Description

Situated in the well regarded rural village of Porkellis, the cottage has off road parking, a versatile carport and a thoughtfully conceived garden which enjoys a southerly aspect and lovely views over fields and countryside beyond.

Character features include white beamed ceilings, tastefully painted local stonework, a stylish fireplace with wood burning stove, latched doors, wood panelled walls and attractive painted floorboards. These are effortlessly complemented by bi-fold doors that open out invitingly into the garden and patio area and would seem a perfect place in which to relax and enjoy some al fresco dining.

Enjoying a sunny aspect and with the clever use of skylights, the cottage is flooded with natural light making it a warm and welcoming place in which to live. The open plan living space is light and airy, from the stylish crafted kitchen to the cosy lounge and dining area.

On the first floor are three generously sized double bedrooms with vaulted ceilings, stylish painted floorboards and an elevated outlook over the rear garden to the rural scene beyond. These are complemented by a nicely appointed bathroom suite and a practical wet room with underfloor heating. The large triple aspect main bedroom could easily be used as an additional lounge, snug or office to suit a particular buyer's needs.

The accommodation, in brief, comprises an open plan kitchen/dining room, lounge and a wet room. On the first floor are three bedrooms and a family bathroom. The cottage benefits from anthracite aluminium double glazing, a 'Terma' electric heating system and ethernet points which are likely to appeal to those who may wish to work from home. Porkellis is a lovely rural village convenient for the towns of Helston and Falmouth with all the amenities they have to offer. The Star Inn in Porkellis is a well regarded pub, whilst primary schools can be found in the neighbouring hamlets of Halwin and Wendron. Stithians Reservoir Water Sports Centre and reservoir walks are located approximately two miles away. There are a wealth of footpaths and bridleways moments away from the property, whilst the National Trust owned Porkellis Moor is nearby. Secondary education can be found both in the towns of Helston and Falmouth, while the latter also has a university campus.

About Christophers, Helston

5 Wendron Street, Helston, TR13 8PT
Industry affiliations:Industry affiliation logo 0Industry affiliation logo 1Industry affiliation logo 2

Christophers Estate Agents is an independent estate agency that was started with a view of providing "pure traditional estate agency".

The company was established in 2002 and has an experienced team who for many years have dealt with property in this district.

We are indeed privileged to work in an area of such natural beauty. Helston is the gateway and commercial centre for the Lizard Peninsula and provides a range of national stores, Comprehensive School, College, Sports Centre with indoor swimming pool and a Cinema. The town is linked to the coast by the beautiful Penrose Estate which is also home to Cornwall's largest natural fresh water lake at Loe Pool.

To the west our area skirts around Mount's Bay and it encompasses a number of highly regarded villages and attractive areas of open countryside.

Flora Day is the most important day in the Helston calendar. It takes place at the beginning of May each year and although it's origins are lost in the mists of time it is believed to have been performed by the townsfolk for hundreds if not thousands of years. During the day four Furry dances take place the first one starting at 7.00 a.m. in the morning! Thousands of people throng the streets of this Ancient Market town to welcome in the Spring. The principal dance takes place at 12 noon with the gentleman in morning suits and top hats and the ladies wearing long colourful dresses with splendid hats.
