The accommodation, in brief, provides on the ground floor an entrance hallway, storage room, bedroom, lounge with feature fireplace, beautifully appointed and generous kitchen/diner and shower room/utility area. On the first floor there are three further bedrooms, one of which is currently being used as a hobbies' room, bathroom and there is a separate door to a studio/apartment which the owner currently lets out through Airbnb but would seem equally perfect for a dependant relative.

To the outside and being a real feature of this property is the fabulous walled garden of generous proportions, planted with an array of specimen plants, trees and shrubs, including apple, pear and kiwi. There is also a summer house and pond all in all a quite wonderful sheltered space to sit out and enjoy. weather permitting once can follow the sun around throughout the day.

Set within the older quarter of Helston the property is very convenient for the town centre. Helston is regarded as the gateway to the Lizard Peninsula with its stunning feature coves, beaches and clifftop walks. The bustling market town provides facilities which include national stores, cinema, health centres, restaurants and there is a leisure centre with indoor heated pool. Well regarded primary and secondary schools are also a short stroll away. The property is also particularly well sited for the amenity area towards the bottom of the town with its boating lake that leads onwards to the Penrose Estate from which many walks can be enjoyed alongside Cornwall's largest natural freshwater lake. This in turn leads to the sea at Loe Bar.

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.
