Offered for sale including the majority of the contents and with ongoing holiday bookings, enjoying low maintenance landscaped gardens abutting a National Trust field, with simple access onto the South West Coast Path leading to Maenporth beach and the Helford River. 2 Ref: LCAA7201 SUMMARY OF ACCOMMODATION Entrance hall, lounge open-plan to a conservatory. Dining room, kitchen, 2 double bedrooms, shower room. Externally approached utility room. Outside: parking area and long detached garage. Gravelled and paved terraces around the bungalow with beautiful beds, providing a low maintenance yet lovely environment from which to enjoy the outlook. DESCRIPTION The location of Tregullow is its most fabulous asset, enjoying a wonderful outlook over the blue waters of Falmouth bay and along the beautiful south Cornish coastline with Maenporth beach below, the seafront at Falmouth, Pendennis Castle, St Mawes, St Anthony Lighthouse at the tip of the Roseland Peninsula and then on to headlands in the far distance. The view is ever changing with the tides, seasons and weather conditions, although boating activity can be seen throughout the year including yacht racing from both Falmouth and Helford, kayaking, fishing boats and shipping. The property is orientated towards its views which also provides it with a surprisingly high degree of privacy and the low grass topped garden wall on the view side abuts a National Trust owned field which has the South West Coast Path along the bottom of it. 3 Ref: LCAA7201 We are informed that the bungalow was built in 1989 and was later extended with the conservatory added in 2009. Both the kitchen and the shower room have recently been refurbished and the property has generally been meticulously maintained including replacing the garage roof in 2007 and regular redecorating of the exterior every two years. Double glazing is found throughout including the walls and roof of the sea facing conservatory which also has underfloor heating to warm it during the winter months. The accommodation comprises an entrance hall with cupboards, a generous lounge opening through to the conservatory, the refitted kitchen and beside this is a dining room with a door out to the rear where one can sit and enjoy the evening sun. Sharing the modern shower room are two double bedrooms, one of which faces the views. In addition, to the long garage which has plentiful space for a workshop to the end and windows facing the sea, there is an off-road parking area at an upper level. The excellent utility room is actually below the garage although it is not quite as large and is easily approached from the back door of the bungalow. The gardens are designed for low maintenance with gravel and paving accented by carefully considered planted beds all adding to the setting and outlook. The property enjoys a sheltered position from the predominant westerly winds and would make an ideal main or second home as it has been for our client for the last 23 years. 4 Ref: LCAA7201 LOCATION Situated on a small residential close of mainly larger detached properties on large garden plots in an extremely sought after location a ½ mile walk from Maenporth Beach. The property enjoys an elevated setting that provides some lovely views out across Falmouth Bay to Pendennis Point and across the mouth of the River Fal.
