The Lizard, Helston

Located on the edge of Lizard Green, with an open outlook across the village to the bay in the distance, is this light and bright 4 bedroom 4 bathroom residence with the ability to provide annexe accommodation if required.

Now a substantial family home, 'Chapel House' offers accommodation of over 2700 sq ft comprising on the ground floor: porch, entrance hallway with beautiful parquet floor, 27' dual aspect reception room, cosy sitting room with open fireplace, and a recently fitted kitchen/breakfast room.

The studio's flexibility makes it ideal for those requiring a self-contained annexe, large 3rd reception room or art/workshop space. On the first floor are 3 double bedrooms (all en-suite), with bedroom 3 providing its own office/dressing room. Externally, 'Chapel House' offers low maintenance south-facing courtyard-style gardens, as well as driveway parking for at least 4 cars. A wonderful opportunity for those looking to aquire a 'unique home' in this iconic village.
