A versatile detached bungalow with self-contained annexe, set in superb mature gardens of approx. two-thirds of an acre, in a peaceful rural hamlet close to Goonhavern within a conservation area.
The Property - Tre-Oda and Homeland together offer an exceptional combination of space, flexibility and setting that is increasingly difficult to find. Extending to approximately 1,606 sq ft (149.2 sq m) in total across the two linked but independently configured dwellings, the property provides up to five bedrooms, two kitchens, three reception rooms and two shower rooms, along with a detached garage and extensive gardens to the rear. The generous number of rooms and the dual-dwelling layout lend themselves to a wide range of configurations — the accommodation can readily be adapted to suit the needs of incoming buyers, whether as spacious family living, home office provision, or additional letting income.
The accommodation is arranged as two self-contained units — Tre-Oda and Homeland — each with its own entrance, kitchen and living space, held under two separate freehold titles with two separate council tax bands. This dual configuration gives incoming buyers genuine flexibility: the property could continue as two independent dwellings, serve as a principal residence with annexed accommodation for family members, provide a home-and-income opportunity with one side available for holiday letting, or be reconfigured as a single substantial residence — subject to any necessary consents.
The property occupies a generous plot in the quiet hamlet of Carnkief, a short distance from the village of Goonhavern with its local amenities, and within easy reach of Truro (approximately 8 miles), the A30 corridor, and the north Cornwall coast. The gardens are a particular feature: sweeping lawns bordered by mature trees and established planting create a private, tranquil setting that belies the property's accessibility. At approximately two-thirds of an acre, the grounds also represent a significant opportunity in their own right — offering scope for extension of the existing buildings, conversion of outbuildings, or potentially further development subject to the necessary planning and conservation area consents.
Having been in the same family ownership since Tre-Oda was first built in 1964, with Homeland added in the early 1990s, this is a genuinely rare opportunity. The property is habitable and ready to occupy, but equally offers a blank canvas for a buyer with vision to reconfigure, extend or develop to create something exceptional.
