Ref: LCAA1820 Ref: LCAA6527 £750,000 Carne Haven, Gillan Cove, Manaccan, Nr. Helston, Lizard Peninsula, South Cornwall FREEHOLD Offered for sale for the first time since construction in 1974. A quite extraordinary waterside setting above a little known beach and National Trust coastline, commanding stunning views across the beach, Gillan Harbour and Falmouth Bay to St Anthony Lighthouse; a sizeable detached 3 bedroomed house with driveway and generous gardens. One of only a handful of properties in this forgotten sailor’s paradise at the mouth of the Helford River, that would now benefit from interior updating. 2 Ref: LCAA6527 SUMMARY OF ACCOMMODATION Ground Floor: large reception hall, master bedroom en-suite, second double bedroom, shower room, laundry, utility/store room (potential 4th bedroom). First Floor: lounge, kitchen/dining room, conservatory opening into the garden, third double bedroom, shower room. Outside: driveway parking for several cars or boats, garage, beautiful and well stocked terraced garden beside the house with pond, greenhouse and patio facing the view. Steps up to two large elevated plateaus with exceptional views. In all, about ⅓ of an acre. DESCRIPTION Carne Haven was built by our clients in 1974 in a stunning position that has captivated them for over 40 years. The house overlooks Gillan Cove and then across Falmouth Bay to St Anthony Lighthouse at the southernmost tip of the Roseland Peninsula with the entrance to the Fal Estuary and St Mawes as well as numerous headlands along the south Cornish coastline being visible. The view is of constant boating activity both in Falmouth Bay and also in the creek where there are boat moorings. The cove is incredibly sheltered from prevailing winds and waves making it a blissful shingle beach ideal for children to play. All of this is to the backdrop of stunning surrounding woodland creating a quite unimaginable environment that is almost empty even in the height of the holiday season. Although of traditional construction with stone facing, the house is certainly not conventional as it has a reverse level layout with the reception rooms upstairs positioned to make the most of the outlook. On the ground floor is a large hall off which are two sizeable double bedrooms (the master being en-suite) a shower room, laundry and a large store room that would be easy to convert into a further bedroom. Each of the principal rooms has been 3 Ref: LCAA6527 given as many windows as possible, many of them triple aspect including the sitting room which also has a fireplace and the large kitchen/dining room’s open-plan nature was certainly ahead of its time. This space opens into a large conservatory which spills out into the garden and the upper floor is completed by a further large bedroom and shower room. The house is now dated but immediately and comfortably liveable offering a blank canvas for an incoming owner to place their own style upon it. The gardens in total extend to about ⅓ of an acre and run up the steep hillside behind the house where there are two large plateaus, one just above the house and one right at the top which has panoramic views extending up the creek. Around the house there is driveway parking for several cars or boats, a garage and well stocked smaller terraces including a lily pond and a patio ideal for alfresco dining. Part of the charm of Gillan Cove is the feeling that you are away from the hustle and bustle of towns and cities with many people in this area tending to use local shops for general needs. The nearby villages of Manaccan, Helford, St Keverne and Coverack all offer various facilities including inns and shops. Helston however, is about 11 miles away and offers a wide range of local and national shops, numerous supermarkets, a local hospital and education to college level. There are beaches and spectacular walks around the coastline of the Lizard Peninsula and by boat it is easy to explore the delights of the Helford River and Falmouth Bay. The opportunity to own a home in Gillan Cove is incredibly scarce due to there only being a few houses there at all and they mostly stay in the same ownership for decades. Anyone who knows this forgotten paradise and appreciates its charms will be very excited by the chance to purchase Carne Haven. 4 Ref: LCAA6527 THE ACCOMMODATION COMPRISES (all floor plans and dimensions are approximate) An obscured glazed door opens from the front to:- RECEPTION HALL – 20’4” reducing to 16’1” x 10’10”.

Above this is a lily pond and greenhouse with a small lawn to its front. Steps rise up to the next terrace which is paved and outside of the conservatory. This is at the same level as the main living accommodation in the house and therefore is ideally positioned to enjoy the views across the harbour and Falmouth Bay. Steps continue to rise up through the remainder of the garden with some wonderful mature trees and many shrubs. The garden becomes less cultivated as one rises but there are two large plateaus, one just above the height of the house and one right at the top where there is a further greenhouse and shed and from here there are spectacular views over the harbour entrance, out to sea and even across the creek to St Anthony-in-Meneage church. 7 Ref: LCAA6527 GENERAL INFORMATION VIEWING – Strictly by prior appointment through: Lillicrap Chilcott, Landrian House, 59-60 Lemon Street, Truro, Cornwall, TR1 2PE.
