Description

We are pleased to offer as our clients sole agents, this individual three/four bedroom detached dormer bungalow which sits on an elevated corner plot in this small cul-de-sac facing due south and taking in delightful views across the valley to woodland and countryside beyond.

This spacious home comes to the market for the first time in over 50 years and being sold with 'no onward chain', offering new owners the chance to create something really special here, turning this into a large family home which is not only close to the village centre but just 3 miles from the city of Truro, our counties commercial centre and good access by road and rail to the rest of Cornwall and beyond.

The property itself was extended many years ago and although the property is clean and tidy, it needs some cosmetic refreshment and updating to make it really sparkle - this may just be the home for you!

The accommodation on the ground floor includes in sequence, an entrance porch, reception hall, two large intercommunicating reception rooms, a double bedroom, bathroom and separate wc, kitchen/breakfast room, utility room and a covered walkway to the attached garage. The first floor has three bedrooms (two intercommunicating) - ideal for children and eaves storage. Outside there are south facing gardens to the front and side, a narrow courtyard area to the rear, an attached single garage and driveway parking for two cars.

The well served village of Carnon Downs has good local facilities including an excellent convenience store, hairdressers, post office, dentist, doctors surgery, Daisy Fay Nursery and a butchers shop. At the top of the village you will find the Carnon Inn public house and restaurant and the Carnon Downs Garden Centre which is on the other side of the village. There are excellent transport routes by road to the cathedral city of Truro and surrounding area.

An early viewing is highly recommended to secure this substantial property which is being sold with 'no onward chain'.
