SETTING THE SCENE
Higher Redallon lies in an area of unspoilt countryside to the north west of Helston, and roughly halfway between Porthleven harbour on the south coast and Hayle harbour on the north coast.
The villages of Godolphin Cross and Nancegollan are both about a mile away, as is the historic National Trust-owned Godolphin House.
With a large catchment area, the former market town of Helston has several supermarkets, primary schools and a secondary school with sixth form and sports centre with 25m swimming pool. Rich in Georgian architecture, Helston's Cross Street always ranks as one of the prettiest streets in Cornwall. The town is also the 'gateway' to the Lizard Peninsula, with its many beautiful coves and beaches.
THE TOUR
Higher Redallon, built in 2013 in a New England-style, features a modern, energy-efficient design with attractive timber-clad elevations under a slate roof. The south-facing elevation includes a glazed overhang, raised veranda, and central door to maximise natural light. A substantial German-style stone chimney stack anchors the west wing and is designed to enable smoke-free open fires. Traditional timber casement windows, doors, and exposed floorboards complete this unique property's look and feel.
In brief the superb accommodation includes an impressive double-height reception hall with galleried landing above forming the central section of the house. The generous drawing room with distant views is double aspect with a door to the garden and has a part vaulted ceiling providing a good feeling of space and light with a substantial chimney breast housing an open fire with slate hearth. An exceptionally large triple-aspect family kitchen-dining room comprises an extensive range of cupboards and drawers, a double sink with granite work surfaces to each side and a range of integrated appliances. Two ground floor double bedrooms (one currently used as a study) share a well appointed family bathroom while the first floor is home to a double aspect main suite with views, dressing room and en suite bathroom plus a guest Bedroom with distant views and a well fitted shower room.
STEP OUTSIDE
To the rear of the house there is a useful detached garage/studio building with ground floor shower room and a utility/plant room. A staircase from the lobby rises to a first floor cinema/media room with storage voids beyond above the garage.
The informal grounds surrounding the house are designed as a natural wild garden with mown paths. To the rear, off the drawing room, is a covered veranda leading to a spacious paved terrace—ideal for al fresco dining with uninterrupted views—adjacent to an enclosed lawn. The garden includes a vegetable patch and a rose area for cut flowers. A former dairy parlour, now a concrete block store with water and electricity, offers potential for conversion to a studio or annexe (subject to planning). Beyond lies a level lawn and a habitable static caravan.
The land consists of gently sloping meadows, separated by mature hedgerows and rich in native wildlife, totalling approximately 16.11 acres.
