Description

An exciting opportunity to acquire a delightful cottage in a tucked away position, just a short stroll from the bustling town centre of Helston.

Retaining many original period features, this charming home offers well-proportioned accommodation throughout and is truly a "hidden gem."

The property benefits from double glazing and a gas fired Rayburn.

The ground floor comprises a characterful kitchen/diner featuring a Rayburn, alongside a cosy lounge/diner with an impressive stone fireplace.

Upstairs, the property offers three bedrooms, the master of which spills out onto the sunroom with a door out onto the lovely garden and there is a bathroom.

A standout feature of the home is the beautifully maintained garden, filled with a variety of mature plants and shrubs-clearly a labour of love. To the front, there is also a welcoming courtyard seating area.

Helston is known as the gateway to the Lizard Peninsula, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty famed for its dramatic coastline, hidden coves, and scenic cliff-top walks. The town itself is a vibrant market hub, offering a range of amenities including shops, healthcare facilities, a cinema, and a leisure centre with an indoor swimming pool. Well-regarded schools are nearby, and a university campus is located in Penryn, approximately twelve miles away.

Flora Day is the most important day in the Helston calendar.
