Nestled on the serene outskirts of St Agnes, within an easy stroll to the village and a longer leisurely walk to the golden sands at Chapel Porth and Trevaunance Cove, Lanesend is a beautifully refurbished detached dormer bungalow that exudes understated luxury and coastal charm.

Bi-fold doors seamlessly connect the interior to a sun-drenched patio, perfect for alfresco dining and elegant outdoor entertaining. St Agnes, a traditional and unspoilt village, offers a delightful array of artisan shops including a greengrocer, baker, and butcher — transforming everyday errands into a charming experience.A vibrant arts scene, along with a selection of acclaimed cafés, restaurants, and pubs, adds to the village’s allure. Among them, The Peterville Inn, crowned Visit England’s Pub of the Year 2024, and The Driftwood Spars at Trevaunance Cove, home to an award-winning microbrewery, have earned their place among The Times’ top 50 pubs in the UK.
