Location Pobbles is situated in one of the most sought after locations close to the stunningly beautiful Helford River and the harbourside town of Falmouth. Budock Vean Lane is within a couple of miles of Mawnan Smith, a popular village with post office and general stores, Junior School and lovely old thatched pub. Nearby is the prestigious Budock Vean Hotel whose Country Club, Natural Health Spa and golf course amenities are available to non residents. Helford Passage, a hamlet on the north side of the Helford River with its renowned riverside pub and restaurant, is within a five minute drive and has moorings, various water sports opportunities and a seasonal passenger ferry to the south side of the river and the Lizard Peninsula. Moorings, together with bar and restaurant facilities, are also offered at nearby picturesque Port Navas.

Truro itself has state and fee paying schooling, college facilities and a large general hospital. Mainline rail links and regular flights from Newquay airport bring London and other cities within easy reach.
Description Built in 1972 Pobbles is coming to the market for the first time. The property has been lovingly maintained and considerably extended resulting in a deceptively large bungalow.
