The Property

Set within the secluded Cober Valley near Helston, Harveys House represents an unusual opportunity to acquire a characterful three-bedroom detached cottage together with an extensive and varied parcel of land incorporating woodland, former paddocks and productive areas. Thoughtfully renovated by the current owners, the cottage has been successfully established as a holiday let and provides the opportunity to continue an existing income stream. Equally, its character, setting and surrounding land make it an appealing proposition as a permanent country home or second home.

Harveys House combines traditional features with comfortable modern living, with exposed beams, vaulted ceilings and well-designed, light-filled accommodation throughout. The open-plan kitchen and sitting room, complete with log-burning stove, provides a welcoming and sociable principal living area. Three individually styled bedrooms provide flexible accommodation, including one with a distinctive mezzanine level. The thoughtful renovation and attention to detail throughout reflect the care taken by the current owners to create a warm and inviting cottage.

Beyond the immediate garden, the land forms a particularly significant part of the offering, extending through a varied mixture of open ground, former paddocks, established woodland and productive areas.

The varied environment provides a haven for wildlife, with deer, owls, bats, dragonflies, butterflies and numerous native bird species regularly seen throughout the grounds and surrounding valley.
