About
A Rare Opportunity in the Heart of Helford Village with Stunning River Views An exciting opportunity to acquire a substantial Grade II Listed three bedroom property in the heart of the highly sought-after Helford Village, enjoying fantastic views across the Helford River and offering enormous potential for someone looking to create a truly special home.
Whilst the property is now in need of updating and modernisation, it offers excellent proportions and a wealth of potential.
The ground floor provides a generous kitchen/breakfast room with a useful walk-in pantry, together with a large and welcoming lounge featuring a log burner, providing a lovely focal point.
Upstairs are three well-proportioned bedrooms, all of a good size, together with a family bathroom and separate WC. The gardens are undoubtedly one of the property's most appealing features.
Generous in size and arranged tiered areas, they enjoy some wonderful elevated views across the surrounding countryside and the Helford River.
We understand that, many years ago, the previous owner ran a tea garden from the property, adding an interesting piece of local history and highlighting the potential offered by this fantastic outside space (subject to any necessary consents).
At the top of the garden there is gated access providing parking, together with a dilapidated shed which could potentially offer further possibilities again subject to any necessary consents.
Properties like this in Helford Village rarely become available and opportunities offering this combination of space, gardens, views and potential in such a prominent location are particularly unusual.
Helford is renowned for its famed sailing waters, beautiful setting, peaceful atmosphere and exclusive appeal, making this a fantastic opportunity to create a wonderful home in one of Cornwall's most desirable locations.
