Mennavean is an attractive three bedroom detached cottage overlooking the head of the tidal Carne Creek with a private slipway, quay & mooring. Much of the land surrounding the property is owned by the National Trust. Tregithy woods and the coastal footpath to Porthallow (4.5 miles) are just twenty five metres to the right of the property with the village of Manaccan just one mile in the other direction. St Anthony is just over a mile away at the entrance of Gillan Creek and offers deep water mooring facilities.

Ground Floor

From the large entertaining courtyard on the left of the property a partially glazed door opens directly in to the kitchen which has a beamed ceiling, slate tiled flooring, oak wall and base units with granite work surfaces along with a wall mounted plate rack, a Belfast sink overlooking the creek and an integral oven and ceramic hob. On the left a door opens in to a small lobby off which are a WC and the family bathroom. The bathroom has a bath with overhead shower along with space and plumbing for a washing machine. An archway and short corridor leads from the kitchen through to the sitting and dining room. The dining area has three windows to one wall and to the side a window with a window seat , all with creek views and door leading out on to the smaller patio. The sitting area has a large inglenook fireplace with a large granite lintel above with a recessed wood burner beneath. To the right of the inglenook is an open arch through to a secondary dual aspect reception room, again with creek views.

First Floor

The stairs on the left of the sitting room ascend to a small landing off which are the three double bedrooms all of which have creek views. One has a large built in wardrobe (which also contains the central heating boiler) and a window seat. The other a partially vaulted ceiling and window with window seat. The principal bedroom is dual aspect with expansive views, a built in wardrobe and an en suite shower room.

GARDENS & THE EXTERIOR

FRONT: - Mennavean owns the land fronting the creek. There is a grassy quay extending to the bridge on the right, mooring for two to three boats, a slipway, parking for two cars and further round the bend is a gate in the hedge with steps leading down to a private creek level grassed area.

SIDE PATIOS: - On both sides of the property are individual patio areas. On the right a small triangular seating area with a door in to the living room. To the left a large paved oval entertaining terrace with great views over the creek. A pathway behind the house leads to steps ascending to the Upper Garden.

UPPER GARDEN -The upper garden has been landscaped and is terraced, mainly laid to lawn with a raised fish pond, mature planting and fruit trees. There is a large paved entertaining area with built in BBQ area. This is above the level of the house and has expansive views out over the creek to the woods and open fields beyond.

GARAGE: Steps down from the upper garden lead to the Garage. This is a double garage with an area of hardstanding to the right with space for a further vehicle or small boat if required. The lane up to the garage is owned by the National Trust as it leads to their land, however, the property has right of way and owns the land to the right of the lane down to the road. Half way up the lane on the left hand side, built in to the retaining wall, is a good sized enclosed storage area.
