Romantic waterfront house set on the beautiful Helford River — Property 984

Romantic waterfront house set on the beautiful Helford River

This 300 year old building is comfortably furnished with books, paintings and items of family history. Every room has a peaceful river view; unique and unspoilt country side surrounds the house. Bishops Quay is a tiny riverside hamlet; there are only four houses here. The ever changing scene is of the tidal estuary with fascinating river birds and small boats to watch, from window, balcony or water. Lovely local beaches and gardens to visit are nearby. Many artists and craftspeople work in this area, and there are is an excellent farm shop within walking distance.
