This detached bungalow is nestled in the desirable The Downs area of West Looe, an excellent location known for its tranquil residential atmosphere.

The layout offers convenient access through the hallway to all rooms except the kitchen. The spacious lounge and dining area features a large floor-to-ceiling window that frames picturesque views of the river and Trenant Woods, creating a serene backdrop for daily living. A door connects this space to the kitchen, which enjoys similar scenic vistas. Comprising three bedrooms—two generous doubles and one single—the bungalow provides ample living space. The bathroom is conveniently located nearby, equipped with a bath, wash basin, and WC. An airing cupboard houses the Ideal combination boiler, which adds to the property's functional aspects. Outside, the rear garden includes a raised patio area leading into a sloping section that could benefit from thoughtful landscaping to enhance its usability and aesthetic appeal. The front garden is primarily laid to lawn and features a driveway that leads to an attached single garage. This property comes with no onward chain, presenting an ideal opportunity for those looking to invest in a home with considerable potential for improvement.
