Description

Nestled in a charming coastal hamlet overlooking the stunning Mawgan Porth beach, Old Smithy Cottage is a three-bedroom detached property brimming with unique character and potential. This home features an inviting entrance porch with a slate floor, a fitted kitchen equipped with freestanding appliances, and a warm lounge area complete with a wood-burning stove, deep window sills, and exposed beams. Additionally, there’s a conservatory lined with built-in bookshelves and a spacious family bathroom featuring both a panelled bath and shower enclosure. The first floor offers three double bedrooms, each providing glimpses of the sea, alongside a practical shower room. The exterior boasts a generous enclosed garden with well-established greenery, a pond, and a south-facing patio bordered by Cornish stone walls and mature hedges. A detached double garage complements the property along with ample parking space for multiple vehicles. Of particular interest is the existing detailed planning permission for constructing a new self/custom build dwelling alongside plans to convert the current garage into flexible space such as a gym or storage area (Planning number PA24/09761). Although some modernization is necessary to realize its full potential, Old Smithy Cottage stands as an attractive investment opportunity in one of North Cornwall's most desirable locations. The surrounding area offers access to breathtaking coastal walks and vibrant local amenities including award-winning dining options at nearby hotels. With easy transport links, including proximity to Newquay Airport and mainline train services to London Paddington within reach, this property represents both lifestyle appeal and renovation potential.
