THE PROPERTY & ITS EVOLUTION

It is so unusual, and valuable to find a property in glorious surroundings that provides two homes in one, and the flexibility seen at Highcroft. The spacious and adaptable accommodation, over 3000² ft in size has evolved from its origins as a late 1950s bungalow, with three significant extensions, the first carried out in 1977. The current owners moved here in 1992 and soon after created the entrance hall and large vaulted ceiling reception room beside. They love living here and have expanded and fine-tuned ever since, most notably building the substantial two large double bedroom annexe built in 2013, which remains connected to the main house via an internal door, so could be incorporated into the whole, but is an spacious and independent home in its own right. Herein lies the flexibility for multigenerational living, as has worked so successfully for the current owners. Scope too, for a healthy income source or very comfortable place for visiting family and friends. Highcroft is a superb four-bedroom house that is beautifully presented and remarkably light and bright, facing South and looking out to sea. There are three living rooms, including a wonderfully stylish and sociable kitchen and dining room, through to the conservatory and out to the garden with multifolding doors accessing the pondside terraces. The property is enveloped by the garden and driveway, with an ability to designate a private garden for privacy for Highcroft. The garden is an established delight, with mature shrub boundaries for enclosure sand privacy, an expansive area of lawn and the perfect place to relax and entertain on the slightly elevated, south facing terraces.

There is plenty of parking space for several vehicles, as well as boats or motorhomes. Access is from Maenporth Hill, via a private lane, owned by the neighbouring property, where Highcroft benefits from a fully established and undisputed vehicular right of way

SOLAR PANELS AND HEATING

The entire property is equipped with well-maintained oil-fired central heating systems, with separate systems for the main house and The Annexe. Recently installed solar panels have generated an annual income of approximately £700–£800 (in addition to free electricity when in use). A smart energy management system has also been installed, which redirects surplus power to heat the water. All windows and doors are double glazed, and the annexe was built to 2013 building regulations, incorporating high levels of insulation throughout.

THE LOCATION

Highcroft is tucked away on the seaward side of the coastal road between Falmouth, Mawnan smith and the Helford River. Its lane approach draws the property away from any traffic and provides a private setting with the house centrally positioned and facing South within glorious, large, wrap around gardens. Highcroft looks out to sea and is about 1.5 miles from Mawnan Smith village and 3 miles from Helford passage and the river. Wonderful to be just a few hundred yards and a 6-7-minute walk away from Maenporth beach, the excellent Cove restaurant and Southwest Coastal Path.

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 cafe and small selection of shops whilst "The Old Smithy", with resident blacksmith, shows local arts and crafts. Areas of coastline and countryside surrounding the village 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 four miles away, is a truly beautiful place to visit and in which to reside. Falmouth has long been a popular boating and water sports location; it boasts the world's third largest deep-water harbour and often plays host as the start and/or finish line to many international sailing races including that of the famous Tall Ships.

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.
