About this property
Nestled in the centre of the thriving town of Helston on Cornwall's Lizard Peninsula is this welcoming, mid-terrace cottage of Meneage House. Offering a family of six a wonderful home-from-home that is set over three floors, Meneage House rests moments away from a plethora of South West Cornwall's delightful sights. After parking up on the street outside, or in a nearby car park, make your way inside to be welcomed by an entrance hall that features a quirky dog nook, so your canine companion(s) can unwind in their quiet, tucked-away space. After a busy day of explorations, you'll be delighted to uncover the open-plan's Chesterfield sofas, allowing you to stretch out and unwind in front of the TV. When you're feeling a little peckish, make your way over to the kitchen, a delightful spot enjoying vibrant shaker-style cabinets and a range of colour-coordinated appliances. Once the designated chef of the group has prepared a delicious meal here, enjoy it at the sleek dining table; alternatively, you can enjoy it out on the private decking on sunny days. As the day winds to an end, head to the utility and throw any sandy clothing into the washing machine and head upstairs to the first floor. On this floor, you'll be happy to find two elegantly decorated double bedrooms, one of which enjoys its own sitting area with views of the street below. Further along the landing, you'll discover a spacious shower room, where a range of contemporary fittings, mosaic flooring and metro tiling can be found. Ascend the stairs again to the second floor, where those who would like a little privacy can discover another double bedroom enjoying access to an en-suite shower room. Get to know the town of Helston by venturing out and enjoying a bite to eat at one of the fantastic eateries which have made the place their own, including The Waffle Factory and Henlys; the town is also home to the renowned Flambards Theme Park, perfect for all the family, as well as being near the iconic Helston Railway. Why not spend the day on the coast and travel down to Porthleven, where a sandy beach, the breathtaking National Trust property of Penrose and the idyllic Porthleven Harbour await? Journey further afield to Falmouth, a bustling town packed with vibrant residences, as well as hosting the National Maritime Museum, Pendennis Castle and Swanpool Beach.
