This substantial single-storey bungalow (c.2,055 sqft) combines high-quality, recently renovated interiors with low-maintenance outdoor living. A custom-made U-shaped kitchen, large open-plan living/dining, sun room and five double bedrooms — including two en suites and a principal suite with walk-in dressing room — provide generous single-level space well suited to downsizers or buyers seeking comfortable, accessible living. The property benefits from 16 photovoltaic panels, a detached garage, multiple parking and extensive decked seating with elevated views across the Gover Valley.
The finish is contemporary throughout with marble-effect worktops, Bosch appliances, underfloor heating to wet areas and a striking Kratki bio-ethanol fireplace as a focal point. Recent external works include new render/paint and timber decking that reduce immediate maintenance. The layout includes a useful store with conversion potential and practical utility/shower facilities, supporting flexible use for home office or guest space (subject to consents).
Material considerations are stated plainly: the property dates from before 1900 with granite walls that are assumed uninsulated, the EPC is rated E, and there are some covenants on the title. The garden is largely occupied by decking so traditional lawn space is limited. The area records above-average crime and sits within a very deprived local area classification, which may affect lending, insurance or long-term resale comparables. Prospective buyers should factor in the EPC rating and possible improvements to wall insulation and energy performance despite the existing PV array.
In short, 49 Bodmin Road is a thoughtfully modernised, roomy bungalow offering single-level living, strong entertaining space and immediate move-in quality, balanced by heritage construction, limited traditional garden and local socio-economic considerations.
