Description

This detached country cottage, referred to as Wheal Vrose Cottage, presents a unique opportunity for those looking to invest in a renovation project. Set against a stunning backdrop of rolling countryside and positioned on approximately 14 acres of land, this property offers immense potential for transformation. Currently in need of complete refurbishment, the cottage features traditional stone elevations beneath a pitched roof and includes outbuildings such as a barn and stables that could be repurposed or extended (subject to necessary planning permissions). The interior layout consists of a breakfast room with solid fuel stove, galley kitchen, sitting room, bathroom, and upstairs two double bedrooms along with a smaller box room with restricted headroom. With its elevated location granting panoramic views over the Cornish landscape—including the coastline and surrounding hills—this property is perfect for those seeking a rural retreat or investment opportunity. The grounds are suitable for livestock grazing or could serve as an attractive wildlife habitat. Although situated off an unmade track, its isolation offers peace and tranquility while being conveniently located near the village of Crowntown and Helston's amenities. Remarkably priced for its size and potential, Wheal Vrose Cottage beckons visionaries ready to restore it to its former glory.
