A cosy semi detached
granite cottage, once part of a
19th century working mill, in the hamlet of
Trewardreva, just a mile from the pretty village of
Constantine close to the
Helford River and about 6 miles from both
Helston and
Falmouth. Peacefully situated with
wide views over the owners
6 acres of fields and woodland, the property is approached by a winding country lane and communal
gated driveway to the
spacious parking area with room for a car and boat trailer. Entered through a useful outer lobby which once contained the
original mill wheel, this area now provides space for coats,
laundry facilities, and a
timber built sauna room. From the lobby, one step leads up to the covered front door which opens directly into the
open-plan living room with a laminate wood floor and a painted beamed ceiling. The ground floor accommodation comprises a neat
galley kitchen,
dining suite, a
comfortable leather settee facing the
wood burning stove and double glazed sliding doors opening to a
private outdoor sitting area with
patio furniture. Carpeted stairs lead up to the first floor landing, a
fully tiled bathroom W.C. with hand basin,
bidet and
shower over the bath and a
spacious bedroom with a
double bed and
tranquil views over the surrounding countryside. The owner offers shared use of her
outdoor hot tub free of charge, and a
sauna room is available on request by prior arrangement for a small charge. Visitors are encouraged to make use of the
adjoining paddock particularly for exercising dogs and there is undercover storage for boats, bicycles and beach gear in one of the several barns. Freezer space can also be made available. Constantine village is 1 mile by road or a
20 minute walk through the woods and has a pub serving food, village store, post office and off licence. The market town of
Helston has a good selection of shops as does the port of
Falmouth which is home to the
National Maritime Museum and has a foot ferry to
St Mawes. There are a
wealth of public footpaths in the area including lakeside walks at
Argal Reservoir 4 miles away. Port Navas Yacht Club and slipway is 3 miles,
Glendurgan and
Trebah Gardens are just a short drive, and there is
golf and
fishing available locally. There is also
easy access to the excellent beaches of the Lizard Peninsula and around Falmouth Bay.
