3 bed cottage for sale

The Cove, Coverack, Helston TR12

Enviably nestled in the heart of the charming coastal village of Coverack, is this exceptional three bedroom character cottage with off road parking, delightful landscaped gardens to the rear and elevated sea views to Coverack bay and beyond.

Tastefully enhanced during our owners tenure the semi-detached cottage has firmly retained its soul, with a wealth of character features including a striking feature fireplace, beamed ceilings, slate flooring and authentic exposed stone work. These are seamlessly complemented by a stylish, contemporary, open plan living space with underfloor heating and a stunning sun room with oak beams, a vaulted ceiling and doors opening out invitingly into a sheltered patio area - perfect for morning coffee or an ‘al fresco’ lunch.

The heart of the home is the stunning open plan living space that effortlessly blends the kitchen, dining and lounge areas. A luxuriously appointed kitchen features quartz worktops, a double Belfast sink and an array of stylish drawers and cupboards. The lounge invites cosy evenings beside the wood burning stove and enjoys an outlook towards Coverack bay beyond neighbouring properties.

A ground floor double bedroom with sea glimpses and an adjacent shower room would seem ideal for guests, whilst the versatile study area could easily enable working from home to become a reality.

Upstairs, the master double bedroom enjoys views out towards the sea and benefits from a private en-suite shower and cloakroom, whilst there is a further double bedroom with views towards Coverack bay. The family bathroom is nicely appointed with a crisp white suite and metro tiling.

Outside the tiered rear garden is a delight. Enclosed by mature hedging and a Cornish stone wall, the garden is well tended and beautifully landscaped being laid largely to lawn. Elevated patio areas and decking provide the perfect place to sit out and relax or entertain and enjoy the elevated sea views and coastal backdrop.

The summerhouse is aptly positioned and benefits from wood flooring, power and light, offering versatility as a studio or work space.

With solar panels for hot water and underfloor heating to the ground floor, Ivy Cottage exudes character, but with all the comforts of modern living.

The accommodation in brief comprises an entrance hallway, shower room, open plan kitchen/dining room/lounge, sun room, study, three bedrooms (master en-suite) and a family bathroom.

Coverack itself is a Cornish fishing village situated on the Lizard Peninsula, which has been designated as an area of outstanding natural beauty. The Cove itself has a lovely sandy beach which is a popular centre for water sports that include windsurfing, stand-up paddle boarding, sailing and diving. There is an attractive harbour from which a small fleet of traditional fishing boats operate and land their daily catch. There is a public house, restaurants, a shop selling local produce and a primary school.

St Keverne village is a short drive away and has a number of shops, including a butcher's and doctor's surgery, whilst comprehensive schooling can be found in the nearby village of Mullion. The bustling market town of Helston, which has more extensive amenities including national stores and supermarkets, is some eight miles distant.
