Property description & features

  • Tenure: Freehold
  • An interesting and quirky detached bungalow
  • In need of restoration or re-developing
  • Set in a lightly wooded valley
  • Being sold with 'no onward chain'
  • Clear Mundic Block Test (Class A1 2023)
  • Two reception rooms, kitchen and utility room
  • Two bedrooms, bathroom and wc
  • Large terrace, unkempt gardens

  • Walking distance to the town, station and university
An exciting opportunity to acquire this QUIRKY OLDER STYLE TWO BEDROOM DETACHED BUNGALOW which is set in a LIGHTLY WOODED LOCATION, in a quiet leafy valley and in need of complete restoration or perhaps re-developing, subject to the required planning permission and building regulation approval.

This older style detached bungalow has a clear Mundic Block Test (Class A1) which was carried out in April 2023 and offers a potential buyer with imagination and a budget to match, the chance to create something rather special on this secluded plot.

The property sits on raised foundations and has a somewhat unconventional shape and layout plus a wide sun terrace across the front elevations overlooking the gardens.

The accommodation in brief includes a sitting room, separate dining room, a kitchen with an old mains gas fired Aga range (no tested), two bedrooms and a bathroom/wc. Outside the bungalow sits a detached double garage and parking for two vehicles in the driveway and finally, the property is surrounded by secluded gardens which are in need of cultivation and landscaping.

St Catherines is within a short walk to Falmouth University (Tremough Campus) and a longer stroll to Penryn branch line station which connects to Falmouth town centre to the East and Truro to the West and the town centre.

As time goes by, the chance to find such an interesting project have diminished, so naturally we expect a healthy level of interest in this property.

Why not call our office to make a personal appointment to view today?

Steps from here lead to the terrace in front of the bungalow. The garden continues around to the rear and returns to the far side again with wooded borders.

The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:

    Clear: No bars, no signal predicted

    Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
    Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
