CA001: Chynhale Cottages is in the rural hamlet of Chynhale, near Helston. It has the warmth of a traditional Cornish cottage and the space and light of a family home: a welcoming living room, a rustic country kitchen and a conservatory opening onto the garden. Outside is a large wrap-around garden with an allotment, glass greenhouses and a built-in barbecue.

Ground floor
The front door opens into a beautiful living room. A fireplace with a wood burner sets the tone for quiet evenings in, and the staircase rises to the first floor. Beneath the stairs, the room leads through to a classic country kitchen full of rustic character. To the right, an opening leads to a light-filled conservatory with a dining area and doors to the garden, a natural setting for summer meals and year-round entertaining. To the left of the kitchen are a pantry and a separate larder. These give practical storage and a home for the washing machine and utilities, and have a second door out to the garden.

First floor
The first door on the left is a country-style bathroom with a bath, shower and WC. At the top of the landing is a double bedroom with very large windows that fill the room with bright, airy light. Turning right along the hallway, a single bedroom looks out to the front of the property. At the end of the corridor is the main bedroom, a light double with a bay window to the front.

Outside
The garden is the heart of this home. It is large and wraps around the cottage, with an allotment for growing your own and outbuildings that include glass greenhouses. At the back is a seating area with a built-in barbecue, ideal for long summer evenings.

For buyers looking for space, character and a slower, more self-sufficient way of life in west Cornwall, this is a rare opportunity. Viewings by appointment.
