Description

Set within large private gardens in the village of Godolphin Cross, Bluebell Cottage is a beautifully presented four bedroom detached Cornish cottage offering generous living space, excellent parking and a wonderful connection to its gardens.

The property has been extensively renovated by the current owners and is in excellent condition throughout.

The property sits in an attractive and private plot with south facing lawned gardens, established planting and a spacious patio area ideal for outdoor dining and entertaining. There is ample parking together with a detached office and separate storeroom, making this an ideal home for those working remotely or needing additional practical space.

Inside, the accommodation is both welcoming and versatile. A porch leads into a spacious open plan kitchen, dining and living area with a wood burner creating a natural heart to the home. From here there is access to a utility room with separate WC. A second snug sitting room with bifold doors enjoys views across the garden and offers a peaceful space away from the main living space. Also on the ground floor is the master bedroom with en suite shower room. This impressive room features high ceilings and exposed granite stonework. Upstairs are three further bedrooms, each overlooking the gardens, together with a family bathroom.

The gardens are a particular feature of Bluebell Cottage. A large patio sits to the front of the house, while the gardens beyond include raised beds for vegetables and flowers, a pergola, summer house and two useful sheds. The overall plot provides excellent privacy and plenty of space to enjoy outdoor living.

Planning permission has been granted for a large south facing extension, offering buyers the opportunity to significantly increase the living space if desired. There was also former planning permission for a separate building plot within the garden which has now lapsed, highlighting the potential the site has previously offered.

Bluebell Cottage offers the rare combination of character, flexible living space, further potential and generous gardens within a popular West Cornwall village.

Location
Godolphin Cross is a well regarded village in West Cornwall, surrounded by open countryside and ideally positioned between the towns of Helston, Hayle and Penzance. The village benefits from a well regarded primary school and a strong sense of community, with a range of locally organised activities including regular daily groups, a popular monthly pub night and a well supported monthly farmers market. One of the area’s greatest attractions is the nearby National Trust owned Godolphin Estate, offering beautiful woodland walks, open countryside and the historic Godolphin House set within stunning landscaped grounds. The north coast beaches of Gwithian, Hayle and St Ives Bay are within easy reach, while the south coast harbour of Porthleven, stunning Praa Sands beach and the market town of Helston are only a short drive away. This central location makes Godolphin Cross an excellent base from which to enjoy both the coastline and countryside that West Cornwall is so well known for.

About Mather Partnership, Helston

25 Meneage Street Helston TR13 8AA
Industry affiliations:Industry affiliation logo 0

Founded in the heart of Helston in 2000, our journey began in a modest office with just three dedicated staff members. Steve and Angie Mather, a well-known local couple, laid the foundation for what would become a thriving family business. In 2005, we welcomed Emma Mather, now our Managing Director, to the team. Pete joined us in 2007 and, after buying the business in 2010, he played a pivotal role in our expansion. By 2014, we had outgrown our original space and moved to a larger office on Meneage Street, where our team continued to flourish. Today, our Helston office proudly hosts a team of 11 talented individuals. In 2025, we extended our reach even further by opening a second office in Hayle, bringing our trusted services to an even wider community.

Our growth story is a testament to our commitment to excellence and the strong relationships we’ve built with our clients over the years. Follow us on our social media platforms to keep an eye on what we are up to.
