GENERAL REMARKS AND LOCATION

Castle View Park is a well-established development of individual properties approached off Carlidnack Road close to the centre of Mawnan Smith village. Number 18 lies in the lower part of the development and occupies a much larger plot than might be expected due to a private rear driveway opening into a wide parking area and garden at the rear. The property is within easy walking distance of most village facilities. It also enjoys an open outlook with views to the farmland bordering the village and across the countryside towards the Helford estuary .The bungalow is detached and arranged on the split-level principle. It affords 3 bedrooms, bathroom, a really splendid combined sitting/dining room and kitchen on the upper ground floor and with stairs down to the lower ground floor and a fourth bedroom with en-suite facilities plus a garage and a huge undercroft. Whilst ideal for anyone seeking an easy-to-run retirement home the property may well appeal to those wanting to create a self-contained annexe on the lower floor for letting or a dependent relative. This lower ground floor suite has been utilised for Airbnb in the past.There are a number of amenities within the village including the thatched Red Lion pub, garage, village hall, coffee shop, village store church, junior school and regular bus service to Falmouth which is about 5 miles away. The area abounds with beautiful rural and creekside walks and especially along the nearby Helford River and South West Coast Path. The gardens of Trebah and adjacent Glendurgan are both about a mile up the road on the edge of the village.
