A two-bedroom mid-20th-century terraced home offering solid bones and excellent location close to Helston town centre and local schools. The property is freehold, set over two floors, and benefits from both front and rear gardens with a patio and two outbuildings — one formerly used as an aviary. Broadband and mobile signals are reported strong, and Council Tax is Band A, making running costs very low.
The house requires full modernisation throughout: dated interiors, worn finishes and evidence the owner believes there may be damp in places. The layout is traditional and practical (entrance area, kitchen, lounge, sitting room, two bedrooms and family bathroom) which will suit buyers wanting to refurbish to their own taste or investors seeking rental potential after renovation. Plot size is small and gardens are modest but manageable, with a useful patio ideal for outside dining.
Location is a key strength: Helston’s town centre, schools (including a Good-rated secondary), leisure facilities, and the Penrose Estate are all nearby, while the Lizard Peninsula and Porthleven coast are within a short drive. Buyers should note the sale is being handled by a person with power of attorney who has limited knowledge of the property, so some details may need independent verification.
In summary, this is a budget-friendly freehold opportunity for a first-time buyer or small-scale investor ready to invest time and money into modernisation. Expect straightforward renovation works rather than structural remodelling, but budget for remedial works where damp is suspected and general updating throughout.
