Description

This beautiful Grade II listed cottage is ideally positioned just off the heart of the town centre, close to the historic St Michael’s Church. Deceptively spacious and arranged over three floors, the property blends period charm with practical living. Its central yet peaceful location offers easy access to the town centre and local amenities, including schooling and scenic wooded riverside walks through the Cober Valley.

The ground floor features a characterful kitchen with a traditional Cornish Range (not currently in use), alongside a spacious sitting room complete with an open fire, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. To the first floor, there are two bedrooms and a bathroom, while the second floor provides two further attic bedrooms, offering flexible accommodation for family living, guests, or home working.

Externally, the gardens are a particular highlight, being of a generous size and offering an excellent degree of privacy. Thoughtfully planted with a wonderful variety of shrubs, trees, and plants, the garden is truly a gardener’s dream. At the top of the garden, a potting shed and charming summer house provide additional interest, with delightful views back towards the church across the garden.

Selling your home is a significant decision, and the estate agent you choose can have a direct impact on both the price you achieve and how smoothly the process unfolds.

The Mather Partnership is an independent estate agency with offices in Helston and Hayle, specialising in the marketing and sale of homes across South West Cornwall.

For more than two decades we have helped local homeowners successfully move across South West Cornwall.

Our role is simple. To represent your home properly.

That means thoughtful presentation, professional marketing and experienced negotiation designed to attract serious buyers and achieve the strongest possible result. Because when a home is presented well and priced correctly, the market responds.

We believe every home deserves to be marketed with care and attention, not simply uploaded to the major property websites and left to sit.

Much of our business comes through recommendation from previous clients, something we are extremely proud of.

If you are curious about what your home might achieve in the current market, our team would be very happy to offer clear and honest advice.
