Summary
Find this home in the endearing village of Mawnan Smith, much-loved for its warm ambience, close proximity to the enchanting waters of the Helford River and its collection of pretty walks.
Summercourt offers you a happy opportunity to leave behind regular routines, and relax and recharge among the ancient forests and estuaries of the Helford.
The interior benefits from an influx of natural light which floods through the large windows. Stylishly decorated with earthy hues, natural materials and a pretty collection of house plants, this is an uplifting bungalow that embraces romantic living. Artworks worthy of the established nearby galleries adorn the walls and add a splash of colour and pattern to the clean and minimalist aesthetic, combining functionality with beauty.
The contemporary kitchen, with its open shelving and framed produce prints, is one that demands to be cooked in. Purchase a list of local ingredients from Mawnan Smith’s village shop, cook up a storm, and feast together in the dining room that peeks out onto backyard blooms.
After dinner, curl up in the cosy armchairs beside the woodburner, a book in one hand and a glass of wine in the other, before retreating to the sumptuous bedrooms designed for lazy lie-ins.
The real bonus is the enclosed and mature garden, bursting with fluorescence and offering hedgerow windows which look out towards rolling pastures. An outside space that provides a heavenly taste of The Good Life, Summercourt’s eden comes complete with garden seating and gas bbq, for hours of idling in the golden Cornish sunshine.
Nearby, Mawnan Smith’s rural footpaths and well-loved Awna coffee shop present a day of epic adventure and indulgent rewards. The promise of hot drinks and tasty treats to refuel after a bracing stroll to the coast, is the icing on the cake.
Step into the gentle tempo of south Cornwall at Summercourt, a retreat designed with adventurous days and tranquil nights in mind.

Budding stand up paddleboarders , kayakers, and those looking for little coves and beaches away from the masses will be in their element here. For those seeking to explore the magical and well-talked about subtropical gardens of south Cornwall, Glendurgan and Trebah Garden are within easy reach.

Further afield, an hour or so’s drive takes you all over – to St Ives for a spot of culture, to the rugged beaches of the Lizard and the famous North Coast for the type of surfing adventures to write home about.

An excellent bungalow for two people or two adults and two children (who can share a double bed). The steps from the lounge to outside are a little steep, especially if you have walking difficulties, but this can be overcome by using the front door, or the door from the "conservatory", all can be overcome with a little ingenuity. Well recommended. We will certainly book again. Thank you to Emily and all the girls for their support.
