The Property - This beautifully extended detached bungalow is positioned in a superb location within the heart of the village, offering peace, privacy, and far-reaching views over its stunning south-west facing landscaped gardens. Presented to an exceptional standard throughout, the property has been extensively modernised and thoughtfully improved by the current owners, including a stylish rear extension that creates a fabulous open-plan kitchen and dining space, perfect for contemporary living.

The accommodation comprises two generous double bedrooms, a comfortable lounge, and a modern shower room, all finished to a high specification. Additional features include a detached garage, private driveway parking, full double glazing, and an upgraded oil-fired central heating system. This truly turn-key home combines elegant design with practical upgrades, making it ideal for buyers seeking quality, comfort, and style in a desirable village setting.

Planning permission was granted in 2022 for a full wrap-around extension, including the garage and old conservatory. Although this permission has since lapsed, there remains potential to incorporate the garage into the home to create a third bedroom or a spacious master suite with an en suite bathroom.

General Comments - Since purchasing 3 Woon Lane in September 2021, the current owner has carried out extensive renovations and improvements throughout the property. A new oil-fired combi boiler central heating system was installed, with the boiler located in the garage, along with new radiators, a heated towel rail in the bathroom, and a full rewire of the property. Chrome wall sockets have been fitted throughout, along with external lighting, and a modern fuse board has been installed to bring the electrics up to date. A ventilation unit was also added to combat general damp and improve air quality overall.

Significant changes were made to the layout of the home with the removal of the old conservatory and construction of the new kitchen/dining room extension on the same footprint. The new kitchen features a Howden Chelford Dove Grey fitted design with fully integrated appliances and a stylish Mirano Bianco quartz worktop with a waterfall effect on the peninsula. Additionally, the indoor porch area was incorporated into the main hallway and fitted with a new double-glazed front door, while luxury vinyl tile (LVT) flooring was laid throughout the kitchen extension and hallway.

All rear double-glazed windows have been replaced, and insulation in the loft was upgraded to meet current regulations. A comprehensive woodworm survey and treatment were completed, and the exterior of the bungalow was repainted. External cladding below the lounge and bathroom windows was replaced, and the entire interior has been redecorated. New carpets with thick underlay were fitted in the lounge and bedrooms, and all internal doors were replaced with heavy Holdenby hardwood doors and chrome fittings. Architraves and skirting boards in the hall, kitchen, and dining room were also updated.

In the bedrooms, old bifold wardrobe doors were replaced with Howdens sliding mirrored doors, and the wardrobe openings were widened and heightened. The bathroom was fully renovated with a new suite, flooring, and reinforcement between joists for added durability, finished with a modern vinyl covering. All new vertical blinds have been installed throughout the property and are included in the sale.

External - The outdoor spaces have been thoughtfully landscaped. New fencing was installed along two sides of the garden. The back garden, once accessible only by two steep steps, has been transformed with three wider steps leading to a levelled and paved area, where a new greenhouse has been installed. Two raised beds and a vegetable patch have been created in front of the greenhouse. The left-hand side of the garden features beautifully planted flower borders with traditional favourites including roses, lavender, lilies, clematis, geraniums, daffodils, tulips, snowdrops, and primroses. Two Ligustrum Japonicum standard trees (Japanese privet), add height and structure to the space.

Location - The village of Carnon Downs is well served by local amenities including post office, Spar general store, doctors surgery/pharmacy, dental practice, garden centre, village hall and regular bus connections to Truro and Falmouth. The village is also well placed for access to the creek and sailing facilities on the Fal Estuary.

The city of Truro is approximately four miles to the east and here there is a fine shopping centre with many national multiples as well rail connections to London (Paddington) as well as various social and leisure facilities. The port of Falmouth lies approximately six miles to the south.
