3 bedroom cottage for sale

We are pleased to offer as our clients sole agents, this three bedroom, detached character cottage, set in a private lane and in its own large gardens and around 3 acres of land or thereabouts, enjoying superb views across fields to countryside and Goonhilly Earth Satellite Station on the horizon.

The cottage has been in the same family since 1960 and comes to the open market for the first time in over 60 years and is being sold with the benefit of 'no onward chain.'

The cottage has plenty of character with a wealth of beam ceilings, exposed stonework, fireplaces and natural woodwork and offers potential new owners a rare chance to create a really special home with no immediate neighbours and embrace a country lifestyle which is perfect for a growing family.

It is somewhat old fashioned and needs a programme of modernisation and updating and even has possibilities of extending the accommodation, subject to planning permission and building regulation approval.

Within the cottage there are current features including oil-fired central heating by radiators, UPVC double glazed windows, doors and conservatory (where stated), fireplace with Rayburn range in the dining room, an open fireplace in the cosy sitting room and some original doors.

The accommodation on the ground floor includes a conservatory porch, sitting room, dining room, a galley style kitchen and side porch/utility room with door to the outside, a rear hallway and a generous wet room with shower and wc. A staircase from the entrance lobby rises to the first floor where you will find three bedrooms (two doubles and one single). Outside, you will see from the photographs, there is a partially built structure attached to the house that could provide further accommodation, a detached granite barn in need of some restoration, large mature lawned gardens bisected by the driveway which provides plenty of parking and turning, well stocked south-west facing front gardens and three enclosures of land ideal for somebody with horses or small livestock.



The historical mining village of Wendron is located approximately 3 miles north of the ancient market town of Helston, home of the annual Flora Dance. Within this rural area you will find Wendron C of E primary and junior school which currently has an outstanding Ofsted report and the parish church of St Wendrona. Close by is the popular Wheal Dream Restaurant and within the parish, just a short drive away is the Piatto Bistro at the Homestead Woodland Garden and The Star Inn at Porkellis. For a more comprehensive range of facilities, the town of Helston offers a number of independent shops, restaurants, takeaways and on the outskirts, Tesco, Sainsburys and Lidl supermarkets. There are several primary schools and Helston College for secondary education. Other facilities include doctors, dentists, Helston Community Hospital and for leisure, The Flora Cinema and the boating lake and cafe at the foot of the town.

A personal viewing is highly recommended to secure this rare opportunity.
