This has to
be one of the most memorably situated holiday houses anywhere in
the U.K. With breathtaking views up and down the Helford River,
Tremerlin has 4 acres of secret woodland gardens, 200 metres of
water frontage, its own quay and slipway with private moorings and
complete peace and quiet. You can watch the herons, egrets, curlews
and oystercatchers on the shoreline, survey vast sweeps of centuries-old
oak forest and enjoy the sunsets in this most beautiful part of
the world. The words magic and paradise
occur over and over again in visitors comments Tremerlin is
a two-storey timber-framed property with a full length covered veranda
on the first floor a patio on the ground floor. The house is surrounded
by woodland and a 10-minute walk through it leads you to Helford
Village with its pub, café and village store. Just as close
in the other direction is the world-famous Frenchmans Creek.
It will, however, be hard to leave Tremerlin with its woodland ponds,
tree ferns, magnolias, camellias and the shoreline to explore. Small
boat sailing is excellent here. The interior of Tremerlin has an
atmosphere all its own. It makes no pretence of providing all mod
cons, just comfortable, relaxed, spacious living with period furniture
and fittings and natural wood everywhere. The owner is an artist,
musician and furniture maker; who lives and works in his studio
in the grounds well apart from Tremerlin. Prices for this property
are high, because there is enormous demand to stay here. If you
come, you will immediately understand why.
