Description

Tastefully enhanced during our owners tenure the semi-detached cottage has firmly retained its soul, with a wealth of character features including a striking feature fireplace, beamed ceilings, slate flooring and authentic exposed stone work. These are seamlessly complemented by a stylish, contemporary, open plan living space with underfloor heating and a stunning sun room with oak beams, a vaulted ceiling and doors opening out invitingly into a sheltered patio area - perfect for morning coffee or an 'al fresco' lunch.

The heart of the home is the stunning open plan living space that effortlessly blends the kitchen, dining and lounge areas. A luxuriously appointed kitchen features quartz worktops, a double Belfast sink and an array of stylish drawers and cupboards. The lounge invites cosy evenings beside the wood burning stove and enjoys an outlook towards Coverack bay beyond neighbouring properties.

A ground floor double bedroom with sea glimpses and an adjacent shower room would seem ideal for guests, whilst the versatile study area could easily enable working from home to become a reality.

Upstairs, the master double bedroom enjoys views out towards the sea and benefits from a private en-suite shower and cloakroom, whilst there is a further double bedroom with views towards Coverack bay. The family bathroom is nicely appointed with a crisp white suite and metro tiling.

Outside the tiered rear garden is a delight. Enclosed by mature hedging and a Cornish stone wall, the garden is well tended and beautifully landscaped being laid largely to lawn. Elevated patio areas and decking provide the perfect place to sit out and relax or entertain and enjoy the elevated sea views and coastal backdrop.

The summerhouse is aptly positioned and benefits from wood flooring, power and light, offering versatility as a studio or work space.

With solar panels for hot water and underfloor heating to the ground floor, Ivy Cottage exudes character, but with all the comforts of modern living.

The accommodation in brief comprises an entrance hallway, shower room, open plan kitchen/dining room/lounge, sun room, study, three bedrooms (master en-suite) and a family bathroom.

Coverack itself is a Cornish fishing village situated on the Lizard Peninsula, which has been designated as an area of outstanding natural beauty. The Cove itself has a lovely sandy beach which is a popular centre for water sports that include windsurfing, stand-up paddle boarding, sailing and diving. There is an attractive harbour from which a small fleet of traditional fishing boats operate and land their daily catch. There is a public house, restaurants, a shop selling local produce and a primary school.

St Keverne village is a short drive away and has a number of shops, including a butcher's and doctor's surgery, whilst comprehensive schooling can be found in the nearby village of Mullion. The bustling market town of Helston, which has more extensive amenities including national stores and supermarkets, is some eight miles distant.

About Christophers, Helston

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.
