Description

Located in the idyllic rural hamlet of Higher Penhale, Captains Paddock is a striking and immaculately maintained detached bungalow, offering a superb balance of peace, privacy, and convenience. Set within its own generous grounds, the property boasts spacious, light-filled interiors and versatile living, including four bedrooms and impressive open-plan accommodation designed for modern family life. Just a short drive from the villages of St John and Millbrook, this rare home blends tranquil country surroundings with excellent accessibility to local amenities.

Ground Floor:
A smart entrance porch opens into the living area. At the heart of the home is a superb open-plan kitchen/living/dining area, fitted with a comprehensive range of cabinets, a tiled splashback, and a traditional oil-fired Rayburn. This wonderful social space flows into a dining area and continues through to the bright and airy conservatory with its panoramic garden views - the perfect spot to relax year-round. The sitting room offers generous proportions, dual aspect windows, and a central fireplace housing a cosy wood-burning stove.

The four bedrooms are set off a secondary hallway for added privacy - three are comfortable doubles, one with an en-suite shower room, and the fourth is a well-proportioned single, ideal as a child's bedroom or home office. A contemporary family shower room serves the remaining bedrooms, featuring fully tiled walls, vanity storage, and a curved glass enclosure.

Outside:
Approached via a tree-lined gravel driveway, Captains Paddock enjoys a generous and private plot. The grounds are bordered by mature trees and hedging, offering a high degree of seclusion. A level lawn is complemented by thoughtfully landscaped seating areas-perfect for entertaining or relaxing in peace. A double garage, featuring twin doors (one electric), provides secure parking or potential workshop space. Additionally, a timber outbuilding offers further storage. The gravelled courtyard allows for ample off-road parking for multiple vehicles.

Situation:
Nestled in the small, peaceful rural hamlet of Higher Penhale, the property enjoys a secluded yet connected location. Just a few minutes' drive away are the sought-after villages of St John and Millbrook, both offering a range of amenities including shops, schooling, and community facilities. The surrounding countryside and coastline provide a host of outdoor pursuits, with Whitsand Bay and Mount Edgcumbe nearby, and Plymouth within easy commuting distance via the Torpoint Ferry.
