Character property with shop, flat and renovation cottage — strong rental potential.
Grade II listed terraced building in Helston town centre
A rare mixed-use opportunity in central Helston: a Grade II listed terraced building with a ground-floor former office/shop, a spacious three-bedroom first-floor flat and an attached one-bedroom cottage to the rear. The property occupies a prominent pedestrian street near town amenities and offers a private paved courtyard — useful for tenants or a small outside seating area.
The flat is generous in footprint with period features such as plaster cornices, picture rails and bay windows. Bedroom three and an adjoining room sit under a canopied, beamed roof with limited headroom — suited to storage, occasional use or conversion with care. The rear cottage is habitable but requires full renovation, including fitting of a shower and general modernisation.
This building suits an investor or business owner wanting a live-work setup, or a landlord seeking multiple income streams from shop, flat and cottage. Important constraints: the house is Grade II listed and lies in a conservation area, which will restrict alterations and add consent requirements and costs. The property is sold freehold and benefits from mains gas, water, electricity and drainage, but the shop is classed as business for council tax and the flat and cottage are in separate council tax bands.
Material negatives are clear: the cottage needs renovation, some rooms have restricted headroom, and listed-status works will complicate structural or cosmetic changes. Prospective buyers should budget for listed-consent processes and renovation works before occupation or re-letting. For the right purchaser this is a character-rich, flexible investment in a busy market town location.
