THE LOCATION
The pair of Glendurgan Cottages lie in an incredible spot, nestling between National Trust owned Glendurgan Gardens, with over 300 acres of woodland and coastline, and Trebah Garden and its 26 acres of beautiful Cornish valley garden cascading down to the Helford River.
Mawnan Smith village is nearby and has good local amenities which include a well rated primary school, beautiful Norman Church, the 17th century Red Lion thatched pub, and a great general store. The village square has places to eat and a small selection of shops whilst "The Old Smithy", with resident blacksmith and silversmith, shows local arts and crafts.
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 administration centre of Cornwall and offers good private schooling and a mainline rail link to London Paddington.
Not only is the Helford River 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 the Ferry Boat Inn sits beside a blissful sandy beach on the north side, less than a mile from the property. This is an area particularly favoured by the sailing fraternity with excellent facilities on the Helford River and within Falmouth Bay. There is a golf course close by at Budock Vean and another at Falmouth besides breath-taking cliff-top walks and safe sandy beaches at Maenporth, Durgan, Swanpool, Falmouth - all within easy driving distance.
Communications to Cornwall have vastly improved over recent years with the A30 dual carriageway giving fast access to the M5 motorway at Exeter. Newquay airport provides regular shuttle flights to London Gatwick, Stanstead and many other European destinations.
THE PROPERTY & A LITTLE HISTORY
This fine semi-detached house was built in 1910 as one of a pair of ‘gardener’s cottages’ to neighbouring Glendurgan House, owned by the wealthy Fox family who had interests in many enterprises, including a shipping company. The family travelled far and wide in the 1800s, bringing back exotic species of plants from Australia, Brazil and others from warm temperate gardens to their own personal gardens in Cornwall. As a family, they are credited with the creation of several stunning local gardens including Glendurgan, Trebah, Penjerrick, Fox Rosehill and Meudon.
1 Glendurgan Cottages has been thoughtfully improved and evolved to create a comfortable, stylish home of real quality. There are three bedrooms, the main with ensuite shower room, plus a family bathroom upstairs. ‘Living’ space is generous with a sociable arrangement of kitchen, hand made in ash and with polished granite worktops, open plan to the dining room with plenty of space for a large table and chairs. This room leads into a bay window sitting room and via French doors into the conservatory.
An oil-fired Rayburn fuels radiator central heating and hot water supply and there are two additional woodburning stoves.
The garden is delightful, with areas of real privacy and establishment, together with much parking space.
The 20’ x 20’ garage provides flexibility as workshop or office perhaps, together with a studio above, accessed externally to the rear by spiral staircase. All in all, a lovely home in glorious surrounding – whole heartedly recommended.
