This gorgeous two-storey house overlooking the Helford River sets the scene for a blissfully calm getaway, giving families, friends and their loyal dog a wonderful base for discovering this enchanting stretch of the Cornish coast. Recently renovated yet beautifully timeless, this inviting home blends chic finishing touches with classic character.
From the parking area, descend 12 stone steps to reach the front door, then into to the entrance hall. From here, head into the spacious, light-filled kitchen/diner to gather for leisurely meals around the table and recount the day's escapades. Continue to the living room, where comfortable armchairs invite you to curl up with a book, warm your feet beside the open fire, or sip tea while your canine companion naps contentedly nearby. Patio doors open straight onto the garden terrace so Rover can come and go as he pleases, while two steps lead down to the stylish garden room. Here, plush sofas and a Sky Glass TV with entertainment package create a comfortable hub for evening relaxation, with a window seat for soaking up river views. Upstairs, four bedrooms await: three doubles – one with its own en-suite shower room – and one charming single. A family bathroom with a walk-in shower and underfloor heating completes the upstairs layout. Outside, a generous wrap-around garden gives both children and four-pawed adventurers plenty of space to roam. The suntrap patio, with table and chairs, is the spot for morning coffee, afternoon reading or a cool drink after a long walk. Gravelled private parking is provided for three cars.
Surrounded by peaceful countryside, 300 metres from Helford, you and your furry chum can enjoy slow, scenic days pottering along the creek, watching little ones crab from the jetty, or taking an early-morning dip. Trebah’s dog-friendly botanical gardens and sandy beach lie 14 miles away, while the maritime hub of Falmouth – less than 20 miles – beckons with Pendennis Castle and plenty of food spots that welcome inquisitive snouts. If your four-pawed explorer loves a stomp, the trails and cliff paths of the Lizard Peninsula (11.5 miles) promise exhilarating walks with spectacular views.
