Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
Set in a secluded spot within twenty acres, this upside-down home makes the most of the countryside vistas and will have you itching to get out to explore. While a car is necessary for travelling further afield, there are walks from your doorstep here or you can take a ride on the Helston Railway to soak up the scenery – it’ll stop at the bottom of the garden for you. After a day spent exploring the coastline, return home and pop the complimentary homemade fish pie in the Aga for the perfect dinnertime treat.
