Enchanting Detached Lodge with Additional Freehold Land in the Heart of Port Navas

Originally built as the gate lodge to the distinguished Trewince House, this enchanting detached one-bedroom residence presents a rare opportunity to own a truly unique home in one of Cornwall's most sought-after waterside settings. Beautifully extended over the years, the lodge effortlessly combines period charm with comfortable modern living, while offering exciting scope for future enhancement.

Steeped in local history, the property has enjoyed a successful past as both a cherished permanent residence and a highly regarded holiday let. In the 1990s, it was owned by the proprietors of the charming Port Navas Yacht Club and benefited from excellent occupancy levels, demonstrating the enduring appeal of this idyllic riverside setting. With its unique character, peaceful surroundings and exceptional location, the lodge continues to offer exciting potential as a full-time home, an exclusive Cornish retreat or a proven income-generating holiday investment.

Set within the magnificent grounds of Trewince House, the setting is simply magical. The beautifully maintained communal gardens feature winding pathways beneath mature specimen trees, colourful seasonal planting and a tranquil dry Japanese garden, creating an atmosphere reminiscent of a secret woodland estate. Every season brings new colours and textures, making the gardens a joy to explore throughout the year.

Inside, the accommodation is warm, inviting and full of character. The dual-aspect sitting room is flooded with natural light and showcases impressive exposed a-frame beams, creating a wonderful feeling of height and individuality. Interestingly, the lodge was originally conceived with the possibility of a dramatic double-height living space, presenting an exciting opportunity for future owners to explore the original architectural vision, subject to any necessary consents.

The kitchen is thoughtfully fitted with a range of base and wall units, an electric oven and hob, integrated fridge, stainless-steel sink and space for a washing machine, while a separate cloakroom provides additional convenience.

The bright dual-aspect bedroom enjoys peaceful views across the surrounding greenery and benefits from electric heating together with a well-appointed en-suite bathroom comprising a bath with shower attachment, vanity wash basin and WC.

A particularly valuable feature is the inclusion of an adjoining area of additional freehold land. Although now naturally established, this delightful garden was once a productive fruit and vegetable plot, complete with raised growing beds and a selection of young fruit trees, offering a wonderful opportunity for those wishing to embrace a sustainable lifestyle or simply enjoy gardening. Timber sheds provide excellent storage, while purpose-built racking behind one of the sheds was thoughtfully installed with canoe storage in mind, perfectly complementing the property's exceptional waterside location. The garden also enjoys its own private access directly onto Trewince Lane, providing excellent convenience and flexibility.

Perfectly positioned in the picturesque riverside village of Port Navas, the property enjoys an enviable location overlooking the tranquil Helford River within the **Cornwall National Landscape** (formerly the Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty). The village is centred around the delightful Port Navas Yacht Club, a much-loved destination with an enviable position on the creek, renowned for its welcoming atmosphere, excellent food and sailing community. The proximity to the creek, the yacht club, the Helford River and the spectacular Lizard Peninsula makes this an exceptional base for those who enjoy sailing, kayaking, paddleboarding, wild swimming or simply embracing Cornwall's renowned waterside lifestyle.

The nearby villages of Constantine and Mawnan Smith provide excellent everyday amenities, while popular local destinations including Trengilly Wartha Inn and The Red Lion at Mawnan Smith are both within easy reach. The renowned Budock Vean Hotel offers fine dining, golf, spa facilities and river activities, while Trebah and Glendurgan Gardens rank amongst Cornwall's finest subtropical gardens. The thriving harbour town of Falmouth lies only a short drive away, offering an outstanding selection of independent shops, restaurants, cafés, galleries and year-round cultural events.

Properties of this nature rarely become available. Combining fascinating heritage, enchanting communal gardens, additional freehold land, proven holiday letting credentials and exceptional lifestyle appeal, this charming detached lodge represents far more than simply a home. Whether you are searching for a peaceful permanent residence, a luxurious Cornish escape or a distinctive investment, this enchanting property offers a rare opportunity to own a truly magical piece of Cornwall in one of its most treasured riverside locations.
