About
Bracken Cleft is a substantial detached four-bedroom bungalow, constructed in 1991 and occupying an idyllic rural position on the edge of the highly sought-after coastal village of Mawgan Porth.
Set within approximately seven acres of enchanting woodland, open pasture, mature gardens and beautifully landscaped grounds, the property enjoys an exceptional degree of peace, privacy and seclusion.
The diverse landscape is rich with mature trees, ornamental shrubs, wildflowers and abundant wildlife, creating a truly magical setting that is rarely found so close to the North Cornish coast.

There are four genuine double bedrooms, including a principal bedroom with an en-suite shower room, together with a spacious family bathroom featuring a corner bath and separate shower.

Outside, the property is equally impressive. A detached double garage is complemented by extensive parking, comfortably accommodating numerous vehicles, boats, motorhomes or trailers.

Further features include a substantial greenhouse together with a range of useful outbuildings offering excellent storage, workshop space or exciting potential for a variety of alternative uses.
Despite its remarkable sense of seclusion, Bracken Cleft lies just moments from the golden sands of Mawgan Porth, the spectacular South West Coast Path and the village's popular cafés, restaurants and everyday amenities.
It represents an exceptionally rare opportunity to acquire a private country home with extensive grounds in one of North Cornwall's most desirable coastal locations, offering the perfect balance of rural tranquillity and coastal convenience.
