Boslowen occupies about 1.6 acres of private, elevated grounds with sweeping valley views toward the Helford River. The detached stone residence offers flexible 4–5 bedroom accommodation arranged over multiple levels, a generous kitchen/dining room, triple-aspect conservatory and a superb principal suite with dressing room and en-suite. Three substantial detached outbuildings and a double garage provide exceptional storage, workshop or annexe potential (subject to planning consents).
Practical features include underfloor heating to the ground floor, oil-fired central heating upstairs, borehole water with filtration, private drainage via a treatment tank and double glazing installed after 2002. The house has high-quality finishes such as engineered oak and slate flooring, contemporary bathrooms and a wood-burning stove, making it ready for comfortable rural living while retaining scope for personalisation.
Notable considerations are the EPC rating of D, medium flood risk for the area, reliance on oil for main fuel, and private drainage and water supplies which require ongoing management. The stone walls are original granite with assumed no cavity insulation; buyers seeking higher thermal efficiency may want to allow for retrofit or improvement works.
This is a substantial rural property suited to families seeking space and countryside lifestyle, hobbyists needing workshops or investors wanting a versatile plot with conversion possibilities. Its secluded location near Mawnan Smith and Falmouth combines rural tranquillity with reasonable access to local amenities and transport links.
