properties, especially in such a tranquil location, not effected by any road noise yet amazingly Helston is only about 5 minutes’ drive away. The property has been well cared for and significantly improved during our clients’ ownership and is now very well presented indeed. The accommodation is loosely divided as a large two bedroomed cottage and integral three bedroomed barn conversion which create a horseshoe around a courtyard. The buildings have a most appealing look with exposed granite quoins and lintels with some exposed stone elevations, all under slate roofs. The double fronted cottage has matching brick chimneys to either side of its roof line and it faces south down the valley towards woodland and open fields. The current arrangement is for multi generation living but it would also seem that the property could be adapted to be used as one large house for a family as there is already an interconnecting door. Attached to the converted barn, and also with a door opening through to it is a block built run of three large stables that are also

Ref: LCAA7876 4

under the same slate roof which opens up the possibility of incorporating them into the accommodation as there is plenty of space to create additional stables within the grounds, subject to all necessary consents. Higher Roseawen is approached over a very long but well made up drive that is shared with neighbouring landowners. A private drive leads off the end of this and culminates at a generous parking area with access to the garage and the corral in front of the stables, to the other side of which is a further area of hardstanding and a dog kennels. Along the side of the drive and around the gardens is a beautiful meandering stream set to the backdrop of numerous trees and shrubs. A picturesque garden is found in front of the cottage with the remainder of the grounds being in two larger paddocks, two smaller paddocks and woodland. Within one of the fields is a former sand school which has the potential to be resurrected and there is also an extensive chicken run which would also seem well positioned for the growing of vegetables and fruit. The grounds surrounding the property extend to about 6 acres and give it privacy and control over the immediate surroundings.

LOCATION Higher Roseawen is believed to have formerly part of the beautiful 750 acre Trevarno Estate. The hamlet of Sithney Green is a delightful, unspoilt and historic pocket of Cornwall with a timeless calming atmosphere. It is hard to believe that the area’s main town, Helston, is only about 3 miles away.

Ref: LCAA7876 5

Helston is an historic market town with beautiful leats running along the edges of the town centre streets and past many historic buildings. Within the town there are many local and national retailers with larger supermarkets and a trading estate on the outskirts. Within the town is schooling up to college level and there is also a sports centre with swimming pool. The surrounding area is very beautiful and unspoilt with two national trust properties nearby at Godolphin House where there are woodland and hilltop walks with amazing views to the south coast and the Penrose Estate also has many beautiful walks around Loe Pool and out to Porthleven Sands beach. The village of Porthleven is only about 5 miles away and is set around a delightful harbourside with a famous pier and clock tower at the entrance. The village has become a gastronomic hub and includes a Rick Stein restaurant. There are many more wonderful walks along the South West Coast Path over towering headlands and along sandy beaches on the way towards Mounts Bay and St Michael’s Mount at Marazion in the west. To the east and south is the Lizard Peninsula and Helford River with treelined valleys leading down to its creeks.

GARDENS AND GROUNDS

The property is approached over a long shared access lane with no other houses along it and only access into woodland and fields. The last section of the lane only leads to Higher Roseawen as it leads through trees, looking across fields and at the end of the lane a double pair of gates open onto a wide gravel driveway with lawns, trees and shrubs to either side. The cottage and barn come into view at the end of the drive and to the left hand side there is a pond fed by the stream running along the edge of the grounds. As one approaches the cottage the stream can be clearly seen on the left hand side with a weeping willow hanging over it and an open area of paddock to the right with a grass drive leading up to the field along the eastern boundary. To the western side is the beauty of numerous interesting trees and shrubs set beside the beautiful stream which is well below the height of any of the buildings. A granite bridge leads over the stream to a small area of lawn on the other side making for a very picturesque and completely private setting.

Ref: LCAA7876 11

The gravelled driveway culminates at a large parking and turning area with box hedging around larger shrubs and beds across the face of the courtyard between the wings of the buildings. The drive then leads through a wide metal gate to the corral in front of the stables with a further matching gate then opening to the land to the north. Beside the corral is a fenced in dog run with small timber stables for dogs to live in, although this area could just as easily be used for other animals or smaller horses.

To the front of the cottage is a picturesque lawned garden with walled sides and a gate leading between granite piers. There are beautiful southerly views from here down over the grounds and above this, to the east of the cottage and barn, is a further good sized lawn/small paddock with a treelined hedge dividing it from the fields beyond. The fields surround the property on three sides with an open field to the front currently used as additional open lawn. Along the edge of this is a fenced in former chicken run and this area could also be perfect for growing vegetables and fruits. Various accesses lead into the fields along the east and northern sides and to the north one will also find a sizeable area of woodland. In all the grounds extend to about 6 acres.
