4 bed detached house for sale

3 Church Hill, Helston TR13

An opportunity to purchase a three bedroom Grade II listed property plus integral one bedroom studio and a fabulous walled garden in the the bustling market town of Helston.

Being sold for the first time in approaching forty years is this super period property, having been lovingly maintained during our owner's tenure, brimming with character features whilst enjoying the refinements of modern living.

The accommodation, in brief, provides on the ground floor an entrance hallway, storage room, bedroom, lounge with feature fireplace, beautifully appointed and generous kitchen/diner and shower room/utility area. On the first floor there are three further bedrooms, one of which is currently being used as a hobbies' room, bathroom and there is a separate door to a studio/apartment which the owner currently lets out through Airbnb but would seem equally perfect for a dependant relative.

To the outside and being a real feature of this property is the fabulous walled garden of generous proportions, planted with an array of specimen plants, trees and shrubs, including apple, pear and kiwi. There is also a summer house and pond all in all a quite wonderful sheltered space to sit out and enjoy. Weather permitting once can follow the sun around throughout the day.

Set within the older quarter of Helston the property is very convenient for the town centre. Helston is regarded as the gateway to the Lizard Peninsula with its stunning feature coves, beaches and clifftop walks. The bustling market town provides facilities which include national stores, cinema, health centres, restaurants and there is a leisure centre with indoor heated pool. Well regarded primary and secondary schools are also a short stroll away. The property is also particularly well sited for the amenity area towards the bottom of the town with its boating lake that leads onwards to the Penrose Estate from which many walks can be enjoyed alongside Cornwall's largest natural freshwater lake. This in turn leads to the sea at Loe Bar.
