Manaccan | Lizard Peninsula

A spacious 3-bedroom waterside cottage with elevated gardens providing spectacular views across Gillan Creek.

Mennavean is situated in a wonderful position at the head of the beautiful Gillan Creek, just outside the charming village of Manaccan. The property itself occupies a waterside location, affording idyllic views from nearly every room. Downstairs, the kitchen is comfortably sized and offers eye-level views across the creek. Leading from this is a very generously sized sitting/dining room, with a feature inglenook fireplace, wood-burner stove and slate flooring adding plenty of character. On this level, there is a further reception room, also with creek views, along with a family bathroom and WC adjacent to the kitchen. Upstairs, the two guest bedrooms are well-proportioned and both benefit from water views. The master bedroom en suite is designed to provide wonderful views across Gillan Creek from nearly every angle.

The outside of the property is particularly noteworthy, as it truly maximises its stunning position. There is a good-sized courtyard directly adjacent to the property, as well as a large elevated garden space to the rear, which further enhances the waterside location and provides another lovely spot to sit, barbecue, and soak up the sun while enjoying the views. Directly by the water, Mennavean also benefits from a private quay and slipway, along with a well-sized lawned area. Adjacent to this is an off-road parking space large enough for two cars, and there is also a double garage, outside storage area and further hard standing for a car or boat.
