2 bed Flat For Sale £245,000
Situated at the end of a tree-lined private road, close to unspoilt countryside and within just a few minutes walk of the centre of Port Navas village, the head of the creek and beautiful sailing waters of the Helford River, a top floor 2 bedroom apartment, with superb elevated views over the stunning and well tended gardens of this former Edwardian country house, also benefiting from residents parking and a share of the freehold.
The Property
Enjoying elevated views over the beautiful gardens and surrounding unspoilt countryside, a two bedroom apartment within a former manor house, positioned within a fifteen minute walk of Port Navas Creek and the picturesque Helford River.
Built, we understand, in 1903 as a private manor, Trewince House has latterly served as a hotel, before being converted into apartments. Seven leaseholders now share and maintain the house and grounds and enjoy the superb quiet setting and elevated aspect over the grounds and beyond to surrounding countryside.
The gardens are a superb feature of the property and can be enjoyed by all residents. Number 5 benefits from a particularly elevated position within the building and, consequently, overlooks much of the varied gardens which include an upper lawned area, Japanese garden at mid level, and connecting pathways to the lower patios and lightly wooded areas. A sweeping driveway provides off-road parking which we believe is loosely allocated.
Inside the building and from the driveway parking, a shared entrance and stairwell leads to just two apartments on the upper floor, one of which is Number 5. Inside the flat itself, a hallway with internal glazing looks into the recently updated kitchen with retro tiling and space for breakfast table, if required. The spacious living/dining room features a large bay window to the south-westerly side which also enjoys the views. The bathroom has been recently and tastefully reappointed with a white suite and the bedrooms are positioned on the opposite (front side of the building) with the master being particularly spacious.
The Location
Trewince House stands towards the head of Trewince Lane, within around three acres of garden on the south-western side, and within a ten/fifteen minute walk to the centre of this highly sought-after creekside village. Within the village, there is an active sailing club with ready access provided onto some of the country's most beautiful and sheltered day-sailing waters.
The well served villages of Mawnan Smith and Constantine are both within a few minutes drive, providing many day-to-day amenities including primary schooling. The port of Falmouth is approximately ten miles distant, and the cathedral city of Truro is an approximate thirty minute drive away.
