DESCRIPTION

Coming to the market for the first time since it was built circa 1948/1949 by the current owners’ parents. The property was extended in the late 1960’s we understand and although over the years has been updated, the property now requires a thorough modernisation but may also lend itself well to demolition and reconstruction (subject to any necessary consents).

3 Ref: LCAA7608 The majority of the accommodation is on the ground floor comprising a lovely sitting room/dining room with large double glazed picture windows overlooking the golf course and open sea, a kitchen/breakfast room that requires completely refitting, three ground floor bedrooms with a family bathroom and an en-suite dressing room to the main bedroom which could also be used as a nursery or occasional bedroom 5.

On the first floor is a large double eaves bedroom with wonderful sea and coastal views together with a walk-in airing cupboard and eaves storage areas.

A covered passageway between the attached single garage and the kitchen/breakfast room, provides access to an internal utility store/laundry and has doors to the entrance driveway and into a delightful enclosed private courtyard garden to the rear where there is a summerhouse, a gardener’s wc and garden implement store.

The property has excellent potential to be extended upwards to increase the first floor area to that of the ground floor, subject to any necessary consents. Alternatively, a purchaser may decide to completely re-develop the property by demolishing the existing residence and constructing a brand new house on the site. This would of course, also be subject to any necessary consents.

The property enjoys an extremely desirable position being situated some half a mile up the road from the safe sandy beaches, harbour and coves at with fantastic views from its elevated position out across a coastal golf course, the open sea and all the way down the coast past Looe Island to Dodman Point and the Lizard Peninsula. The property would make an ideal holiday home, main residence or coastal retreat as it enjoys such a wonderful position and views. 4 Ref: LCAA7608 LOCATION
