Helford Estuary Old Victorian Farmhouse near Gillan Creek
Step back in time at this Victorian property which was once a farmhouse but has been offering self catering to summer visitors for decades! Gillywartha is a three-bedroom property in a tranquil rural location, just a short walk away from Gillan Creek and the coast path.

On the ground floor are the Sitting Room with a sofa and armchairs, period fireplace with log-effect electric stove, and flatscreen TV. A selection of books and games is available for guests’ use. Also on the ground floor, a corridor leads to the large Family Bathroom with bath with shower over, wash basin and WC. Two rooms on the ground floor are currently retained by the owners for storage.
A period staircase leads up to the first floor. Bedroom 1 has views towards Falmouth Bay over farmland, double bed, bedside cabinets, large chest of drawers, built-in wardrobe, wooden armchair and wash basin. Bedroom 2 has a double bed, bedside cabinets, wardrobe, small chest of drawers, wicker armchair, wash basin and period fireplace. Bedroom 3 has 2 single beds, bedside cabinet, dressing table, chest of drawers, small cupboard with hangers, chair and period fireplace.
The spacious Kitchen is well equipped with electric cooker, microwave, dishwasher, fridge/freezer, toaster, kettle, small TV, CD player/radio and plenty of pots, pans, crockery and cutlery for a family of 6.
