THE PROPERTY

The character from this Grade II listed cottage stands out wherever one looks. Once the Village pub (The Jolly Sailor), Post Office, shop, and tea rooms, it is now a very nice home. The current owners have improved, with no expense spared, what was already a characterful property, and the care and attention has resulted in a very special home indeed. Local craftsmen have risen to the challenge set by the owners, and all rooms are worthy of a mention but the kitchen in particular is a wonderful hub of the home, well designed and a dream for most. There are four bedrooms with one currently being used as a large and luxurious fitted dressing room. Great investment has also been made with the installation of solar panels and battery storage, making the home very economical to run. Off-road parking, garaging and outbuildings plus a pretty garden, all just 100 yards from the creek! Internal viewing highly recommended. 

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! Chestnut Cottage is in a truly enviable spot, in 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.
