, beautiful Norman Church, the 17th century Red Lion pub and a general store, garage and doctors' surgery. The village hall also holds regular events throughout the year and is home to a wide variety of village groups. There are cricket, football and bowling clubs in the village. The village square has a coffee shop and small selection of businesses. The “Old Smithy” workshops have a working blacksmith and other artisans/craftspeople. 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, about four miles away and accessed by a regular bus service. Falmouth has long been a popular boating and water sports location; it boasts the world's third largest deep-water harbour and is the country's first and last major port. Sandy, south facing beaches, fine restaurants and bars, art galleries and shops prove to be a constant lure for those seeking a warmer and more refined way of life. This, combined with the peace and tranquillity that the magnificent surrounding countryside and coastline has to offer, makes Falmouth and this area in particular, unquestionably one of the country's favourite locations.
