Thoughtfully arranged over two floors, the property provides flexible living space, equally suited to family life, those working from home or buyers looking to enjoy a quieter pace of life.

The well appointed kitchen has been designed for those who love to cook, offering an excellent range of storage, generous work surface space and an electric Aga, while an adjoining utility room adds practicality.

The spacious sitting room, complete with a multi-fuel burning stove, is complemented by a separate study. A particular highlight is the beautiful dual aspect garden room, the current owners' favourite space, filled with natural light, enjoying direct access to the gardens and equally inviting beside the multi-fuel burner during the winter months.

The layout offers excellent flexibility with two bedrooms and a family bathroom on the ground floor, while upstairs are two further generous double bedrooms, one with an en suite cloakroom, together with a separate shower room.

The gardens are a true highlight of the property. Extending to approximately one third of an acre, they have been lovingly nurtured to create a series of peaceful spaces to relax and enjoy the changing seasons. Wildlife is abundant, with regular sightings of deer in the neighbouring fields and more than one hundred species of birds recorded by the current owners.

A productive kitchen garden provides an impressive variety of home grown fruit and vegetables throughout the year, making this a wonderful home for anyone looking to embrace a more self sufficient lifestyle.

Combining adaptable accommodation with exceptional gardens, this is a home that invites you to slow down, enjoy the outdoors and appreciate the peace and beauty of its surroundings.

LOCATION

The nearby village of Garras offers a well regarded primary school, while the magnificent 1,000 acre Trelowarren Estate provides miles of woodland walks, a Victorian folly and the highest point on the Lizard Peninsula. Trelowarren also offers a spa, gym, outdoor swimming pool and fine dining. The neighbouring village of Mawgan has an excellent village shop specialising in local produce together with the popular Ship Inn. The bustling market town of Helston, often regarded as the gateway to the Lizard Peninsula, is around five miles away and offers supermarkets, independent shops, cafés and both primary and secondary schools. The beautiful sailing waters of the Helford River are just a short drive away, while the dramatic coastline of the Lizard Peninsula offers some of Cornwall's finest coastal walks. The picturesque harbour village of Porthleven, with its excellent restaurants, cafés and renowned surf, is also within easy reach. Having enjoyed living here for many years, the current owners have discovered some wonderful local favourites that have become part of their everyday life. Trevassack Lake is their favourite place to enjoy a coffee overlooking the water, with opportunities for paddle boarding, kayaking and open water swimming in a beautiful lakeside setting. No visit to the area would be complete without calling at Gear Farm, famous for its award winning Cornish pasties, followed by a delightful woodland walk to Tremayne Quay, one of the Helford River's hidden gems. Another favourite is Roskilly's, a working organic dairy farm where you can enjoy peaceful walks, meet the animals and round off your visit with some of Cornwall's finest ice cream. It's these special local places, known and loved by those who live here, that make this such a wonderful part of Cornwall to call home

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.
