5 bed detached bungalow for sale

Budock Vean Lane, Mawnan Smith, Falmouth TR11

Situated on this extremely sought-after private road, a stone's throw from Budock Vean Golf Course and close to Port Navas Creek, the Helford River, Trebah and Glendurgan Gardens, and the well served village of Mawnan Smith, a detached, individual and superbly presented bungalow, providing light, well proportioned and versatile 5 bedroom, 4 bath/shower room accommodation, set within surrounding, well stocked gardens, with a gated entrance, extensive parking area and detached garage. Now benefiting from planning consent, granted in January 2024, for the provision of first floor accommodation and additional "general alterations".

The Property

Ebb Tide is situated at the entrance to Budock Vean Lane - a private road adjacent to the grounds of the Budock Vean Hotel, which offers excellent leisure amenities in addition to a picturesque nine hole golf course, an easy walk from the property.

The property has, over recent months, been substantially improved by the present owner who has reconfigured the layout to provide extremely versatile five bedroom, four bath/shower room accommodation which, if preferred, could easily be reconfigured should prospective purchasers prefer an annexe, ideal for a dependant relative etc. Furthermore, planning permission has been recently obtained (30 January 2024) for "raising of the roof to provide first floor accommodation with dormer windows. Single-storey rear extension, general alterations including to front porch and side terrace, and replacement of roof over existing garage" - Cornwall Council Planning Application Number: PA23/09351.

A gated entrance (with power connected) opens onto an extensive parking area, sufficient for numerous vehicles, in addition to which there is a deep garage with light and power connected and electronic roller door. The planning now provides the opportunity to extend an already useful utility room to the rear of the property, and to create an attractive terrace on the sunny west-facing side of the building, off the living accommodation, from which far-reaching views are enjoyed to the outskirts of Constantine in the distance. The gardens are well enclosed and attractively stocked, and provide a number of sheltered, sunny, sitting-out areas and terraces, as well as a large lawn.

Already extending to 2,157 square feet of accommodation, Ebb Tide offers the opportunity to develop the property further, although many prospective purchasers will find the existing accommodation more than adequate.

The Location

Budock Vean Lane is situated within one mile from the well served village of Mawnan Smith whose excellent day-to-day amenities include a doctors surgery, thatched public house (The Red Lion Inn), convenience store, garage, church, county primary school, craft shops and bus service to the nearby port of Falmouth. The sub-tropical gardens at Trebah and Glendurgan are approximately half a mile distant, with the head of Port Navas Creek in one direction, and the deeper waters of the Helford River easily accessible, with Helford Passage providing launching and beach facilities, as well as being home to the popular Ferryboat Inn.
