An Idyllic Cornish Lifestyle Opportunity
Perfectly balancing historic charm with modern family living, this beautifully presented, stone-built home features striking granite and brick quoins, brick lintels, and a classic slate roof. Because the property is unlisted, it enjoys the immense benefit of modern double glazing throughout while fully retaining the undeniable character of an older home. Situated in one of Cornwall’s most sought-after villages, you are within easy walking distance of vibrant local amenities and just two miles from the award-winning beach at Mawgan Porth.
The Welcome
The property greets you with immediate charm. Pass through a garden gate beneath a custom pergola into a small front garden, featuring a private patio area perfectly positioned to take in scenic, elevated views over the valley and the village below.
Step inside to an entrance hall rich in texture and character, featuring an exposed stone wall, traditional slate flooring, a painted staircase, and practical under-stairs storage.
Living Spaces
The dual-aspect sitting room is bathed in natural light, boasting a large front window and a glazed door that opens directly onto the front patio. Solid oak flooring (installed in 2022) runs underfoot, while a feature wood burner serves as a cozy focal point. Modern, wall-mounted electric radiators supplement the heating.
To the rear lies the heart of the home: a recently extended, light-filled kitchen. A new, part-vaulted ceiling with south-facing Velux skylights combines with picture sash windows and expansive bi-fold doors to flood the space with sun. The characterful slate flooring continues here, offering ample room for a family dining table alongside a central kitchen island with a breakfast bar. The kitchen is fitted with a range of shaker-style floor and wall cabinets topped with solid wood worktops. A three-oven Belling range sits at the center, complemented by a Belfast sink, an integrated dishwasher, and dedicated space for a freestanding fridge-freezer and washing machine.
Bedrooms & Bathrooms
Upstairs, the property offers two generous double bedrooms
both dual-aspect with double-glazed sash windows that frame local views. A third single bedroom offers flexibility as a child's room or home office, all served by a newly extended and completely replaced contemporary family bathroom.
Gardens & Exterior
Step through the kitchen’s bi-fold doors onto a lovely, sheltered patio area. Facing due west, the rear of the property is a sun-trap, bathed in afternoon and evening light. An attractive stone retaining wall encloses the patio, creating a private oasis for alfresco dining. From here, stone steps lead up to a raised lawned garden, offering fine views over the valley and open countryside beyond.
To the side of the house, a practical lean-to storage shed offers excellent utility, with steps leading down to the driveway.
Perfectly positioned within the village, the home is close enough to let you immerse yourself in St Mawgan's active community, yet tucked away enough to ensure total peace and privacy from the village green and the historic Falcon Inn.
THE SURROUNDING AREA
St Mawgan is widely regarded as one of the north coast’s most enchanting villages. It boasts a thriving, active community famous for its annual events, including the Flower Festival, Cabaret Club, Steam Rally, pub Beer Festival, and the traditional Boxing Day Pram Push. The village features excellent daily amenities, including a highly regarded primary school, a village shop and post office, a parish church, a cricket ground, a craft shop, and a beautiful Japanese Garden and bonsai nursery.
