The safety and seclusion of the Helford River has much to do with its situation within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The Helford was renowned as a haven for pirates and has inspired many writers, notably Daphne du Maurier and her novel, Frenchman s Creek.

Today, the Helford River continues to offer wonderful boating and a second natural harbour from which to explore the coast, much of which is owned and protected by the National Trust.

3 Today, the Helford River continues to offer wonderful boating and a second natural harbour from which to explore the coast, much of which is owned and protected by the National Trust. As well as having fine coastal walks and creek paths, the area also has a climate suitable for many sub-tropical plants as the nearby gardens of Glendurgan and Trebah Gardens show. The sailing facilities here are second to none; the Helford River, Falmouth Bay and Fal Estuary offer some of the finest day sailing waters in the UK with excellent yachting facilities including the nearby Helford River Sailing Club and many deep water moorings in the river. As well as the busy sailing club, the idyllic village of Helford provides a local shop as well as the thatched Shipwrights Arms with its wonderful waterside terraces. During the summer months there is a small passenger ferry to the north side of the river. There is an ancient Norman church and primary school in the nearby village of Manaccan. The charming market town of Helston lies about 10 miles away, providing a local hospital, schooling, supermarkets, a sports centre and a full range of shopping facilities. RNAS Culdrose offers facilities for private aircraft. The Property Hotch Potch is an exquisite example of a traditional Cornish cottage, finished in thatch and set in a superbly elevated position overlooking the village and river beyond. The accommodation is well appointed throughout and on the ground floor includes a Richard Winfrey kitchen opening into a large central living room, which in turn flows into a bespoke dining conservatory overlooking the river. A fabulous stone and slate sun terrace extends across the front of the house. On the first floor there are three bedrooms and a beautiful slate-tiled shower room. All the bedrooms and reception rooms enjoy wonderful views out over the village and river. A set of stone steps descend from the terrace down toward the village and creek, and at the rear of the house a pair of gates provide access to the private parking area. A detached studio/ office building lies at the rear of the house. Planning Note The property benefits from planning permission for a loft conversion to provide a further bedroom, shower room and study. Services Mains water, drainage and electricity.
