A handsome Victorian railway carriage from the 1880's sleeps 2, in a grand position above the main property with spectacular views over Frenchmans Creek and the upper Helford river.A private platform area with BQ, table and chairs alongside the carriage enjoys sunset views of the winding river into the distance to the west.3 shallow steps lead down to WC and shower room in a timber outbuilding. To the east is a fine meadow lined by grand Monterey pines that border the property. Woodland walks lead down to the river,slipway and quay.The carriage has a double bedroom at one end,a kitchen/dining area by the entrance and a living area alongside with antique sofa.
