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.

The Property - In our client's family's ownership since approximately 1950, the availability of 'Trewartha' provides an increasingly rare opportunity to purchase a property with either lends itself to little further improvement or, alternatively, major redevelopment, subject of course to all necessary consents.

The situation is exceptional; the property stands at the end of its own long driveway, surrounded by wooded grounds which extend to approximately 7.5 acres or thereabouts. A picturesque fast-flowing stream runs the length of the eastern boundary, with the ancient wooded grounds protected by a National Trust covenant to protect 'the natural aspect and condition of the land'.

An opportunity therefore to secure a wooded setting in this, one of the prettiest areas in the sought-after North Helford River Area.
