The Location

Anneth Lowen occupies an elevated position within the rural hamlet of Trenoweth, surrounded by rolling countryside yet conveniently placed for the villages, towns and coastline of south Cornwall. Its commanding setting provides a wonderful sense of space and privacy, with far-reaching views across neighbouring farmland towards Argal Reservoir, Falmouth Bay and the distant coastline of The Lizard peninsula.

The nearby village of Mabe Burnthouse provides useful everyday amenities, including a village shop, public house and Mabe Community Primary School, which includes nursery and primary provision.

The historic town of Penryn offers a wider range of shops, supermarkets, cafés, highly regarded Penryn College and recreational facilities, together with the university campus shared by Falmouth University and the University of Exeter. The nearby harbour town of Falmouth is renowned for its sailing waters, sandy beaches and lively cultural scene, with an excellent selection of independent shops, restaurants, galleries and waterfront attractions.

Outdoor recreation is readily accessible, with Argal Reservoir situated on the outskirts of Penryn and recognised as a leading coarse fishery, while the surrounding countryside and nearby coastline provide numerous opportunities for walking, cycling, watersports and exploring the area’s beaches and coastal villages.

The location is particularly well suited to buyers seeking a lifestyle property with the potential to operate a small-scale camping or glamping venture. Its peaceful countryside setting, extensive views and proximity to Falmouth, Penryn, the university campus, beaches and visitor attractions could provide a strong base from which owners and guests can explore this popular part of Cornwall. Existing transport links throughout the Falmouth and Penryn area also connect with Truro, Helston, the coast and surrounding villages.

Railway stations at Penryn and Falmouth provide connections through Truro to the mainline network, while the property remains within convenient driving distance of Cornwall’s south coast, the Helford River and the wider county.
