The location Lower Tregarne is a lovely hamlet, set in unspoilt Cornish countryside, less than a mile from the centre of sought after Mawnan Smith village.

It is designated part of an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty where nearby footpaths run down through unspoilt countryside to the shores of the Helford River and to the South West Coastal Path with access to further sandy beaches at Durgan, Swanpool and Falmouth.

The Helford River, one of the most beautiful estuaries on Cornwall's south coast, provides glorious scenery, sheltered waters and moorings for boats with easy access to the open sea and Falmouth Bay.

Mawnan Smith is a much sought after village situated about 6 miles south of Falmouth and 15 miles from Truro.

The village has good local facilities which include a primary school, 14th century church, The Red Lion pub as well as a restaurant, cafe and a Spar shop and a small mixture of individual shops, set around 'The Square', whilst "The Old Smithy", with resident blacksmith, shows local arts and crafts.

It is a delightful village with an active community and residents of all ages.

Falmouth has an excellent and diverse selection of restaurants and an eclectic mixture of individual shops as well as national chains, together with quality galleries showcasing local talent.

Nearby train stations (Falmouth Town and Penmere Halt) provide a convenient link to the mainline at Truro for Exeter and London, Paddington.

Falmouth boasts the third largest natural harbour in the world and is renowned for its maritime facilities which offer some of the best boating and sailing opportunities in the country.

Falmouth is consistently ranked as one of the top five places to live in the UK.

The property Gwarthegva Barn is beautifully positioned, tucked into the corner of this outstanding small collection of 3 converted barns all of which are so individual and exquisitely finished.

The conversion was undertaken by well known and highly respected local craftsman Richard Winfree with much evidence of his skill throughout the property.

The accommodation is very well proportioned and beautifully conceived with entrance into a recent, quality conservatory and old flagstone floored hallway with staircase to the first floor and doors to the sitting room and lovely kitchen/dining room.

There are three bedrooms upstairs with vaulted beamed ceilings and the superb master room with en suite.

The sitting room measures a healthy 23' x 14' plus, has a beamed ceiling, fine fireplace with 'Clearview' stove and access via French doors out onto the terrace and garden.

We love the sociable hand-built kitchen and dining room with partially exposed stonework, granite worktops, and three windows to the courtyard.

From here, a doorway leads through to Cider Press Cottage the self-contained annexe whose accommodation could easily be incorporated into the main house, or used for income or a dependant relative perhaps.

It is obvious that Gwarthegva Barn has been thoughtfully designed where so much is bespoke, handmade and unconventional, in a very good way.

The approach from the unspoilt country lane leads onto a farm driveway which culminates at Gwarthegva Barn, where there is a double carport, large slate roofed garage and plenty of space to park.

Beside the house is a lawned garden with generous terrace made of quality wooden effect composite and accessible via French doors from the sitting room.

Cider Press Cottage has access to its own area of south facing terrace.

Rarely do homes like this become available with such a special blend of location and surroundings combined with quality and character - wholeheartedly recommended by the owner's sole agents.
