Description

While the property would benefit from a degree of modernisation, it offers great potential to create an super family home, situated along one of Helston's most well-regarded residential roads.

Rich in character, the home retains period features, complemented by modern comforts including gas central heating and double glazing.

The well-proportioned accommodation briefly comprises: an entrance hallway, lounge, separate dining room, and a spacious kitchen/breakfast room featuring a gas-fired Aga and walk-in larder. A utility area and ground-floor W.C. complete the downstairs layout. To the first floor are four bedrooms, a study, and a family bathroom.

Externally, the property is approached via land owned by the Downs Land Trust - a charity dedicated to preserving the attractive approaches to Helston - leading to a gated parking area. The surrounding gardens are a particular highlight, with the rear garden being of generous proportions.

Positioned to the side and rear of the main house, the self-contained annexe provides superb flexibility, comprising an open-plan living/kitchen area, shower room, and double bedroom, along with its own garden space to the front - ideal for multi-generational living, guest accommodation, or income potential subject to the necessary plannings and consents.

Helston is an historic and thriving market town offering a comprehensive range of amenities, including national retailers, health centres, a cinema, and a leisure centre with indoor swimming pool. The town is served by well-regarded primary schools and a secondary school with sixth-form provision. It also serves as the gateway to the beautiful Lizard Peninsula, a dedicated area of outstanding natural beauty.

The company was established in 2002 and has an experienced team who for many years have dealt with property in this district.

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.
