THE PROPERTY Dating, we understand, from the 1920's, 'Trewennack' is a broad, highly intriguing, single‐storey residence, occupying a particularly good sized plot on this highly sought‐after private road of substantial individual properties, close to the beautiful Helford River and within approximately one mile of the extremely well served village of Mawnan Smith.

Set within its own delightful and extremely well stocked gardens and grounds, which extend in total to approximately one acre, 'Trewennack' has been extended to, now, provide highly adaptable accommodation but, in our opinion, the size of the plot, location and views provide a future owner with immense scope to further develop the existing structure or, possibly, seek consent for two replacement dwellings, bearing in mind the breadth of the plot and the fact there are already two points of vehicular access. The current accommodation benefits from a comprehensive oil fired central heating system and replacement uPVC double glazing, with all main rooms enjoying the beautiful view over the gardens and through the trees to Anna Maria Creek, on the upper reaches of Porth Navas Creek, and beyond, to miles of rolling unspoilt countryside. There is a large parking area for three/four vehicles to the eastern boundary, and a detached garage on the western boundary. Pathways lead through attractive front gardens to a sheltered entrance, beyond which the accommodation briefly comprises an entrance hall, lovely dining room with inglenook‐style fireplace and square bay window, 19' conservatory, double aspect lounge with open fireplace and feature bay window, kitchen with electric Aga and separate utility room, master bedroom suite with dressing lobby and private bathroom, three further bedrooms, one of which is currently used as a study, and a family bathroom/WC. An extensive loft area has been partially boarded and further indicates the tremendous scope this intriguing home and wonderful site has to offer. The main garden areas lie to the rear of the property, where there is a broad terrace and shaped lawns interspersed with beautifully stocked beds and borders containing a mass of mature plants including specimen trees and flowering shrubs in profusion. An extensive former kitchen garden area contains a greenhouse, rose garden and fruit trees. At the foot of these gardens, gates lead onto an additional area of woodland, the ownership of which we understand extends almost to the lane below.

THE LOCATION Budock Vean Lane is a private road occupying a promontory between Helford Passage on the Helford River, and Porth Navas Creek. Consequently, the picturesque day‐sailing waters of the Helford River, Falmouth Bay, and nearby Fal Estuary, are all 'on the doorstep', with moorings available on the Helford River on application from The Duchy. Residents of Budock Vean Lane enjoy access through the grounds of nearby Budock Vean Hotel to the creek, as well as to the hotel's excellent leisure amenities which include a golf course, swimming pool and tennis courts etc. Within half a mile are the beautiful sub‐tropical gardens at Trebah and Glendurgan, a short distance after which is the village of Mawnan Smith, whose excellent day‐to‐day amenities include a thatched public house (The Red Lion Inn), restaurant, cafe, electrical store, church, doctors surgery, hairdressers, convenience stores and garage. The port of Falmouth is approximately six miles distant and has just been voted by the readers of The Sunday Times as 'the best place to live in the United Kingdom'. Falmouth's excellent range of shopping, commercial and leisure amenities provide for most needs, with the cathedral city of Truro, the county's legal, administrative, health and educational centre, being an approximate thirty minute drive away.
