Occupying an exquisite, sheltered and highly sequestered setting amidst protected wooded grounds of approximately 7.5 acres, a detached, individual, architect-designed bungalow, built for the existing owner's family, now to be sold for the first time in approximately 70 years. The existing 2 bedroom accommodation is now in need of general updating and no doubt some prospective purchasers will relish the opportunity to develop a more substantial home in this, one of the prettiest, small, creekside hamlets on the northern shoreline of the beautiful Helford River, just 5 minutes' drive from the well served village of Constantine.
