Off the parking area is a wooden gate giving private access to the Shieling, with a separate gate leading to the rear garden.

To the rear of the house, which faces south-west, is a raised deck accessed from the house or, via steps up from the garden, with recessed seating and a storage area beneath. The Shieling has its own gravelled patio area. Slate steps lead down from the patio to the garden. The lawn slopes gently down from the house with gravel and bark pathways leading to different areas. There are two giant Gunnera plantations, one in the centre of a large pond. The garden contains many mature trees and shrubs to include Giant Ferns, Cordylines, Bamboo, Rhododendrons, Camelia’s and tall grasses. In front of the pond is the garden Chalet/Office.

Location

The property sits in an elevated position just above the village of Port Navas, surrounded by its own woodland and mature shrubbery on a three-and-a-half-acre plot with a stream flowing at the bottom of the garden. The picturesque village of Port Navas is centred around a handful of stone cottages at the head of the creek, with the Yacht Club with bar and restaurant being the focal point and, together with the oyster house quay, the hub of the annual Port Navas Regatta. Port Navas Creek is a tributary of the Helford River, one of the most beautiful and unspoilt rivers in Cornwall, with its deep sheltered valleys, ancient oak forests and hidden creeks that cut inland along this sheltered part of the south Cornish coast. There are still many small quays on the river and a pedestrian ferry links Helford Passage on the north side of the river and the charming village of Helford on the south side. The safety and seclusion of the Helford River has much to do with its situation within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, with large parts of the coast owned and protected by the National Trust. The river is home to many deep-water moorings, the Helford River Sailing Club, the thatched Shipwright Arms pub on the south side of the river and the Ferry Boat Inn on the north side. As well as having fine coastal walks and creek paths, the area also has a climate suitable for many subtropical plants such as those in the nearby gardens of Glendurgan and Trebah. The nearby villages of Constantine and Mawnan Smith provide a good range of shops and amenities, as well as primary schools, whilst the harbour town of Falmouth with its yacht marinas, Maritime Museum and a wealth of cultural, gastronomic and entertainment facilities is close to hand.Truro, the administrative centre of Cornwall, is just over 13 miles away and offers good schooling and a mainline rail link to London Paddington. Cornwall Airport has daily return flights to London as well as other domestic and international destinations.
