A set of stone and balustrade steps descend from the terrace down toward the village and creek.

Location The Helford River is one of the most beautiful and unspoilt rivers in Cornwall, with its deep sheltered valleys, ancient oak forests and hidden creeks that cut inland along this sheltered part of the South Cornwall coast. The safety and seclusion of the Helford River has much to do with its situation within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The Helford was renowned as a haven for pirates and has inspired many writers, notably Daphne du Maurier and her novel, Frenchman‘s Creek.

. Today, the Helford River continues to offer wonderful boating and a second natural harbour from which to explore the coast, much of which is owned and protected by the National Trust. As well as having fine coastal walks and creek paths, the area also has a climate suitable for many sub-tropical plants as grown in nearby gardens of Glendurgan and Trebah Gardens.

. There are many sailing facilities along the Helford River, Falmouth Bay and Fal Estuary. These are some of the finest day sailing waters in the UK with excellent yachting facilities including the nearby Helford River Sailing Club and many deep water moorings in the river. As well as the busy sailing club, the idyllic village of Helford provides a local shop as well as the thatched Shipwrights Arms with its wonderful waterside terraces. During the summer months there is a small passenger ferry to the north side of the river. The charming market town of Helston lies about 10 miles away, providing a local hospital, schooling, supermarkets, a sports centre and a full range of shopping facilities.

Services The property has mains water, electricity and drainage. Council Tax Band F. The house and office have separate broadband connections and phone numbers (not tested)

Agent Note: There is current Planning Permission for a loft conversion which will provide a further bedroom, shower room and study.
