Constantine

A glorious double fronted 2 bedroom cottage, lovingly and thoroughly restored by the current owners, boasting period features throughout and offering a central position within this hugely sought-after village. Our clients have excellent taste, evidently displayed throughout this property – since acquiring the property, they have sympathetically renovated the building, to include: stripping back the granite walls and rendering in lime, replacement of hardwood double glazed sash windows, instalment of Positive Input Ventilation, underfloor heating in the bathroom, a gravity boost pump, solar thermal panels supplying the hot water and solar PV, and the construction and erection of a fully insulated, electric powered garden studio/office – ideal for those seeking a ‘work from home’ environment or additional space for visitors.

The Location - Constantine is an extremely well served village with excellent day-to-day amenities including two village stores (one with a renowned off licence), community hall (The Tolmen Centre), public house, social club, church and highly regarded county primary school. The nearby creeks and villages of Gweek and Port Navas are within a few minutes’ drive, as is the village of Mawnan Smith, sub-tropical gardens at Trebah and Glendurgan, picturesque walks along the beautiful tree-lined creeks of the Helford River, and the sandy coves and beaches along the nearby South West Coast Path. The market town of Helston is approximately six miles distant, the port of Falmouth approximately seven miles, and the cathedral city of Truro, the county's legal, administrative, retailing and commercial centre, is no more than a thirty-minute drive away.
