THE PROPERTY
This charming 1800s semi detached Cottage is spectacularly well positioned, facing south west, overlooking and with frontage to Port Navas Creek. This is the first time Firleigh has been sold for decades and it excites us for its wonderful position, rarity and the opportunity it presents. Requiring modernisation, the cottage has a cobbled courtyard and sheltered garden beside, with steps to the workshop and overgrown garden area behind. The sale includes the detached garage/boathouse with creek view workshop above. Across the lane that leads to Port Navas Yacht Club, is a generous parking space, and considerable, usable frontage to the creek. There is a private Quay with outhaul mooring and separate, granite steps leading down to the water.
THE LOCATION
Port Navas is a very special place indeed. Together with Gillan Creek, Port Navas is the most seaward of the seven tributaries of the Helford River. This delightfully unspoilt village comprises a handful of stone cottages at the head of the creek, beside its own village hall and yacht club, with pontoon berths and a superb restaurant where booking is essential and competitive. A small number of individual homes, some dating back centuries to the more recent, nestle along the northern and southern shores of the river! Firleigh is one of those few stone cottages in a truly enviable spot at the waters' edge. It is at the heart of the village and community in an incredibly absorbing and uplifting position where so many of the village delights are on one’s doorstep. Port Navas lies between the popular villages of Mawnan Smith and Constantine, a short drive away, each providing a good range of facilities including local shops, primary school, church and pub. Falmouth's vibrant and thriving harbour town is close at hand with its comprehensive commercial and leisure facilities, whilst the cathedral city of Truro is the administrative centre of Cornwall and offers good private schooling and a mainline rail link to London Paddington. Not only is the Helford River designated an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty but also a site of Special Scientific Interest and Special Area of Conservation where, uniquely, major environmental groups and organisations including the National Trust come together to protect, monitor and develop the river and its surroundings. The Helford estuary is home to many deep water moorings, Helford River Sailing Club, the thatched Shipwrights pub on the south side of the river and the Ferry Boat Inn sits beside a blissful sandy beach on the north side. This is an area particularly favoured by the sailing fraternity with excellent facilities on the Helford River and within Falmouth Bay. Communications to Cornwall have vastly improved over recent years, with the A30 dual carriageway giving fast access to the M5 motorway at Exeter. Newquay airport provides regular shuttle flights to London Gatwick, Stanstead and many other European destinations.
