The landscaped gardens are situated on the southerly side of the property and slope towards the creek itself, arranged as a series of lawned and planted terraces. The terrace runs the width of the house, while a workshop adjacent to the garage has a chain winch to store a boat.
Port Navas is a picturesque village in Cornwall six miles from Falmouth, which boasts its own village hall, yacht club with restaurant, while Constantine and Mawnan Smith provide a very good range of shops and amenities. The Helford River was immortalised by Daphne Du Maurier in her novel Frenchman's Creek.
The guide price is £995,000. For further information please contact Savills on 01872 243 200 or visit www.savills.co.uk.
