IN THE OWNER'S WORDS "Living in Port Navas has a nice vibe! There are private moorings for yachts and motor cruisers, and just a 10 min walk away is the very active private yacht club. The restaurant here serves excellent food and has an amazing outside space overlooking the water. Our village hall has many activities, Arts and Crafts fairs and our Regatta is an amazing yearly event which brings visitors from far and wide. From Port Navas you can pop over to other yacht clubs and pubs on the water including the The Ship Wright Arms, The Ferry boat Inn and the Helford Yacht club where you can dine on the balcony overlooking the water. The Trengilly Wartha pub is just 10 mins away and this is open all year round and has an old world charm. Many events are held here, including a Halloween Evening, Mother�s Day, and the New Year event with live music. Constanine has two shops, a public house, a farmers market and music events in the Constantine Hall. All in all a very unique area." PROPERTY A very nicely proportioned family home in a most desirable waterside village. Offering a stunning kitchen, very large garden and within walking distance of the sailing club, this is a home worthy of consideration. Sitting on a plot of approximately 1/2 an acre, the home has been considerably extended by the current owners. The renovations created a superb kitchen with a master bedroom above as well as adding a double garage. An attractive glazed entrance porch leads from the driveway and front patio into the house. The large kitchen is a chef's delight! A central island provides plenty of preparation space with a breakfast bar at one end and a prep sink at the other. Shaker style, sage green coloured cabinets are topped with a granite worktop. There is a built in dishwasher, plenty of storage and space for a full sized range and American Fridge/Freezer. Bi-fold doors open out to a raised deck overlooking the garden - ideal for al-fresco dining. To one side of the kitchen is a practical utility room with additional cabinetry, worktop area and sink. A door leads from here into the garage. To the other side of the kitchen, French doors lead to a large (26'x10' )conservatory, itself overlooking the rear garden. This beautiful space makes a lovely dining area. From here there is a sitting room to the front of the house. A cosy woodburner on a slate hearth has pride of place and there are French doors opening to a private front patio area. An adjoining space extends the living area and can be used as a snug or reading area. Finally, there is a good sized office, ideal for those who work from home and a cloak room. Upstairs, there are three double bedrooms, two with built in wardrobes, and a family bathroom. The current owners have added a very large master bedroom with en-suite. This is a super room with a vaulted ceiling with exposed beams and a balcony overlooking the garden. This addition has extended the house dramatically and created a large four bedroom family home. The mature gardens are an absolute pleasure; full of camellias, azaleas and magnolias and a productive vegetable garden with a greenhouse and garden sheds. A stream at the end of the garden runs down to the Helford River and there is a stone firepit for evenings spent listening to the small waterfall and enjoying the serenity of a rural garden. A raised deck and patio area just outside the house offer good views over the garden, the wooded valley beyond farmland in the distance. To the front of the house a gated driveway leads past a private patio area to the double garage (with power and lighting) as well as an additional parking area - ideal for small boat storage. The house is set back from the road and offers good privacy. This is a superb home and should certainly be viewed to fully appreciate all it has to offer.
