Description
Chy Van Dour, meaning "house above the water" in Cornish, is aptly named for its elevated position overlooking the Helford River. Tucked away at the end of a private no-through lane shared with just two other properties, this home enjoys a serene and secluded setting within 1.6 acres of grounds that extend to the water's edge.

Garden
The garden at Chy Van Dour, though in need of some care, exudes a coastal charm and is renowned as a plantsman’s haven, home to rare and unique species. It features sweeping lawns, vibrant flower beds, and a tapestry of spring bulbs, rhododendrons, camellias, hellebores, and climbing hydrangeas. Spanning approximately 1.6 acres, the grounds include woodland, a paddock, and a timber building currently used as a boat store, previously a stable and tack room. Additional outbuildings enhance the property, while a gentle stream meanders down to the foreshore, where a tidal running mooring awaits.
