2 bed country house for sale

Granny Polly Lane, Ashton, Helston TR13

Tucked away along a private lane near Godolphin, this enchanting detached two bedroom cottage offers a rare chance to embrace a slower, more meaningful way of life, surrounded by nature, privacy and timeless Cornish beauty.

From the moment you arrive, there is an undeniable sense of calm. The cottage itself is full of character and warmth, with a charmingly rustic feel that perfectly complements its idyllic setting. At the heart of the home is a farmhouse style kitchen, beautifully finished with duck egg blue shaker cabinetry and a Rayburn creating a space that feels both welcoming and effortlessly traditional. The cosy sitting room, centred around a log burner, is perfect for quiet evenings, while a second reception room with French doors opening to the garden offers wonderful flexibility, ideal as a dining room, home office or occasional guest bedroom.

The ground floor also features a stylish bathroom, complete with a walk in shower and a freestanding claw foot bath, as well as a useful cloakroom. Upstairs, two generous double bedrooms provide for comfortable accommodation, each enjoying views over the surrounding gardens.

The true magic, however, lies beyond the cottage walls. Set within grounds approaching two acres, the outside space is nothing short of extraordinary. Immediately surrounding the property are charming gardens and a lawn which, in May, transforms into a breathtaking carpet of bluebells. A wooded path leads you down to a productive garden area with raised beds and a greenhouse, framed by mature trees that offer welcome shade during the summer months, a perfect setting for those seeking a more self-sufficient lifestyle. Beyond this lies a further walled wooded area, adding yet more character, privacy and potential.

Whether you dream of growing your own produce, creating a tranquil retreat, or simply owning a secluded slice of the Cornish countryside, this property offers endless possibilities.

Despite its peaceful and tucked away setting, the cottage remains well connected, with easy access to Helston, Penzance and Hayle, as well as both the North and South coasts. The surrounding area is rich in natural beauty and heritage, with Godolphin Woods, Godolphin Hill and the historic Godolphin House all close by.

A truly special home, offering charm, seclusion and a lifestyle that is increasingly hard to find.
