***Exceptional Detached Coastal Bungalow with No Onward Chain - A Rare Opportunity in Sought-After Carlyon Bay – Huge Plot – Endless Potential***

Set within a generous, beautifully landscaped plot in one of Cornwall’s most coveted coastal locations, this detached three-bedroom bungalow offers an exceptional opportunity for those seeking space, privacy, and potential – all just a 15-minute scenic stroll to Carlyon Bay Beach and the South West Coast Path.

Available with no onward chain, this rare 1960s mid-century modern home is nestled within a quiet, prestigious residential setting and offers huge development potential. Whether you dream of sympathetically updating the existing property or embarking on a bold transformation, Number 43 is a true blank canvas – perfect for a Grand Designs-style reinvention.

The existing bungalow features a spacious internal layout, large garage, and ample off-road parking for multiple vehicles, making it ideal for families, second homeowners, or developers. Outside, the home sits proudly within a rolling front lawn with mature shrubs, while to the rear lies an enormous level garden, fully enclosed and laid to lawn with an alfresco patio area – the perfect spot to soak up the Cornish sun or entertain guests on long summer evenings.

The architecture naturally lends itself to contemporary enhancement – think floor-to-ceiling glass, expansive open-plan living, and seamless indoor-outdoor flow. The orientation, privacy, and footprint all combine to offer incredible scope for extending or redesigning.

Carlyon Bay itself is famed for its golden sands, dramatic clifftop golf course, and newly revitalised beach complex featuring seasonal events, eateries, and sea-swimming opportunities. Just a little further along the coast lies Charlestown – a World Heritage harbour village steeped in history, with characterful pubs, boutique shops, galleries, and waterfront restaurants. It's no surprise this is one of Cornwall’s most sought-after destinations.
