Tucked down a quiet no-through lane in the centre of Helston, this end-terrace stone cottage offers compact, characterful living with a private walled garden. Original features such as exposed beams, timber floorboards and a traditional fireplace give the interior period charm that’s increasingly rare in town-centre homes. The property is chain free, making it straightforward for a quick purchase or relocation.
Accommodation is modest and well suited to a single person, couple or someone looking to downsize. The layout includes an open-plan living/dining room, a fitted galley kitchen and a principal bedroom with built-in storage. The plot is small but private, with a gravelled courtyard and a vintage outbuilding that provide usable outdoor space without extensive maintenance.
Practical details: the home is gas centrally heated via a boiler and radiators, sold Freehold, with council tax described as very low. The EPC rating is E and the stone walls are likely uninsulated, so buyers should expect higher-than-modern running costs and potential improvement work for insulation and energy efficiency. The kitchen and bathroom appear well maintained but may benefit from minor modernisation depending on buyer standards.
This cottage will appeal to downsizers or buyers seeking an affordable, character-rich base in a lively town location with excellent mobile and fast broadband. It’s also a plausible buy-to-let opportunity, though investors should budget for energy-efficiency improvements to raise the EPC and long-term rental appeal.
