Crowntown, Helston
PRICE GUIDE £280,000.00
This exceptional opportunity comprises a two-bedroom semi-detached cottage, in need of refurbishment with a particularly large garden extending to approximately one third of an acre, with the lower part of the garden benefitting from planning consent for the construction of a detached three-bedroom home.
Located in a delightful semi-rural setting, the property offers enormous potential – whether you’re seeking a character cottage to refurbish and enjoy with its extensive gardens, or a development project combining the refurbishment of the existing dwelling with the creation of an additional new home.
The existing cottage is in need of complete refurbishment but already benefits from planning consent for a ground floor extension, designed to greatly enhance the living space. As it stands, the accommodation comprises a sitting room, kitchen/breakfast room and shower room on the ground floor, with two double bedrooms upstairs. The approved plans reimagine the layout to include a spacious dual-aspect lounge with access to the garden, a generous kitchen/breakfast room, utility room, bathroom and side porch, while retaining the two double bedrooms on the first floor.
A true highlight of this property is the wonderful garden, unusually large for a cottage of this size and backing onto open countryside. Beautifully planted with mature trees and shrubs, it offers exceptional privacy and a real sense of tranquility. The garden is arranged in two main sections – one directly accessed from the cottage with a useful block-built outhouse, and a further area beyond, currently home to a dilapidated greenhouse, which would lend itself perfectly to a productive kitchen garden or further landscaping.
To the North of the cottage, the building plot has planning permission granted for a detached, two-storey dwelling of approximately 101.85 sq. metres, or could simply be utilised as part of the garden.
