Description

This three-bedroom detached bungalow presents a unique renovation opportunity in the picturesque village of Golant, known for its tranquil atmosphere and stunning views of the Fowey estuary and surrounding countryside. Set on an elevated plot, this property boasts generous outdoor space both at the front and rear, alongside integral garage access and ample off-road parking for up to three vehicles. Located on a peaceful lane, the bungalow is just a short walk from the water's edge, offering immediate access to boating opportunities in the Fowey estuary. The nearby village amenities include a local pub that serves as a community hub, enhancing the village experience. For broader needs, Par is conveniently located 3 miles away and provides excellent transport links via its railway station on the London Paddington to Penzance line, as well as various shops and services. Inside, White Gables features a spacious entrance hall with convenient internal access to the garage. The layout includes a separate WC and direct access to rear decking, allowing for easy outdoor living. The living room is a highlight, offering expansive floor-to-ceiling windows that frame panoramic vistas of the estuary and countryside—a perfect backdrop for future design enhancements. With an inviting open fireplace, this area promises warmth during cooler months. The kitchen offers solid wooden cabinetry along with an Aga and additional electric hob, leading into a utility room equipped with storage solutions and access to the rear garden. Each of the three double bedrooms provides comfortable accommodations with potential for modernization. The family bathroom is functional with both a bath and shower cubicle. Storage options are plentiful with two loft spaces—one above the garage and another above the main house—both fitted with lighting and power supply. The exterior features an unexpectedly spacious garden adorned with vibrant hydrangeas and mature shrubs. A well-maintained lawn stretches alongside the property, complete with a greenhouse for gardening enthusiasts. Access to School Hill through a side gate enhances convenience for residents. Overall, while White Gables requires some updating, it stands as an excellent investment opportunity in a desirable location filled with charm and potential.
