A skilfully extended seaside bungalow, comfortable and stylish, convenient for Rock’s facilities and within easy reach of the sea.

Description

This attractive bungalow, the epitome of a simple, seaside residence, reveals a great deal more once past the front hall. It has been extended to create a modern, naturally light, comfortable, open plan space where the interior opens to the garden patio at the rear, for maximum enjoyment of its sunny, private position.

The front door opens into the hall from which all four bedrooms are accessed. Two double bedrooms overlook the front entrance, one with built in storage; another double room is to the left of the hall, while the principal bedroom is spacious, has built in storage and a nicely presented en suite, with a heated towel rail. Across the hall is the family bathroom, smartly tiled and with a large freestanding shower and heated towel rail. Adjacent is the technical cupboard housing the underfloor heating system and large water tank.

Double doors open into a very different scale of architecture. With high ceilings and wide bifold doors on two sides, the open plan living area is light and airy and exceedingly inviting.
The kitchen, a bright, practical space, is fully fitted with all necessary appliances and plenty of cupboards and deep drawer storage. A large family sized dining table is easily accommodated within the room which has a south facing aspect, therefore perfect for opening onto the patio and garden for indoor/outdoor living.

The large sitting area is a welcoming, comfortable space, with its big, slouchy sofas and an inset Stüv wood burner for highly effective heating. Also, the whole western aspect of the room opens onto the patio and garden, again, allowing the interior and exterior to merge. The décor throughout this open plan area is attractively contrasting white painted walls with dark grey porcelain Italian floor tiles. This theme continues to the rear entrance, a well-appointed utility room and wet room with WC. The utility has an extra-large Belfast sink (handy for rinsing wet suits or preparing large fish for the barbecue!), and also houses the boiler (installed December 2022). The entire extended part of the house is underfloor heated.

A double -gated entrance from Rock Road opens to a level, wrap-around garden which makes for easy maintenance and provides plenty of parking space on the gravel drive at the front, as well as hard standing for a boat to the side or in the rear garden. Gates to the side and surrounding hedges provide security for pets and children as well as privacy. A large garden shed occupies a corner, with the larger part of the garden laid to lawn and a generous slate patio extending from the open plan reception areas.

The village of Rock, set on the edge of the beautiful Camel Estuary in North Cornwall, has for generations been one of the most sought after villages in the South West, with many families returning year on year as a holiday destination, whilst more recently many are choosing to make it their permanent home

The sheltered waters of the River Camel provide a haven for water-skiing, windsurfing and sailing. The village has an active sailing and water skiing club, founded in 1938 and there are also sailing and water ski schools, with tender services and mooring available from the Padstow Harbour Commissioners.

At low tide over a mile of sand stretches from Rock to Daymer Bay which is popular with younger families, while a little further on Polzeath is pounded by Atlantic rollers and preferred by surfers. For walkers, the coastal scenery is spectacular, especially in the spring when the cliffs are carpeted with wild flowers.
