Single‑storey coastal home with huge gardens and private golf access.
Panoramic river and sea views from principal rooms and many bedrooms
Occupying an elevated site above Helford Passage, this substantial detached bungalow delivers panoramic river and sea views from the main reception rooms and many bedrooms. The house is arranged mainly on one level, offering generous living spaces including an elegant sitting room, a full-width garden room with direct garden access, a cosy snug and a dining room that opens to a courtyard. The principal suite and two further en suite bedrooms give comfortable, private accommodation; the fourth room is currently used as a study.
Set within very large, mature gardens the plot provides excellent outdoor living and entertaining areas, extensive lawns and specimen planting that maintain privacy and a strong coastal outlook. A large double garage and sweeping parking area add practical convenience, while private access to the nearby golf course and proximity to Helford Passage and the Ferryboat Inn support an active, outdoors lifestyle.
Practical considerations are straightforward and should be factored into any purchase decision. The property is of 1950s stone construction with double glazing fitted after 2002, but wall insulation appears absent and may require attention. Heating is by oil-fired boiler and radiators; broadband speeds are reported slow. Council tax is relatively high. These points combine with the home’s scale and plot to make it most suitable for buyers seeking an upmarket, low‑rise home with scope for comfort upgrades rather than a move-in-without-work purchase.
For someone seeking an elegant, single-storey home in one of South Cornwall’s premier coastal settings, Highlands offers exceptional outlooks, generous internal proportions and mature grounds that deliver privacy and a true sense of place. The combination of riverside views, generous accommodation and direct outdoor access will particularly suit downsizers or those wanting a spacious retirement base with strong entertaining potential.
