Description

Situated in the heart of this increasingly sought-after Cornish fishing village is this beautifully presented four-bedroom detached former vicarage. A substantial and imposing residence full of character, the property has undergone extensive and sympathetic renovation in recent years, resulting in a wonderful home that blends charming period features with the refinements of modern living.

Warmed by oil-fired central heating, the property enjoys far-reaching views over the village, taking in the Bickford Institute clock tower, the pier and extending out to sea. At the rear of the main residence is a delightful one-bedroom annexe, currently operating as a successful holiday let. Alternatively, for those seeking a home office or studio, this versatile space could provide the ideal setting for achieving a perfect work-life balance.

The grounds are a real feature of the property, with generous gardens-mainly laid to lawn-surrounding and framing the home with a variety of well-established plants and shrubs. The garden also includes a charming summer house set on a raised deck, offering a pleasant spot to relax or entertain, while to the rear there is a good-sized garage complete with inspection pit. We have been advised by the vendors that a quotation has been obtained for providing parking in the front garden, further details available on request.

An opportunity to purchase an exquisite, four bedroom detached period former vicarage in the heart of the sought after Cornish fishing village of Porthleven.

Porthleven is a thriving and picturesque Cornish fishing village, centered around its historic harbour which provides a natural focal point. Clustered around the harbour are a variety of pubs, restaurants, cafés and independent shops, giving the village a lively year-round atmosphere. Local amenities cater for everyday needs and include a primary school with nursery, while the nearby market town of Helston-just a few miles away-offers a wider range of facilities including national retailers, a cinema, comprehensive school with sixth form college, supermarkets and a sports centre with indoor swimming pool. Between Porthleven and Helston lies the stunning Penrose Estate, owned by the National Trust. This beautiful area offers an abundance of scenic walks and trails through rolling countryside and ancient woodland, surrounding Loe Pool-Cornwall's largest natural freshwater lake. Porthleven also has a strong sense of community and tradition, perhaps best illustrated by its award-winning brass band, whose summer performances around the harbour often fill the evening air with music, creating a unique and memorable atmosphere for residents and visitors alike.

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.
