About this property

This stunning and unique converted cow byre is situated within 2 miles of Helston. Detached and secluded from the owners' residence the property provides a romantic couples retreat. The interior is spread over three levels, with wood or brick flooring, high vaulted ceilings with lofted timber beams, a central brick feature fireplace and a superb mezzanine bedroom. The entrance leads into the open plan living area and seven steps on a curving semi-spiral staircase up to the mezzanine bedroom with feature brick wall and wood flooring. Steps from the living area leads you to the ground floor and the tastefully fitted kitchen with stone tiles and door of to the shower room. The sitting area has a traditional wood burner within a brick feature fireplace, a dining area and doors opening to a patio which leads onto a beautiful garden, which has a mixture of lawn, paths, pond and so much more. Artists and photographers alike will take pleasure in wandering through the owners' woods and picturesque gardens that are vibrant with colour from a profusion of lush planting. Helston is lovely market town to explore. A great position for exploring south Cornwall. Porthleven is just a 10 minute drive with its lovely harbour, fishing boats, fine restaurants, bespoke shops and the beach. You are also within a 30 minute drive to Falmouth, The Lizard and Penzance all of which have lots to see and do. There are some lovely coves and sheltered beaches along the stretch of coast from Porthleven to Penzance or start the coastal path from Loe Bar. A perfect cottage which is ideally situated to explore Cornwall although when you stay at the Summer House you may not want to leave it.

Helston lies at the western gateway to the Lizard Peninsula, where there is lots to explore, from quaint traditional fishing villages to a spectacular coastline and some forgotten coves and beaches.
