The Plot

A rare and exciting opportunity to acquire a non-estate development plot in the highly sought-after village of Mawnan Smith. This superb site benefits from detailed planning permission (Ref: PA18/00940, approved 26th March 2018) for the construction of an architect-designed, detached three-bedroom reverse-level home.

Positioned in a slightly elevated setting off Grove Hill, the completed property will enjoy a desirable west-facing aspect with attractive views across the surrounding valley. A particularly appealing advantage for developers is that no Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) is payable.

The approved design offers bright and contemporary living, thoughtfully arranged to maximise the plot’s elevated position. At its heart is a stunning triple-aspect open-plan living space, designed to capture an abundance of natural light and provide direct access to two external areas, including a generous west-facing wraparound balcony and terrace—perfect for both relaxing and entertaining. The accommodation further comprises three spacious double bedrooms, each with its own ensuite bath or shower room, along with an entrance hallway, cloakroom/WC, and a separate utility room.

Development has already commenced with the construction of a garage, providing valuable storage during the build. In addition, a programme of planting has been carried out to create natural screening around the site. The plot also benefits from mains water and drainage connections, with electricity available within the boundary—offering a straightforward starting point for any prospective purchaser.

In our opinion, opportunities of this nature are becoming increasingly scarce within Mawnan Smith. This represents a truly exceptional chance to create a bespoke home in a prime village location. Viewings are strictly by appointment and accompanied—please contact the office to arrange your visit.

Mawnan Smith is a very popular and sought after village situated between the Town of Falmouth and the Helford River. The village has a thriving community which is well served by a range of facilities including a general stores, well regarded primary school (Rated as outstanding -Ofsted) and pre school, a restaurant, coffee shop, hairdressers, Doctors surgery and the thatched Red Lion Public House. The renowned gardens at Trebah, Glendurgan and Carwinion are all within easy walking distance, as is the coastal footpaths that lead towards the Helford passage in one direction and Maenporth and Falmouth in the other. The beautiful Helford River with its safe sailing waters and moorings is within easy reach of this property with various footpaths providing access to both Durgan and the Helford. The Helford river provides some of the most sought-after day sailing waters in the south-west. The village is also close to the popular beaches close by that include Durgan, Maenporth and Swanpool, all of which are within easy reach.

Parking - Driveway

The plot will provide parking for two cars once constructed, in addition to the garage, that has already been built.
