situation and amenitiesMachan sits in a wonderful elevated, private and sheltered position on the Lizard Peninsula overlooking Gillan Creek immediately to the south of the entrance to the Helford River. It lies in the midst of an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty with views from the house across Falmouth Bay to Falmouth and St Mawes some four miles distant (by sea). The sub-tropical gardens run down to Gillan Cove which has just a dozen or so houses, a small sandy beach, a stone quay, and from which there are numerous scenic creekside and coastal walks. The Creek is home to an amazing collection of seabirds throughout the year.

w Less than two miles away is the historic village of Manaccan, with colour-washed thatched cottages and 12th century church, famous for its 200 year old fig tree growing out of the steeple wall. There is a community-owned traditional thatched pub and the excellent South restaurant. Three miles away is the larger village of St Keverne with two pubs, a butcher’s shop, general stores, newsagent, health centre and Greenhouse restaurant.

W The area is renowned for its wealth of stunning coastal walks. A beautiful 3-mile coastal walk takes you from the house to Porthallow and the Five Pilchards Inn and Fat Apples café, both well-worth a visit. The walks from the house along Gillan Creek, the Helford River and to Frenchman’s Creek, the setting for Daphne du Maurier’s famous novel, are arguably some of the most picturesque in the Country.

s The Helford River, Carrick Roads and Falmouth Bay offer some of the best sailing waters in the UK, and there are various sailing clubs and schools, including at nearby St Anthony. Moorings are available in Gillan Creek. At Helford there is the busy Helford River Sailing Club, deep water moorings, a shop and riverside pub. The annual Helford Regatta is a very well attended event.

G The challenging links of Mullion Golf Club are nearby, there is local horse-riding, a surf school and sailboarding instruction.

S About 11 miles west of Machan, is the historic and bustling market town of Helston, famed for its annual Floral Dance. Helston offers a good range of shops and restaurants including a large 24-hour supermarket. Comprehensive shopping facilities can be found in the city of Truro, about 23 miles to the north-east, along with the Hall For Cornwall, a performing arts and entertainment venue, and the Royal Cornwall Museum.

M The A30 can be accessed about 6.6 miles north of Truro. Work on the remaining section of dual-carriageway is due to be completed in 2016, and will provide dual-carriageway throughout linking with the M5 at Exeter.

T Regular services run from the railway stations at Truro (London Paddington 4 hours 17 minutes) and Redruth (London Paddington 4 hours 30 minutes). A new fleet of trains is due to be introduced by the end of 2018 which is expected to bring enhanced journey times.

A Newquay airport is about 42 miles away and offers year round flights to London Gatwick, Manchester and the Isles of Scilly, with seasonal flights to a number of other airports including London Stansted, Glasgow, Edinburgh and Dublin. Daily flights to the Isles of Scilly are also available from Land’s End airport (approximately 32 miles from Machan). Less than 10 miles away, The Royal Naval Air Station at Culdrose allows private planes and helicopters to land by prior arrangement.

MachanBuilt in the early 1930’s, Machan was designed and constructed in the Art Moderne style, and has been beautifully restored and renovated by the current owners for 21st century living. The property works superbly as both a holiday home and a family home, with meticulous attention to detail noticeable throughout, within a layout that takes advantage of the spectacular views. Of particular note on the ground floor is the striking 180-degree bay window in the dining room, looking out over the gardens and harbour beyond. The spacious reception rooms have been designed with entertaining in mind and create a wonderful

open feel, further enhanced by large folding windows in the drawing room, looking out to sea. Machan also provides the superb practical elements one would expect for the highest quality seaside living, including Lutron lighting, a Bulthaup kitchen and breakfast room with Gaggenau appliances, a wine cellar and a bespoke fitted utility room. The spacious proportions continue on the first floor, featuring a vast master bedroom suite with breath-taking sea views and access to a private terrace. There are 3

further large bedrooms two with terraces and all with en-suite bathrooms. Additional rooms on the ground floor presently used as a media room and study, could easily be used as bedrooms or staff accommodation and have their own cloakroom with shower and independent access.Accessed both from the outside and from the house, the indoor heated swimming pool with Badu Jet counter-current unit and gymnasium, both fully tiled in Travertine, provide an excellent fitness facility.

Gardens, Grounds and outbuildingsMachan benefits from the rare combination of a fabulous coastal position and a large enough acreage to ensure privacy. Outbuildings include a workshop,a double garage and orangery. The gardens which are designed to be low-maintenance are made up of formal terraces, with a wide variety of indigenous plants associated with this part of Cornwall, and pathways leading down to the foreshore at Gillan Creek. An area of woodland surrounds and protects the house, ensuring privacy.
