Barham, Penwartha Coombe, , , , TR6 0AX FREEHOLD

To be sold for the first time since the 1950’s, a substandard construction detached 2 bedroomed bungalow and workshops – ideal for redevelopment, standing in south facing level and very private gardens of about 0.16 of an acre. A truly rare opportunity in a very highly regarded yet little known secluded valley within walking distance of a local inn and the beach at Perranporth. 2 Ref: LCAA7764

DESCRIPTION

Barham has been owned by the same family since the 1950’s with the detached two bedroomed bungalow of substandard construction that currently occupies the site having been built around 1960. The bungalow is now in a bad state of repair as are its outbuildings and although it would be possible to improve the current structure and make it habitable again (it was lived in until only a year or so ago), we fully expect a new owner to remove this building and replace it with something of a more modern construction. We do not believe that the current bungalow would satisfy the lending criteria for the majority of mortgage lenders.

The setting is extremely beautiful with no overlooking properties and a large south facing garden to the front with a smaller garden to the rear. A double gated entrance opens onto a sizeable driveway with the level lawn beside and surrounding the gardens are deep long established hedges and trees. This is an area of total tranquillity with a picturesque stream 3 Ref: LCAA7764 running alongside the lane on the opposite side to the entrance into Barham all adding to this tranquil environment. As a setting to create a new home, this is ideal with any changes that need to be made all of course, subject to all necessary consents first being obtained.

LOCATION

Barham enjoys a wonderful setting in Penwartha Coombe which is an unspoilt wooded valley on the rural outskirts of the sought after village of Bolingey just a 20 minute walk from Perranporth with its magnificent sandy beach. Bolingey is a small, particularly attractive village, off the beaten track yet close to the coastal town of Perranporth and beach. The village has a highly regarded public house, day to day amenities are readily available within Perranporth with shops, junior school, restaurants and a regular bus service. The beach at Perranporth is one of the best in the county, popular with surfers and together with Perran Sands and Penhale at low tide forms an unbroken stretch of almost 3 miles of golden sand beach with an incredible expanse of sand dunes to the rear which are of international acclaim and a nature reserve for an array of native flora and fauna.

The cathedral city of Truro is approximately 7 miles away and is the county’s retailing, commercial and administrative centre offering an unrivalled range of shops, schools and a mainline rail link from to London Paddington (approximate travel time of 4½ hours). About 20 minutes’ drive away is Cornwall Airport at St Mawgan which provides regular domestic flights to London and other UK cities as well as an ever increasing number of European destinations. The A30 trunk road is easily accessed providing a swift dual carriageway link to Exeter where it joins the national motorway network.
