Albany Lane, Redruth

Offered for sale with no onward chain, this detached bungalow is situated in a popular area and sits in mature well stocked gardens. Now in need of some updating and modernisation, the property benefits from adaptable living accommodation with the bonus of a good sized garage, a car port and parking for several vehicles.

Offered with no onward chain, coming to market is this particularly interesting property, occupying a considerable plot and tucked away off a shared access lane, ensuring much privacy yet equally, within walking distance of the town. In need of some modernisation, this property presents an excellent opportunity for buyers who have a vision of how they would like their property to develop and function going forwards. On entry, there is a very generously sized hallway with access given to both ground floor bedrooms, one at the front of the property and the other to the rear, and these are complemented by a separate toilet and an adjacent wet room. From the hallway, there is an inner hallway which gives access to the lounge. A through route is created by a second door that gives access to what could be a sitting room or even a home office environment. This area connects back to the hallway where there is open access to the kitchen. The kitchen is presented in a U-shaped format and has a useful middle breakfast bar area. Linking from the kitchen, a door opens into a utility area which in turns gives access to the rear patio and garden. Returning to the kitchen, open access is given to the dining room. The first floor is accessed by a staircase in the aforementioned sitting room and these lead up to the bright and airy large loft bedroom that has a pleasant view over the side/front garden. A rear vestibule gives access to a convenient en-suite shower room. A door opens into the remainder of the open loft area which would make ideal storage but equally, would also make further living accommodation, subject to the appropriate consent.

Externally, to the front and side, the driveway is accessible directly from the lane and offers parking for three to four vehicles. The driveway leads to a generously sized single garage with lighting, power and a particularly useful vehicle inspection pit. Adjacent to the garage is a separate car port with a door frontage which offers further parking/storage. There is considerable garden space which wraps around the whole property. There are laid to lawn areas with traditional walled borders all round fronted by raised beds of mature bushes, plants, shrubbery and trees. There is a garden shed and a particularly useful summerhouse with lighting and power which could be repurposed to the new owners requirements, perhaps as a garden home office or hobby room.

In terms of location, this is a well sought after area. There are two parks/recreational areas within a short walking distance, one of which, Victoria Park is home to Redruth Bowling Club. In terms of amenities, there is a Co-op convenience store and a fish and chip shop with restaurant also within walking distance or alternatively, via a short drive. The centre of Redruth, which has a variety of retail shops, cafes, public houses and a cinema, can also be reached on foot in under fifteen minutes or so or via a short drive. The main line railway station in the town where there are also bus services to Truro, Falmouth and other destinations, is also similarly accessible. Further afield, Portreath Beach can be accessed in around fifteen minutes by car as can Tehidy Country Park and Tehidy Park Golf Club. The main A30 trunk road is within two miles. There are also many other local towns and beaches which are conveniently accessible.
In addition, this is a popular area giving access to Carn Marth, the second highest point in Cornwall, which can be reached in under thirty minutes on foot, offering countryside walks with far reaching views from coast to coast.
