Location
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 early morning dance, a favourite of many Helstonians passes this property providing a perfect viewing spot! 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 rich mixture of historic buildings of which this home 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.
