Description

Situated in the serene hamlet of Lanreath, this detached three-bedroom bungalow commands a generous corner plot, ensuring a sense of seclusion and ample outdoor space. While the property is in need of modernization, it presents a valuable opportunity for those looking to invest in a renovation project that takes advantage of its picturesque countryside surroundings. Upon entering, you are greeted by a hallway featuring a log burner, leading into a living room that holds great potential for transformation into an airy, contemporary area with stunning views of the rolling landscape. A conservatory complements the living space, serving as a bright retreat that overlooks the gardens and allows for natural light to flood the interior. The kitchen, although currently functional, offers an excellent opportunity for reconfiguration and updating to meet modern standards. Three well-proportioned bedrooms and a bathroom round out the accommodation. The property boasts an impressive EPC rating of B, thanks to its installation of an air source heat pump and solar panels. This energy efficiency not only supports sustainability but can also lead to long-term savings for future owners. Externally, the bungalow is surrounded by gardens that wrap around the property, creating inviting outdoor spaces. A private driveway provides sufficient parking options and leads to a detached garage along with two workshop areas suitable for hobbies or storage needs—ideal for those seeking space for a home office or studio. The corner plot also offers the potential for extensions or landscaping enhancements (subject to obtaining planning permission). The location itself provides both tranquility and convenience. Within easy reach are local amenities such as a village shop and public houses. Primary schools are accessible in nearby Pelynt and Polperro, while Looe offers a wider array of services including supermarkets, boutiques, cafés, and restaurants just a short drive away. Despite its peaceful environment, this property is well-connected; regular bus services run from nearby stops linking you to neighboring villages and towns. Rail travel can be accessed at Sandplace or Looe stations within five miles on the scenic Looe Valley Line, which connects to Liskeard and further afield via national rail links. For those needing access to major routes, the A38 is easily reachable providing connections toward Plymouth and Exeter in one direction and Truro in the other. Additionally, Newquay Airport is accessible within a comfortable driving distance. This combination of features positions this property as not only an appealing home but also as an attractive investment opportunity ripe for renovation.
