2 bed detached bungalow for sale

Gillan, Manaccan, Helston TR12

Nicely positioned along a private lane, moments from the delightful Flushing Cove and renowned sailing waters of the Helford River, is this spacious detached two bedroom bungalow with gardens and parking to both front and rear.

Carn Killick is an individual and generously proportioned two bedroom detached residence situated in the sheltered and sought after creekside hamlet of Gillan.

The property enjoys a lovely outlook to fields and countryside beyond neighbouring properties, with sea glimpses towards Falmouth Bay. The sitting room is light and welcoming with a decorative fireplace providing a nice focal point for the room, whilst a sliding patio door invites the outdoors in and affords access to the rear sun patio. An archway opens into the dining room, whilst the fitted kitchen is well equipped and has a useful breakfast bar arrangement. The bathroom is generously sized with a well appointed fitted suite, whilst both bedrooms are comfortable doubles, with one having a large built in wardrobe.

The gardens are well tended with raised beds housing mature shrubs and plants and lawned areas. Both the rear sun patio & sun porch enjoy a southerly aspect and are ideal places in which to sit and relax throughout the year.

Conveniently accessed along private lanes to both front and rear, there is off road parking for a number of vehicles and a garage.

Potential buyers who enjoy an outdoor lifestyle, swimming, sailing, paddle boarding or other nautical activities will find the location of the residence, moments from the beautiful tidal waters of Gillan Creek and the delightful Helford River to be thoroughly agreeable.

The accommodation in brief comprises an entrance hallway, kitchen, lounge, dining room, bathroom, sun porch and two bedrooms. The property benefits from double glazing and electric heating.

The Helford River and surrounding countryside is designated as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty which is clearly evident when visiting the unspoilt area of the thatch and slate roof cottages blending with the lush countryside offering tremendous tranquility and shelter south of the main river. For sailing enthusiasts the area offers excellent faciliites and opportunities of exploring the many beautiful wooded creeks including Frenchman's Creek as immortalised by Daphne Du Maurier in her novel of the same. The popular and very active sailing club organises regular racing during the season and is also a lively social venue. There is a passenger ferry to Helford Passage on the north bank of the river operating during the summer months.

Gillan Cove is situated on the south of the Helford and is a sheltered tidal inlet with the cove playing host to just a small handful of individually designed properties which are highly sought after if and when they come to market. Shopping facilities are in the nearby village of St Keverne which lies approximately three miles away and, we are advised, the hamlet benefits from a daily bus service to Helston.

Manaccan village, also close by. Has a primary school, a community owned thatched public house, Methodist chapel, 13th Century church and playing fields.

More extensive amenities can be found in the market town of Helston, some eleven miles distant, including schooling, national stores, leisure centre with indoor heated pool and cinema to name but a few.
