Budock Vean Lane, Mawnan Smith, TR11

THE PROPERTY

This large family home has over 2,000 sq.ft. well-presented accommodation with plenty of light, and yet there is still scope to improve/extend should the new owner wish. Planning permission was granted to extend upwards, Cornwall Council Planning Application Number: PA23/09351. Currently, there are as many as five bedrooms on offer, plus a large sitting room with views over the garden and out to farmland in the distance. Our vendors have embarked on a series of works during their ownership, and now the flow, style and presentation are superb. The location is great for those wanting a quiet, peaceful life yet close enough to shops, schools and the excellent walks around the nearby water, woodland and pasture. Also on the doorstep is the rather elegant Budock Vean Hotel, which could become your “local” and offers the added bonus of a superb restaurant, swimming pool, gym, spa, snooker room, and a challenging golf course.

THE LOCATION

Budock Vean Lane is an exclusive private driveway of much sought-after and individual homes, mostly set in large gardens and some with waterfrontage to Port Navas Creek. It is a lovely place to live and lies in a convenient, unspoilt and delightful setting where Mawnan Smith village is a few minutes’ drive away, providing excellent community spirit and good everyday facilities including local shops, primary school, restaurant, café, church and pub. Falmouth's vibrant and thriving harbour town is close at hand with its comprehensive commercial and leisure facilities, whilst the cathedral city of Truro is the administrative centre of Cornwall and offers good private schooling and a mainline rail link to London Paddington. Situated just half a mile from Port Navas Creek and three-quarters of a mile from the shores of the Helford River at Helford Passage, with its famous Ferry Boat Inn beside the beach. The Helford River is a very special place. Not only is it designated an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, but also a site of Special Scientific Interest and Special Area of Conservation where, uniquely, major environmental groups and organisations, including the National Trust, come together to protect, monitor and develop the river and its surrounds. The Helford estuary is home to many deep water moorings, Helford River Sailing Club, the thatched Shipwrights pub on the south side of the river and, as mentioned, the Ferry Boat Inn on the north side. This is an area particularly favoured by the sailing fraternity with excellent facilities, not only at Port Navas creek but also in the Helford River and Falmouth Bay. There is a golf course on one's doorstep at Budock Vean and another at Falmouth, together with breath-taking cliff-top walks and safe sandy beaches at Helford Passage, Durgan, Maenporth, Swanpool and Falmouth - all within easy driving distance. Communications to Cornwall have vastly improved over recent years, with the A30 dual carriageway just north of Truro giving fast access to the M5 motorway at Exeter. Newquay airport provides regular shuttle flights to London Gatwick, Stansted and many other European destinations.
