House For Sale £1,400,000
Perfect for two families living independently together, this unique modern coastal residence is located at the head of an exclusive private close and comprises two superb interconnecting homes; one a spacious four bedroom family house with double garage, the other a lovely two bedroomed bungalow with detached single garage. The property lies within a delightfully established and sheltered garden approximately half an acre in size close to the sea between Falmouth, Mawnan Smith and the Helford River.
The property Woodland Springs is unlike anything we have sold for many years. The large established garden plot was bought in 1999 and subsequently a fine detached family house built with double garage to the side. The owners' family circumstances required a second independent dwelling and so in 2011 'The Studio' - a superb two double bedroom bungalow, was designed and built. Both homes are cavity block built and linked by the double garage allowing such flexibility for living on site.
So often we see the main home with secondary accommodation as the poor relation. Absolutely not so here, where we have two 'top notch' homes suited for two discerning families to live together but independently.
The house fits the landscape beautifully where living space and the master bedroom ensuite are 'upstairs', but accessed on the level. From here, accommodation flows onto a superb large terraced balcony which faces South and West overlooking the garden and pond. The garden floor or 'downstairs' comprises three double bedrooms, a box room and family bath/shower room.
'The Studio' is an understatement as this delightful bungalow has been thoughtfully designed by its architect owner and is a wonderfully comfortable, stylish and well equipped home with access to its own garden, large terrace and detached garage. All is immaculately presented and cared for, windows and doors are UPVC double glazed and an oil-fired boiler fuels radiator central heating and hot water supply.
The established garden is a treat; full of bird life and where one is private and sheltered with plenty of space around. Within the lawn is a spring-fed Koi pond and there is much driveway parking space in addition to the double and single garages, each with electronic remotely controlled doors.
Woodland Springs is an amazing opportunity to own two properties in one, in this lovely coastal location
the location Woodland Springs lies near the sea along an exclusive close of valuable homes, tucked off the coastal road between Falmouth, Mawnan Smith and the Helford River. The property's position is outstanding, set within its established and sheltered half an acre garden.
Woodland Springs is about 1.5 miles from Mawnan Smith village, 3 miles from Helford Passage and just a few hundred metres from the lovely sandy Maenporth beach and excellent Cove restaurant.
Mawnan itself has good local amenities which include a well rated primary school, beautiful Norman Church, the 17th century Red Lion pub 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. The property lies near to the Southwest coastal path, where areas of surrounding coastline and countryside are arguably amongst some the finest found in Cornwall. Mawnan is also home to Trebah Garden, one of the Great Gardens of Cornwall and 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 three miles away, is a truly beautiful place to visit and in which to reside. With its proximity to sheltered as well as unsheltered waters, 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. Falmouth often plays host as the start and/or finish line to many international sailing races including that of the famous Tall Ships, to take place here in 2023.
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 unquestionably one of the country's favourite locations.
