The Location

Boslowen is quietly tucked away on the side of a picturesque wooded valley, between the villages of Mawnan Smith and Port Navas, close to the northern banks of the Helford River estuary.

Port Navas itself is one of south Cornwall’s most desirable creekside hamlets, centred around a cluster of traditional stone cottages at the head of the water. The village also boasts a hall, yacht club with restaurant, and access to the sailing waters of the Helford. Everyday shopping and amenities can be found in the nearby villages of Constantine and Mawnan Smith. The vibrant harbour town of Falmouth, with its yacht marinas, university, and thriving cultural scene, lies just a short drive away. For recreation, Budock Vean offers an excellent golf course, and the surrounding countryside, much of it owned by the National Trust and designated an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, provides an abundance of idyllic creekside and coastal walks.

Cornwall’s transport connections have improved considerably in recent months, with the upgraded A30 offering fast access throughout the county and onwards to the M5 at Exeter. Newquay Airport provides regular services to London and a growing range of European destinations. Falmouth is about 5 miles from the property, while the cathedral city of Truro lies approximately 14 miles away; together they provide the county’s most extensive shopping, educational, and commercial facilities. From Truro, there is a direct mainline rail link to London Paddington.
