FOR SALE FREEHOLD

The availability of Treetops represents an exceptional opportunity to acquire a fantastic site of 1.6 acres established site enjoying privacy and with superb views. The planning permission which has been obtained through CSA Architects provides for the demolition of the existing two bedroomed chalet bungalow which has been in our client’s ownership since 1943.

The location of the site is quite remarkable as it enjoys views in a south easterly direct over Port Navas creek towards the Helford River and countryside beyond in addition to beautiful views over the expansive slightly sloping lawned gardens. The elevated position not only maximises the views but also allows long afternoon and evening sunshine. The setting is remarkably tranquil, well above the road through the village and it is our experience that there have been an extremely limited number of similar properties offered for sale in many years, managing to combine privacy with creek view and delightful outlook across protected wooded countryside.

The proposed plans are included within these sales particulars and provide for a brand new detached individual architect designed house which it is envisaged will use high quality natural materials and has been designed in such a way to maximise light but of course the orientation over the creek.

The house is to sit centrally within the site and to comprise a large reception hall with separate wc off. There will be a large triple aspect sitting room opening onto a broad south and east facing wraparound terrace and with an open-plan kitchen and dining room, both of which are to take advantage of the view and have direct access onto the patio. There is to be a separate utility room, shower room and integral double garage. The first floor is to comprise a master bedroom with en-suite and separate dressing room together with superb views and balcony. There are to be three further bedrooms, each with en- suite facilities.

In all, this is an exceedingly rare opportunity in an immensely sought after location overlooking Port Navas creek and surrounding countryside, enjoying a remarkable degree of peace and tranquillity yet close to the village amenities.

Treetops has in recent years been used for holiday letting and as a perfect base for those wishing to enjoy family holidays close to the Helford River.
