A Timeless Cornish Gem set on The Helford River

A stunning, south facing, waterside home; the Old Kiln was built around and atop an 18th Century Lime Kiln which remains visible to this day at ground level. A striking property of architectural merit, a distinctive wave-form roof caps a wall of glazing allowing for 180-degree views of the waterside. Floor to ceiling windows within the vast open plan living area bring the activity of the creek into full view, from the picturesque village of Port Navas out onto the Helford River. You’ll delight in watching the world of nature go by from indoors, or from the extensive balcony that runs along the front of the building.
