SITUATION

Crocknagodna House is situated in a coveted waterfront position above the mouth of Restronguet Creek enjoying captivating views upstream over the creek and downstream over the deep waters of the Fal Estuary across to the Roseland Peninsula.

Restronguet Weir itself is a charming hamlet approached over a no-through road from Mylor Bridge with tidal access across the beach to just a handful of houses. A short walk along the waterside footpath will lead to the 13th century thatched Pandora Inn, set on the shores of Restronguet Creek.

Back in the 1800s when Devoran was a thriving port, Restronguet Passage was a busy shipping channel and many of the houses here were built for the pilots responsible for navigating the ships in and out of port. This is a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty

The superb Mylor Yacht Harbour is approximately 2.5 miles boasting excellent facilities including a yacht marina, sailing clubs and restaurants. Mylor Bridge offers a good range of local facilities including general stores, news agent, post office, doctors surgery and The Lemon Arms. The port and university town of Falmouth is close at hand and Truro City has a mainline rail connection to London Paddington including overnight ‘sleeper’ service.

THE HOUSE

Crocknagodna House is an exceptionally positioned marine residence, dating from the 19th century. This pretty house provides good family accommodation as well as peace and seclusion, although the well known Pandora Inn is less than five minutes meander along the path!

Last sold (by Jonathan) some twenty years ago, the house has been extended at the north end to provide an additional reception room on the ground floor and bedroom on the first floor. There are now three reception rooms and a kitchen-breakfast room on the ground floor with four bedrooms and two bath/shower rooms on the first floor and a further attic bedroom on the second floor.

Although the house has been well maintained (including recent overhaul of private drainage system), we feel that the next owner will want to upgrade the interior and perhaps take the opportunity to reconfigure the layout and accommodation.

Vehicular access across the beach is restricted only by high spring tides and adds yet another romantic aspect to this enviable position.

GARDENS AND GROUNDS

From the lane above the shore, a concrete ramp leads up to the driveway through a pair of gates and across the front of the house to a parking area where there is a generous store/workshop. From here a gate leads out to the public footpath to the award winning Pandora Inn. Steps up lead from the driveway to a paved terrace across the front of the house and commanding a magnificent vista taking in Restronguet Creek, Restronguet Point and the Carrick Roads. Above the house are steep gardens with many rhododendrons affording a high degree of privacy to the property itself. There are deep-water moorings in the creek in front of the house, subject to availability.
