3 bed detached house for sale

Sanctuary Lane, Helston TR13

Tucked away in a quiet, secluded setting, yet just moments from town and local amenities this three double bedroom cottage is full of warmth, character, and charm.

Hidden from the road and only visible from its own secluded garden, the front of the house enjoys excellent privacy and a peaceful outlook. Step inside to discover spacious yet cosy accommodation, thoughtfully laid out to offer both comfort and individuality.

At the heart of the home is a handmade kitchen/breakfast room, alongside a generous living and dining space with a log burner, perfect for relaxing evenings. The ground floor also features a double bedroom with French doors opening directly onto the garden, as well as a stylish bathroom.

Upstairs are two further double bedrooms, each with views over the garden and beyond to the rooftops of Helston and the surrounding countryside.

The garden itself is a true sanctuary—enjoying a beautifully sunny aspect, private, and brimming with mature planting. Well-established beds and borders are complemented by a lawned area, a kitchen garden, and practical additions like a shed and log store. From here, you can enjoy tranquil views towards St Michael’s Church and take in spectacular sunsets.

Peaceful and tucked away, yet just a short stroll from the town centre, Tesco, and highly regarded local schools including Parc Eglos Primary and Helston Community College, this is a special home in a quietly exceptional location.
