‘Far from the Madding Crowd'

A detached country cottage with adjoining outbuildings, requiring complete renovation in an elevated position off the beaten track, enjoying panoramic countryside views. The property is set in grounds extending to approximately 14 acres and lies within easy reach of the old market town of Helston and the south Cornish coast.

Location
Wheal Vrose Cottage lies in a truly rural position surrounded by farmland and lies approximately 1 mile from the village of Crowntown, some 3.5 miles from the old market town of Helston, famed for its Furry Dance and boasts a wide range of retail and professional, health and leisure facilities.

The scenic Lizard Peninsula, renowned for its extensive coastal walks, rugged coastline and sheltered coves and beaches, are within easy reach. For the equestrian enthusiasts there is direct riding out via the bridlepath onto many quiet country lanes and tracks within the area.

The Property
A detached traditional cottage of stone elevations under a pitched roof with adjoining single storey barn and stables, requiring complete renovation throughout.

Wheal Vrose is entered via a porch into the breakfast room with solid fuel stove and window seat to the front elevation with access to the galley style kitchen; matching range of worktops, plumbing for a washing machine; sitting room leading to a bathroom with bath, shower and wc; turning cottage style stairwell to the first floor with two double bedrooms to the front elevation and box room/ bedroom 3 to the rear with restricted headroom.

The property benefits from beam ceilings, partial PVC double glazing and cottage style gardens to the front. It lends itself to be extended into the adjoining barns, or alternatively a replacement dwelling, subject to planning.

Lying in an elevated position with a south-westerly aspect, the property enjoys panoramic far-reaching views of the surrounding countryside, to include, the south Cornish coastline, Tregonning Hill, Godolphin Hill and the West Penwith hills above St Ives. .

The property is accessed, via a right of way, off an unmade track from a council no through road.

The Land
The grounds extend in all to 14.03 acres (5.69 hectares) or thereabouts, and the land is divided into manageable enclosures with an area of croft land.

The land would be suitable for grazing of livestock, horses and is bounded mainly by traditional Cornish hedge banks.

The unproductive croft land lends itself as a wildlife habitat, attracting much flora and fauna. At the top of the grounds lies a Logan Rock, a naturally balanced large boulder.

Property Information

A recent walkover mining survey of the property has been undertaken which concluded ‘there appears to be no obvious evidence that the property has been affected by subsidence, and/or significant settlement related effects.' The mining report can be made available to interested parties after a viewing.
