St. KeverneHelston, Cornwall, TR12 6RE

Spring Cottage, located in the hamlet of Lanarth and surrounded by grazing fields, was once part of the Lanarth Estate and has a rich history. The origins of the cottage date back 300 years but was totally rebuilt 100 years ago, resulting in larger rooms and taller ceilings. Spring Cottage has been in private ownership for many years with previous owners being no less a Captain of the QEII and an accountant of the great train robbers! The current owner has been in residence for over eight years and has enhanced both the house and gardens creating a delightful home set in a most serene location.
