Gweek is a small village located at the head of the Helford river and its extensive creek system within an area of outstanding natural beauty. The village has a pub, village shop with post office, a boat yard with café and is also the home to the well known Cornish Seal Sanctuary. Gweek is set amongst the extensive woods at the head of the Helford river and only a short drive to Helford Village and sailing club. For generations, the Helford and its surroundings has been considered to be Cornwall’s most timeless and idyllic rivers thanks to its micro climate and beautiful sheltered valleys. The picturesque beach at Gunwalloe is within easy reach and just a little further on is Porthleven, a vibrant fishing port with good restaurants, pubs, cafes and galleries. The larger town of Helston is within easy reach and provides a good range of shops, local banking, schools, sporting facilities and a cinema. THE PROPERTY Little Australia feels like a well-kept secret with no visible neighbours and surrounded by woodland. The main house and annexe sit within their own ANNEXE well managed grounds and private woodland of approximately two acres with a further five acres split into three fields / paddocks to the north of the property. There is a very attractive and well- fitted separate office at the bottom of the drive and two barns behind with a separate access. The larger of the barns has planning permission to convert into two one-bedroom holiday lets and the main house also has planning consent granted for a two storey extension to the front.
