Tucked at the end of a peaceful cul-de-sac in St Ives, this detached three-bedroom bungalow offers a bright, contemporary vaulted living space and a private south-westerly garden designed for low maintenance and alfresco entertaining. The open-plan living/kitchen with a central log burner creates a social heart, while patio doors connect the home directly to a secluded 30-foot garden. A double-glazed garden lodge/home office with power and light adds valuable ancillary accommodation for working from home or hobbies.
The accommodation is practical and flexible: two good double bedrooms to the front (one with en-suite), a family bathroom, and an additional reception that could easily serve as a third bedroom. The garage has been converted into a utility/workshop — useful space but meaning there is no traditional garage. Extensive parking plus a large carport and tidy front garden make arrival and storage straightforward.
Important practical points: the property is freehold, gas-heated with a modern boiler and double glazing, constructed in the late 1970s/early 1980s with filled cavity walls. Broadband speeds are very slow in the area, which may affect heavy home-working or streaming without alternative connectivity solutions. The bungalow is average in overall size (about 1,126 sq ft) and while well-improved, buyers should expect some dated elements consistent with its era and standard maintenance for a home of this age.
Position is a genuine asset for outdoor enthusiasts, being close to Avon Heath Country Park, Moors Valley and the Castleman Trail — ideal for walking, cycling and dog owners. Local schooling includes several highly regarded options nearby, including an Outstanding primary. Council tax is described as affordable and the neighbourhood is very low crime within an affluent, rural fringe setting.
