Description

Steeped in rich and colourful history, this remarkable Grade II Listed former farmhouse presents an incredibly rare opportunity in the highly sought-after coastal village of Gunwalloe. Just moments from the iconic Church Cove and surrounded by beautiful countryside, scenic walks and popular Halzephron Inn, this charming property perfectly blends period character with modern convenience.

The property itself is brimming with historic charm and original features, including traditional Nordic panelling dating back to the 17th century and an extraordinary walk-in inglenook fireplace that sets a warm and welcoming tone. Inside, the home offers an impressive amount of space, with a wonderfully open plan living area that seamlessly combines the kitchen, dining, and sitting areas – ideal for family life and entertaining.

In addition, there’s a spacious separate lounge, a bright sunroom, a conservatory that looks out over the gardens, and a practical utility room. A split level landing, a characterful feature in its own right, leads to three generously sized bedrooms, two of which benefit from built-in wardrobes. The large family bathroom boasts a freestanding bath and separate shower cubicle, adding a touch of luxury.

Set in grounds of approximately 1.25 acres, the property enjoys beautifully planted gardens, a paddock, and sea views from the top of the plot – a true rarity this close to the coast. Whether you're looking for space to relax, grow your own, or simply enjoy the view, this outdoor setting is exceptional. Further benefits include a larger than average garage, ample off-road parking, and the potential for so much more.

Properties with this level of character, land, and proximity to the sea rarely come to market – this is a unique opportunity to secure a piece of Cornish history in one of the area's most treasured villages.

About Mather Partnership, Helston

Industry affiliations:Industry affiliation logo 0Industry affiliation logo 1Industry affiliation logo 2

Founded in the heart of Helston in 2000, our journey began in a modest office with just three dedicated staff members. Steve and Angie Mather, a well-known local couple, laid the foundation for what would become a thriving family business. In 2005, we welcomed Emma Mather, now our Managing Director, to the team. Pete joined us in 2007 and, after buying the business in 2010, he played a pivotal role in our expansion. By 2014, we had outgrown our original space and moved to a larger office on Meneage Street, where our team continued to flourish. Today, our Helston office proudly hosts a team of 11 talented individuals. In 2025, we extended our reach even further by opening a second office in Hayle, bringing our trusted services to an even wider community.

Our growth story is a testament to our commitment to excellence and the strong relationships we’ve built with our clients over the years. Follow us on our social media platforms to keep an eye on what we are up to.
