A charming Grade II listed thatched cottage dating from the 18th century, tucked into the peaceful hamlet of St Hilary. The house retains period character—thatch roof, small‑paned windows and cob walls—set in a mature, well‑established garden that offers privacy and outdoor amenity. Its position close to Marazion and the coast gives easy access to Mounts Bay and local schools.
Internally the layout is compact but practical: a large lounge, separate dining room, kitchen, utility/wet room, ground‑floor bathroom and three modest bedrooms upstairs. The property extends to about 950 sq ft and suits a small family or someone seeking a character holiday home or letting investment. Broadband speeds are fast and the area has low crime and no flood risk.
Buyers should note the listed status and construction details mean repairs and changes will require listed‑building consent; thatch and cob walls need specialist maintenance. Heating runs from an LPG boiler and bottles, which has ongoing supply costs. While the plot is large and private, interior space is modest and there is a single bathroom, so expect some modernisation to meet contemporary family needs.
This cottage offers rare character and a secluded setting for buyers who value history and atmosphere. It will appeal to purchasers prepared to manage listed‑building responsibilities and maintenance in exchange for a picturesque, period home close to Cornwall’s coast.
