4 DESCRIPTION An incredible opportunity to purchase a supremely private detached four bedroom single storey residence constructed in the mid 70 s on an historically important site that is a scheduled ancient monument and was once an iron age fortified farmstead. The property is approached over a 220 metre tree lined private driveway, on a south east facing slope, on the outskirts of the highly sought after village of Mawnan Smith, enjoying glimpses through the trees of Falmouth Bay and the Roseland Peninsula beyond. The current owners have resided at the property for the last 30 years and have carried out some improvements which has increased the accommodation and created a further double garage. The beautifully spacious accommodation now provides a blank canvas for a purchaser who may wish to cosmetically alter the property to their own requirements. At the entrance to the long private driveway is a large detached garage and the one bedroom lodge cottage which has its own garden and adjacent parking. The driveway is lined with mature trees and hedging providing a lovely avenue of approach which broadens, just before it enters The Round, into an area of woodland with rhododendrons, camellias, bamboo, hydrangeas and other flowering shrubs. The driveway enters The Round, adjacent to the property, to provide a large parking/ turning area with access to a detached double garage. To the east, the property enjoys views through the trees to Falmouth Bay and the Roseland Peninsula beyond. The views are also enjoyed by the main reception areas and bedroom. The Lodge would benefit from some cosmetic re-styling but provides a lovely, generously proportioned sitting/dining room, a double bedroom, kitchen and bathroom. HISTORICAL NOTE The Round Field stands on an historically important site which was at one time an iron age fortified farmstead. In an article in Cornish Archaeology when the replacement property was constructed in 1976, this scheduled monument was described by a local historian as the most perfect in the district and during the time the previous owners had the current property built (completed in September 1976) a watching brief was undertaken by the Cornwall Archaeology Society when builders trenches produced pottery, now deposited at the County Museum in Truro, probably from the first or second century AD. LOCATION The Round Field is accessed from a no through road of mainly large, residential properties, on the outer edge of the highly sought after village of Mawnan Smith. Nearby footpaths run down through unspoilt countryside to Maenporth Beach, there are beautiful cliff top walks nearby and further sandy beaches at Durgan, Swanpool and Falmouth. This is a particularly unspoilt well favoured and sought after area of the South Cornish coast, also close to the Helford River which is one of the most picturesque and sought after estuary s on Cornwall s south coast and provides not only beautiful unspoilt scenery but also sheltered waters and moorings (by application for pleasure boats and yachts), enjoying easy access to the open sea and Falmouth Bay. The popular village of Mawnan Smith is within about a half mile level walk and offers a fine range of facilities catering for most day to day needs, including a general stores, sub post office, Italian restaurant and the thatched Red Lion public house. There are regular bus services from the village to the nearby town of Falmouth (approximately 6 miles away) and the cathedral city of Truro, (Cornwall s capital), some 15 miles away to the north. Truro provides a comprehensive range of leisure, commercial and retail facilities, the Hall for Cornwall which hosts a variety of entertainment and theatre throughout the year, has a national coach station and a mainline railway station (with a branch line connecting to Falmouth). The rail links provide a direct route to London Paddington with approximate travel time of 4½ hours.
