What the buyer said:

"Ben Davies has been exceptional from when we first met him at the property. Very professional, quick communication and incredibly helpful. Ben had a thorough knowledge of the property and the local area and was able to advise us honestly about the work that was needed and the potential of the property. When Ben was not available, we were assisted by his colleagues. We have no hesitation in recommending Ben and his colleagues at Shore Partnership."

The Location

Meudon Farm enjoys an exceptional location in this Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, perfectly situated between Maenporth beach and the heart of Mawnan Smith. Just half a mile from the Southwest coast path, offering easy access to the stunning coves and headland of Bream Cove and Rosemullion Head – a much sought after area of the South Cornish coast. 

The nearby village of Mawnan Smith is a particularly well served, offering a welcoming community with a village shop, doctors’ surgery, garage, coffee shop, two churches, hairdressers and the popular thatched Red Lion Inn, known for its good food and friendly atmosphere. A short drive away, the vibrant seaside town of Falmouth provides a wide range of eclectic shops, bars, restaurants and cultural attractions, making it one of the UK’s most dynamic coastal attractions. 

For the sports and outdoor enthusiasts, the area offers a wealth of opportunities. Local football and cricket teams are active in the surrounding villages, and there are five golf courses within 20 miles radius - the nearest being at the Budock Vean Hotel. Moorings as well as wind surfing, water skiing and kayaking are available on the waterfront at Helford Passage where the Ferryboat Inn is positioned above the beach. There is also a seasonal passenger ferry across the river to The Shipwrights, a wonderfully positioned pub on the south bank of the Helford. 

The Helford River is one of the most picturesque and unspoilt areas in Cornwall, sitting within an AONB with its deep sheltered valleys, wooded and hidden creeks that cut inland along this sheltered part of the south Cornish coast. 

The area offers safe swimming, sailing and watersports within a timeless natural harbour in which to explore, relax and recharge, much of which is owned and protected by the National Trust. As well as having fine coastal walks and creek paths, the area also enjoys a climate suited to many sub-tropical varieties as the nearby gardens of Glendurgan and Trebah Gardens display so beautifully.
