Description

This detached bungalow, situated on approximately half an acre of land, presents a unique opportunity for renovation or redevelopment in the desirable area of Porthcothan Bay. Currently operated as a holiday let, the property boasts stunning sea views and borders pristine countryside while being conveniently located just a short distance from the sandy beach. The layout features an entrance hallway that leads into a lounge with dual aspects and an open fire, creating a cozy atmosphere. Adjacent to the lounge, the dining kitchen overlooks the rear garden through a large window. The utility room offers additional functional space, and the sun lounge brings in natural light with its UPVC double-glazed windows and patio doors leading to the outdoor area. Two spacious double bedrooms provide comfortable accommodation, with the master bedroom featuring both front and rear access via patio doors. A modern family bathroom includes a three-piece suite complete with a shower over the bath. Outdoors, the property is complemented by mature gardens, a detached garage with an electric door, and several fruit trees that enhance its charm. This setting offers potential for landscaping or further enhancement, making it ideal for those looking to invest in further development. Recent discussions with local authorities have produced favorable advice regarding plans to replace the existing bungalow with two new detached homes, subject to planning approval. This aspect significantly enhances its investment potential, allowing buyers to explore various avenues for future use. The location itself is advantageous; only 5 miles from Padstow—a town known for its vibrant fishing harbor and culinary offerings—and 8 miles from Newquay's bustling beaches and amenities. Moreover, Newquay Airport is just 6 miles away, providing accessibility for travelers and growing interest in holiday rentals. Given its current condition and location on Cornwall's sought-after north coast, this property represents not just a home but also an enticing investment opportunity with room for growth and improvement.
