This extended four-bedroom, three-bathroom detached bungalow sits in an elevated, quiet position in the heart of Rock, a short walk from Porthilly and Rock beaches and village amenities. The single-storey layout, large plot and off-street parking for three cars offer easy, low-maintenance living with good entertaining flow from the glazed Duchy Designs kitchen/family room into the private rear garden.
The house has been upgraded with significant eco-features: solar panels (installed 2013) producing over £1,000pa under the Feed‑in Tariff with eight years remaining; a Midea air source heat pump (fitted 2022) with quarterly grant payments of £364.17 for another four years; a Tesla Powerwall battery (Sept 2023); and a Hypervolt Home 3 Pro EV charger (2024). These reduce running costs and provide predictable income streams alongside an EPC Band B rating.
Internally, the home blends period touches and contemporary finishes: Amtico white oak flooring, original painted floorboards, working open fireplace, built-in wardrobes, Porcelanosa en‑suite with underfloor heating, and practical storage including a boarded insulated loft and useful pantry/utility areas. The rear garden is designed for entertaining, with raised beds, high privacy fencing, a 2021 VitaSpa hot tub, summer house and additional storage.
Notable practical points: broadband speeds are slow, council tax is above average, and planning permission for an additional bedroom/bathroom and front gables has lapsed (PA18/09024) — representing potential but requiring re‑application. The property is freehold, sits in a low-crime area with excellent mobile signal, and will suit buyers seeking single‑storey, energy-efficient coastal living who are comfortable reapplying if they wish to extend.
