The Property

This is a rare opportunity to purchase a desirable detached bungalow with adjoining land in a favoured residential locality, and we wholeheartedly recommend arranging a viewing appointment to appreciate the opportunity.
The Accommodation
South-west facing sliding patio doors with views over the front lawn, and to surrounding countryside leads to sitting room/dining room, which leads through to the fitted kitchen, comprising a good range of floor and wall mounted drawers and cupboards with 1½ bowl stainless steel sink and drainer unit, complimentary ceramic tiling, space for cooker, extractor fan, tiled floor, fully glazed double doors flanked by side widows to rear patio area. An internal part glazed door to the inner hall leads to three double bedrooms and a single bedroom, family bathroom/shower room and separate WC. The family bathroom/shower room has obscure glazed window, heated towel rail, tiled floor and wash handbasin set in vanity unit, loft access Hatch.

Outside
From the council road, a well maintained tarmacadamed driveway sweeps to a good-sized vehicular parking area adjacent to the detached garage. An attractive front lawn is complemented by well-established borders containing several flowering shrubs including rhododendron, dianthus, mock orange, lavender, and escallonia.

To the rear of the property, a secluded paved patio provides a delightful, sitting out area, with steps leading to higher levels of landscaped, gently sloping lawn, which leads to an established orchard including four Bramley apple trees and a pear tree, among others.

Shed (9' x 7') timber construction, power, and light connected, sloping felted roof, window to front.

The Land
The land is currently laid to grass with a gentle north westerly aspect and is in a quiet situation away from traffic. It has several uses, including grazing land for animals including ponies, growing or amenity. A separate agricultural right of access to the land, suitable for a small tractor, exists adjacent to the Chapel on Chapel Hill.

The two main rectangular shaped meadows extend to around 8 acres, being laid to grass and enclosed by traditional Cornish hedges that are well trimmed. The larger 6.1 acre field has a dilapidated field shelter/hay store in the southern corner and is situated in an elevated position providing good countryside and distant sea views towards Porthtowan Beach.
