Description

On the edge of the highly sought-after creekside village of Port Navas, set within private, sheltered and beautifully landscaped grounds of approaching 1 acre, bordering unspoilt woodland and backing onto farmland, a detached 3 (possibly 4) bedroom bungalow with 4-car garaging, ample additional private parking, 'stable block/studio', and sundry additional garden buildings. Situated close to the top of Trewince Lane, just a few minutes' walk from Port Navas Creek and the beautiful tree-lined sailing waters of the Helford River.

The Property

Dating, we understand, from the early 1970's, 'Portmerryn' is a detached, individual, single-storey residence, purchased by our clients in 2007, since when the property has been substantially extended and subject to an ongoing programme of updating works. Furthermore, the gardens, over this period, have been a 'labour of love', creating a quite exceptional, private, park-like setting, with far-reaching countryside views, and the sailing waters of the Helford River 'at the foot of the lane'.

Double glazed and with a modern oil fired central heating system, supplemented with under-floor heating to many rooms, 'Portmerryn' provides versatile accommodation which includes a deep entrance hall, cloakroom/WC, double aspect lounge with gas fired log-burner, recently refitted kitchen/diner, study/conservatory, fully tiled family bathroom with roll-top bath, triple aspect master bedroom opening directly onto a balcony, 'en-suite' shower room, adaptable sitting room (potential fourth bedroom) and large utility room.

Integral four-car garaging is supplemented with extensive forecourt parking, ideal for those with boats and caravans etc. A 'stable block' currently provides a studio and store, and within the beautiful grounds there are numerous useful buildings, water features and an abundance of expertly planted specimen trees and shrubs. Substantial terracing has been constructed to the side and rear of the house, a 'roadway' provides ease of access for a garden tractor etc, and existing fruit cages, kitchen garden and bantam run are ideal for those seeking a degree of self-sufficiency.

The Location

'Portmerryn' is situated in a small close of just five other properties, at the head of 'leafy' Trewince Lane, from the foot of which the head of Port Navas Creek is just a 'stone's throw' away, from where Port Navas' charming yacht club and slipway provide easy access onto the beautiful day-sailing waters of the Helford River and out onto Falmouth Bay. Helford Passage, home of The Ferry Boat Inn, is an approximate ten minute drive away, just after which are the sub-tropical gardens at Trebah and Glendurgan, and Mawnan Smith village. Constantine, with its excellent shops, church, public house, doctors surgery and junior school etc, is just two miles distant; the port of Falmouth and university campus at Tremough (Penryn) are within seven miles, and the cathedral city of Truro, the county's administrative, retailing and commercial centre is an approximate thirty minute drive away.
