Description

From the moment you arrive, there is an undeniable sense of calm. The cottage itself is full of character and warmth, with a charmingly rustic feel that perfectly complements its idyllic setting. At the heart of the home is a farmhouse style kitchen, beautifully finished with duck egg blue shaker cabinetry and a Rayburn creating a space that feels both welcoming and effortlessly traditional. The cosy sitting room, centred around a log burner, is perfect for quiet evenings, while a second reception room with French doors opening to the garden offers wonderful flexibility, ideal as a dining room, home office or occasional guest bedroom.

The ground floor also features a stylish bathroom, complete with a walk in shower and a freestanding claw foot bath, as well as a useful cloakroom. Upstairs, two generous double bedrooms provide for comfortable accommodation, each enjoying views over the surrounding gardens.

The true magic, however, lies beyond the cottage walls. Set within grounds approaching two acres, the outside space is nothing short of extraordinary. Immediately surrounding the property are charming gardens and a lawn which, in May, transforms into a breathtaking carpet of bluebells. A wooded path leads you down to a productive garden area with raised beds and a greenhouse, framed by mature trees that offer welcome shade during the summer months, a perfect setting for those seeking a more self-sufficient lifestyle. Beyond this lies a further walled wooded area, adding yet more character, privacy and potential.

Whether you dream of growing your own produce, creating a tranquil retreat, or simply owning a secluded slice of the Cornish countryside, this property offers endless possibilities.

Despite its peaceful and tucked away setting, the cottage remains well connected, with easy access to Helston, Penzance and Hayle, as well as both the North and South coasts. The surrounding area is rich in natural beauty and heritage, with Godolphin Woods, Godolphin Hill and the historic Godolphin House all close by. A truly special home, offering charm, seclusion and a lifestyle that is increasingly hard to find.

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.
