Maenporth, TR11 5HT

Occupying an enviable and highly sought-after coastal setting, with far-reaching views across Falmouth Bay and beyond, Bream House presents an exceptionally rare opportunity to acquire a substantial five-bedroom detached home in one of Cornwall’s most desirable locations. Perfectly positioned between the vibrant maritime town of Falmouth and the breathtaking beauty of the Helford River, this remarkable property combines coastal tranquillity with outstanding convenience.

Nestled within the exclusive grounds of Hotel Meudon, Bream House enjoys a truly privileged position, overlooking a magnificent ten-acre field (retained by the Meudon Hotel owners for BNG measures) stretching towards Falmouth Bay. Its extraordinary setting is further enhanced by private access through the hotel's renowned subtropical gardens to the secluded and picturesque Bream Cove and South West Coast Path, together with access to the hotel's facilities.

Offered as a fully refurbished, turnkey home, Bream House is to be comprehensively transformed by a respected local builder and handed over beautifully finished and ready for immediate occupation, subject to mutually agreed specification between seller and buyer.

A landmark home in an outstanding coastal location, offering an exceptional combination of privacy, spectacular views, natural beauty and proximity to Falmouth and the Helford - an opportunity of genuine rarity.

The Location - Mawnan Smith and Maenporth lie on one of the most sought-after stretches of the south Cornish coast. The setting is exceptional and enjoy’s use of Hotel Meudon’s celebrated subtropical gardens: around nine acres of tree ferns, gunnera, rhododendrons and winding paths, descending through a sheltered, valley to Bream Cove, the hotel’s private beach, and on to the South West Coast Path. Maenporth Beach is under a mile away. Glendurgan and Trebah gardens and the Helford River are a few minutes’ drive, and Falmouth’s harbour, restaurants and sailing are a short drive further. Truro’s mainline station has direct services to London Paddington, including the Night Riviera sleeper. Newquay Airport is approximately 32 miles away.

The Property - Bream House sits at the very end of a private lane within the grounds of Hotel Meudon, between Falmouth and the Helford River. Elevated and secluded, it looks out over approximately ten acres of open field towards Falmouth Bay. The field is being retained as biodiversity habitat as part of the wider Meudon scheme. The house is offered on a turnkey basis. A local builder will carry out a comprehensive refurbishment of the house and grounds, inside and out. Before work begins, the buyer will agree the final specification with the builder and the vendor, covering the kitchen, bathrooms, finishes and landscaping. The finished home is shaped around its new owner rather than a developer’s brief.

The vendor has advised that Bream House has not been lived in for at least two years. Under current VAT rules, qualifying renovation works to a home that has been empty for two years or more before work starts can be charged at the reduced rate of 5% rather than 20%, and qualifying energy-saving installations are zero-rated until 31 March 2027. The works are carried out within the existing structure, keeping the house’s generous proportions: approximately 2,692 sq ft of accommodation, plus a garage and basement. The ground floor offers three reception rooms, including a 21' double-aspect living room, together with a kitchen opening to the garden, a utility, a cloakroom and a conservatory. Upstairs, the principal bedroom has an en-suite and doors to a first floor terrace. There are four further bedrooms, a family bathroom and a shower room.
