Description

With the benefit of relatively level access throughout, the bungalow would seem likely to appeal to those seeking to acquire a comfortable retirement home or looking to downsize, within this sought-after village community. A neatly tended lawn fronts the property, complemented by a generous driveway providing off-road parking for a number of vehicles and leading to a useful double garage with adjoining cloakroom, potting room and storage space.

Internally, the accommodation is both practical and inviting. The light and welcoming lounge is a particular feature, enjoying a lovely bay window and a stone fireplace with an electric fire that provides a nice focal point. A separate dining room enjoys a pleasant outlook over the rear garden and benefits from a serving hatch through to the well-equipped kitchen, fitted with a useful range of cupboards and drawers. Of the three bedrooms, two are generous doubles, with the master benefiting from bespoke fitted wardrobes, while the bathroom is fitted with a panelled bath and a generous shower cubicle with an electric shower.

Outside, the rear garden is a real delight — nicely enclosed with mature hedging to the borders that enhances privacy, and centred around a lovely lawned area that enjoys a sunny aspect through the afternoon and early evening. The outlook extends beyond neighbouring properties towards Gweek Boatyard and the woodland beyond, while a patio area provides the perfect spot to sit out and unwind. With oil-fired central heating and cavity wall insulation, this is a lovely, cosy, bungalow tucked away within a quiet cul de sac and a lovely place to be able to call home.

The accommodation in brief comprises an entrance hall, lounge / dining room, kitchen, three bedrooms and a shower room. The property benefits from double glazing, oil fired central heating and cavity wall insulation. Gweek is a hugely sought after Creekside village on the outskirts of the North Helford offering excellent access to Helston, Truro, Falmouth and the famed sailing waters of the Helford River. This truly wonderful village offers a welcoming and active community with a range of facilities to include an exceptionally well stocked village stores and Post Office with some pop-up hot food options as well as a traditional Village Pub with restaurant. The Boatyard offers boat storage and direct access to the Helford River. There is also a well used village hall which is used for a variety of community events to include a playgroup and annual pantomime productions and Gweek is home to the Cornish Seal Sanctuary.

Industry affiliations:Industry affiliation logo 0Industry affiliation logo 1Industry affiliation logo 2

Christophers Estate Agents is an independent estate agency that was started with a view of providing "pure traditional estate agency".

The company was established in 2002 and has an experienced team who for many years have dealt with property in this district.

We are indeed privileged to work in an area of such natural beauty. Helston is the gateway and commercial centre for the Lizard Peninsula and provides a range of national stores, Comprehensive School, College, Sports Centre with indoor swimming pool and a Cinema. The town is linked to the coast by the beautiful Penrose Estate which is also home to Cornwall's largest natural fresh water lake at Loe Pool.

To the west our area skirts around Mount's Bay and it encompasses a number of highly regarded villages and attractive areas of open countryside.

Flora Day is the most important day in the Helston calendar. It takes place at the beginning of May each year and although it's origins are lost in the mists of time it is believed to have been performed by the townsfolk for hundreds if not thousands of years. During the day four Furry dances take place the first one starting at 7.00 a.m. in the morning! Thousands of people throng the streets of this Ancient Market town to welcome in the Spring. The principal dance takes place at 12 noon with the gentleman in morning suits and top hats and the ladies wearing long colourful dresses with splendid hats.
