GUIDE PRICE - £500,000
LOCATION
This graceful Grade II listed property, whilst Georgian in appearance is very early Victorian thought to date from the early 1840 s. At the heart of the town centre the property is the closest dwelling to The Monument from which it takes it s name. Historically the property is thought once to have been used as a base office for a local military regiment after which it was in the ownership of a prominent local family for many years before passing to the present owners.
Helston is famed for its historic Flora Day celebrations on 8th May when the town is bedecked with greenery, bluebells and gorse and throughout the day dancers weave in and out of shops, houses and gardens following the Helston Town Band playing the famous Floral Dance and ushering in the Summer. The location affords this property one of the best views of the Flora Day proceedings in town with the Hal an Tow being performed directly outside and the vantage points from the upstairs windows allowing a view of the dancers progressing around the bowling green and through the momument arch that is second to none. Helston was granted its charter in 1201 and was originally a thriving port. However, as the river silted up over the years, the port gradually ceased to be. Where the river joined the sea is now Cornwall s largest freshwater lake, separated from the sea by Loe Bar, a long sand bar. The bustling market town hosts a mixture of Victorian and Georgian architecture of which this property is a fine example.
The modern town and surrounding area boast many Primary Schools. The nearest secondary schools are in Helston and Mullion. Helston also enjoys a leisure centre with a swimming pool and large gym and many amenity areas including the Coronation Boating Lake and the beautiful National Trust Penrose Estate offering a host of woodland walks. Helston is widely regarded as the gateway to the stunning Lizard Peninsula and is also within a 10 minute drive of the thriving harbour and coastline at Porthleven which offers an array of shops and good quality restaurants as well as world class surf. The city of Truro and the towns of Falmouth, Penzance and Hayle are all within a 20 to 30 minute drive.
ACCOMMODATION
As you step inside, you are greeted by an atmosphere of grandeur and sophistication. The house has been sympathetically renovated, preserving its original character while offering spacious and versatile accommodation for contemporary living. The generously proportioned rooms boast wonderfully high ceilings and large, beautiful windows that frame views of the Monument, the bowling green, the boating lake, the town, as well as the distant countryside.
The ground floor of the house is a perfect blend of elegance and functionality. Two reception rooms at the front of the house provide ample space for both relaxation and formal entertaining. Whether you prefer a cosy sitting room or a formal dining area, this home accommodates your every need. Additionally, there's a snug that can be transformed into a multi-media room or a home office, or is also perfect for anyone needing a ground floor or occasional bedroom.
The kitchen is a cooks dream whilst at the same time being a social space thanks to the central island unit. Beautifully fitted and stylish, complete with integrated appliances and a fabulous modern walk-in larder cupboard every need has been thought of. To the rear of the property, a morning room, utility area, storage space, cloakroom, and shower room offer further convenience and practicality.
Ascending the gracious staircase to the first floor, you'll find a hugely spacious landing leading to three bedrooms and the family bathroom. The master bedroom is a lavish retreat, offering dual aspects and ample space. Two more large double bedrooms provide comfort and elegance, each enjoying attractive views of the surroundings. The bathroom is a masterpiece of luxury, featuring a large walk-in shower with a drench head, as well as a spacious free-standing tub in which to soak away the stresses of the day with the room completed by a w.c. and his and hers sinks.
