The Cottage, Helford

Description

The Cottage is an unusually light, refurbished stone cottage tucked away in a quiet, secluded corner of the village, yet only yards from the water and the excellent Shipwrights Arms pub.  It's just a 3-minutes walk to Helford point and the ferry.

From the charming enclosed patio, the front door opens into the large living/dining room featuring a stone fireplace with wood-burner, oak floor, dark blue comfy chairs and fluffy rugs. There is a flatscreen TV, Blu-ray DVD player and music system and Apple TV.

The bespoke kitchen in blue and ivory is beyond the dining area, and includes a microwave and dishwasher, a slate floor with under-floor heating, and a breakfast bar overlooking the river. There is a bunkroom with full-size 2’6” beds next to the sitting room, a good children’s hideout.

Upstairs is a lovely duck-egg blue family bathroom with bath and overhead shower, double bedroom with beautiful river views, and a spacious master bedroom with luxurious 6’ bed. There is also a quiet sitting room adjoining the master bedroom on this floor, with a comfy double sofa bed.

Outside there is a sheltered sun trap patio running the length of the property with garden furniture, and a useful separate utility room housing the central heating boiler, a freezer, washer, dryer, and a second loo and basin. There is an outside hot water shower on the patio, ideal for sandy wet-suits and kids. There is private parking for two cars 50 yards beyond The Cottage.

The Cottage comes with its own all-tide mooring at Potter’s pontoon, 3-minutes walk away, available for use by guests with their own boat for an extra charge.
