A stunning, unique waterside property with private quay and tidal mooring.
Description
Created in 2011, Bosulla is a classic example of how well, modern reverse level living can be designed to maximise a property’s location, aspect and views. Set high above the water in this exclusive and private corner of Cornwall, Bosulla has north and south facing aspects, ensuring plenty of light throughout the day.
The oriental inspired roof lanterns create an abundance of natural light, whilst enhancing a feeling of space throughout the property. The accommodation extends to over 2,875 sq ft, set over three floors. The river - facing aspect provides access to terraces on two levels, offering indoor/outdoor living spaces.
At ground floor level there is an entrance hall, which includes a WC & shower room and built-in cupboards. The hall leads on to the kitchen from where there is access to the open plan dining area and living space. Bi-folding doors open onto a spectacular terrace overlooking the creek. Within the living area there is a rotating wood burning stove and a staircase leading to the mezzanine.
The state of the art kitchen offers a large island unit, a range of integral appliances including a Mercury range, a larder and adjoining utility room. From the kitchen, there is a door to the side of the building and French doors opening onto a south facing terrace.
There is a principal bedroom suite and guest bedroom on this floor, both of which have French doors opening onto the terrace overlooking the gardens. From the reception hall, there is a door to the integral double garage.
Steps lead from the kitchen to the lower ground floor, which has a studio/fifth bedroom and two further bedrooms, both of which are en suite and have doors opening onto the terraces.
The grounds extend in all to just under one 1 acre. At the front of the property is a drive leading down to the main entrance and integral double garage. There is additional parking for three to four cars with turning space. Steps lead up to an area of garden mainly laid to lawn with some stone walling and tiered planting that continues around the side of the property where there is an area of kitchen garden and log store.
At the rear of the house there are terraces on two levels that run the full width of the property with steps down to a further terrace leading to a lovely woodland walk that meanders down to the private quay, the foreshore and a tidal mooring. The quay itself is a magical spot to sit and enjoy the fabulous atmosphere of the river.
Alongside the garage are steps to the lower terrace and access to the garden shed.
Location
Bosulla is located on one of Cornwall’s most desirable private roads overlooking Porth Navas Creek. The creek, part of the Helford river, is in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Historically renowned as a haven for pirates, it has inspired many writers, famously Daphne du Maurier's novel 'Frenchman’s Creek'.
This part of Cornwall is known for its mild climate, well suited for many sub-tropical gardens such as those at nearby Glendurgan and Trebah. The Ferryboat Inn at Helford Passage is only one mile away. Here you will find the (foot passenger) ferry link to Helford village where there is the thatched Shipwrights Arms pub.
The charming village of Port Navas, just over one mile away, is at the head of the creek and has an active village community including a village hall and yacht club with bar / restaurant. The well regarded Budock Vean Hotel, near the top of the lane, has a golf course, tennis courts, spa and swimming pool and the nearby villages of Constantine and Mawnan Smith provide a good range of shops and amenities.
The university and harbour town of Falmouth is about 7 miles away and offers a more comprehensive range of shops, restaurants and cinemas along with a rail service to Truro where there is a mainline rail link to London and other destinations. Newquay Airport is approx 45 mins drive.
