The Property
A mile from Port Navas is Calamansack, a hamlet of cottages down a private lane beside the broad Helford River, looking over it and Frenchman’s Creek to wooded hillsides and fields. Lots of birds (swans, curlews, buzzards, herons and egrets), animals (foxes, badgers). Constantine, 3½ miles. We let two cottages here, sharing two inshore moorings and one offshore mooring. An infinitely peaceful scene, excellent for birdwatchers Creek Cottage is semi-detached, in a wonderful position with uninterrupted views. Paved courtyard (picnic table, barbecue, flowers, herbs); steep steps up to tiny 'hideaway' garden with seat (river/boating views). In front, a lane leads to the shore with quiet, sheltered picnic spots beneath trees, and a slipway where small boats can be launched. The cottage has been enlarged and updated. Living room with inglenook (woodburner), beams, TV/DVD, light with two windows (wonderful river views to Frenchman's Creek). Kitchen/dining room (dishwasher, microwave, fridge-freezer, electric oven/induction hob). Utility area (washing machine, tumble drier) with side door. Shower-room (suite). Steep narrow stairs (stairgate) up to three bedrooms - a double (5' bed) with dressing/cot room and en suite shower-room (suite), and two twin with 2'6" beds (one zip-linkable to 5' double); bathroom (suite, shower over bath plus hand-shower). A comfortable family home.
