May highlights
Some gorgeous sunny spells and lots of rain have seen Cornwall’s gardens and hedgerows verdant and bursting into bloom. Late spring and early summer is possibly the most beautiful time of here in the Duchy and we’ve been finding time to enjoy it. We’ve also been very busy with some of the finest properties we’ve ever encountered passing through our hands in May. As always, we have some fabulous Cornish property available for sale and long lists of eager buyers, so if you’re thinking about buying or selling a house in Cornwall, please do get in touch.
Property for sale in Cornwall
Between Falmouth and Helston in Seworgan we were delighted to list a truly outstanding Cornish gem: a beautifully renovated and extended farmhouse set within professionally landscaped gardens (complete with a hot tub). This is one of the best village homes we’ve handled in recent years. With exceptional quality and attention to detail throughout, this delightful Cornish property is sure to delight: a master bedroom suite is complemented by three additional bedrooms while a home office/garden room offers the potential for a guest suite. Full of character, light and space and conveniently located for Falmouth and Helston, this is beautiful slice of hamlet living that doesn’t come around often.
In Flushing – one of our favourite waterside villages – we have a fabulous double-fronted townhouse with over 1,600 sq ft (including the garage) and a great view across the water to Falmouth from its terraces. The End House offers truly versatile accommodation updated to a high standard with thoughtful renovation, sunny terraces from which to enjoy the views, and even a garage (a rarity in Flushing).
In Sennen Cove, we listed Breakwater, an outstanding coastal retreat with breathtaking sea views across miles of open water. A spacious, open plan kitchen/dining/sitting room enjoys sea views and lots of light with floor-to-ceiling panoramic windows, and five impeccably arranged bedrooms provide light-filled accommodation over three floors. This property offers plenty of outdoor space to soak in the surroundings, including a full width balcony accessed from the main living rooms as well as a separate dining terrace, hot tub and seating area and a level area of lawn.
