Port Navas, Falmouth — £2,250,000
Situated on the meandering banks of Port Navas Creek, which forms part of the Helford River — a large estuary tucked between Falmouth Bay and the Lizard Peninsula — is Foreshore: a glorious Cornish idyll that embodies what south west living is all about — views good enough to never warrant owning a TV and access down to the waters’ edge in seconds.
As you would expect of a house set in such a heavenly spot, access to water is paramount, and this property really makes the most of its incredible position with sweeping gardens that lead down to a private quay, a running mooring and ownership of part of the foreshore.
Aside from seriously enviably views, Foreshore comes with a comfortable four bedrooms, three reception rooms, private parking and a number of outbuildings.
For sale with Knight Frank. See more pictures of this property or request further details from the agent.

Padstow — £1,500,000
Located between two of Cornwall’s most renowned beaches, Porthcothan Bay and Treyarnon Bay, is Trevoyan Barn — a substantial four-bed stone barn conversion set within 2.5 acres of gardens and grounds.
The interiors are as romantic as the surrounding Seven Bays area. Thick wooden floorboards meet with vaulted ceiling and exposed beams.
As the barn is partially converted, there is further potential for development, plus planning permission for a separate four-bed detached residence within the grounds. Perfect as over-flow family accommodation or as a holiday let.

Holsworthy — £850,000
If the photos haven’t given it away, this property is all about fireplaces. From the huge fireplace in the living room with granite and lintel jambs and an original Cornish clome oven, to the dramatic bressummer beam over the wood burner in the adjacent sitting room.
16th century Leigh Manor Farmhouse has period touches to make you stop in your tracks. Ceiling beams and timber framed walls decorate many of the rooms within the property, harmoniously blending with the timelessly classic interiors.
The property is tucked away in rural corner on the outskirts of the village with a sweet front garden, leafy rear garden plus a paddock. A listed Cider House can also be found within the grounds, complete with the original cider mill and wooden press, offering plenty of potential for redevelopment.

Roseland Peninsular — £1,700,000
Down in the Roseland Peninsular — a stretch of land that lies across the water from Falmouth — is a substantial five-bed stone house set amongst 7.5 acres of rolling grounds.
Inside, the rooms are spacious and well-appointed with basement storage on the lower ground floor, two reception rooms, a study and large kitchen/breakfast room on the ground floor and five comfortable bedrooms on the first floor.
Completing this idyllic setup is a large stone barn which is currently used as a games/entertaining space, but could provide wonderful ancillary accommodation with all the right planning. Another barn at the entrance of the property is big enough for vehicle and boat storage.
