"Timeless Character Meets Coastal Convenience – Your Dream Cornwall Home Awaits"

Description

Tucked away in a peaceful setting, this substantial semi-detached period home combines character, space, and modern comfort in equal measure. Offering 3/4 bedrooms, three versatile reception rooms, and beautifully landscaped gardens extending to around a quarter of an acre, it’s a home designed to suit both family life and entertaining.

From the moment you arrive, the traditional features and generous proportions are immediately inviting. Inside, the accommodation is flexible and welcoming, with beamed ceilings, feature fireplaces, and a cosy wood-burning stove creating the perfect backdrop for modern living.

The ground floor provides a choice of reception spaces, including a characterful lounge with exposed granite fireplace, a bright dining room with dual-aspect windows, and a breakfast room ideal for relaxed mornings. The spacious kitchen is fitted with granite worktops, a de-commissioned Rayburn (which could be re-commissioned), and a stable door opening directly into the Utility room then out to the Sublime garden. A ground-floor bedroom adds valuable versatility, whether for guests, multi-generational living, or use as a home office.

Upstairs, three well-proportioned bedrooms are served by a family bathroom, with the principal bedroom also benefitting from an adjoining dressing room/nursery – which could easily be converted into an en-suite if desired.

The Gardens

The gardens are a true highlight of this home. Extending to around a quarter of an acre, they’ve been thoughtfully landscaped into a private haven of greenery and colour. Mature shrubbery, rose bushes, and a graceful eucalyptus tree provide year-round interest, while carefully positioned seating areas capture both the sun and the views – perfect for morning coffee or summer evenings with friends.

Alongside the lawns and planted borders, several useful outbuildings remain, including a stone-built original W.C, sheds, and stores. The gardens strike a rare balance between beauty and practicality, with ample space for family life, entertaining, and even the potential for future development (subject to consents).

Outbuildings & Parking

A generous driveway provides off-road parking for numerous vehicles, complemented by a detached garage and two workshops. These versatile spaces are ideal for hobbies, storage, or home business use, with excellent potential for conversion – including the option to transform the garage into an annex, subject to the necessary planning consents.

Location

This home enjoys a tucked-away position that feels wonderfully private yet remains close to everyday conveniences. Nestled within a charming setting, it offers the best of both worlds – peaceful surroundings with easy access to local amenities.

Nearby, you’ll find shops, schools, and services within a short drive, making day-to-day life simple and practical. Primary schools can be found in St Hilary, Leestown, and Godolphin, while Goldsithney, around two miles away, provides everyday amenities. For broader shopping, leisure, and transport links, both Penzance and Hayle are within easy reach.

For lovers of the outdoors, the surrounding countryside offers endless opportunities for walking, cycling, and exploring. Cornwall’s spectacular coastline is also close at hand – with Perranuthnoe, Praa Sands, and Marazion beaches all nearby. Hayle, just a nine-minute drive away, opens the door to some of Cornwall’s most breathtaking stretches of golden sand, rolling dunes, and turquoise waters. The ever-popular town of St Ives is also within easy reach, famed for its cobbled streets, boutique shops, art galleries, and stunning beaches – a true gem on Cornwall’s north coast. The National Trust’s Godolphin Estate is just minutes away, offering beautiful countryside walks steeped in history.

Transport links are excellent, with convenient access to the A30 for commuting further afield, while nearby train stations provide direct services to Truro, Plymouth, and beyond.
