DETACHED BUNGALOW IN FRIENDLY CORNISH VILLAGE
THE VILLAGE of St Stephen-in-Brannel is a quiet, friendly community with two mini-markets, post office with ATM, first class modern Health Centre (3 doctors), social club, sports ground, launderette, service garage, good school and local bus service – Truro 10 miles, St Austell 5 miles, Newquay 5 miles. It has easy access to the road and rail network, plus air links from Newquay Airport.
LOCAL HARBOUR is Charlestown, with its tall ships, background to several films and TV series. The beaches at Pentewan, Par and Mevagissey are a little further (20 to 25 minutes’ drive). All Cornwall is within easy reach.
THE BUNGALOW is soundly built with no rot, damp or woodworm. It has double glazing throughout, full insulation and has Economy 10 heating. The Council Tax Band is B which makes it a cosy home with low out-goings. The kitchen has fitted double oven/microwave, with separate ceramic/halogen hob. Washing machine is also by Siemens and there is a good-size fridge/freezer. Wall and floor cupboards are all oak-faced. The adjoining conservatory can be used for meals. The present dining room can also be used as a further double bedroom as is the case in some of the neighbouring properties. The large lounge window faces SW. Other windows are all of a good size, giving the bungalow a light and airy feel. There is a ‘living flame’ gas fire in the lounge. The bathroom has recently been refitted, with floor to ceiling tiling, white 3-piece suite and heated towel rail. Quality carpets are fitted throughout the bungalow.
THE GARDENS, front and rear, are designed for easy maintenance and are well-stocked with shrubs, climbers and perennial plants. There is a small ornamental pond and a workshop with electricity and water connected.
THE GARAGE has electricity connected and will house a family estate car. There is further parking for 3 to 4 vehicles in the drive.
THE OWNERS are now retired and looking for a change of scene – perhaps Spain or S. France. All types of property considered, either for straight swap or downsize with cash adjustment.
THE PRICE is £168,000 freehold or £185,000 for exchange, fully equipped and expensively furnished. We have a holiday home so immediate possession is possible.
CONCLUSION. With top-opening transom windows and alarm system the bungalow is an ideal lock-up- and-leave property or excellent letting investment. Similar properties currently rent at £600 pcm. Realistic propositions will be seriously considered.
