Summary - Upper Genista, Downs View PL13 2HB
3 bed 1 bath Detached
Low-maintenance coastal home with private woodland garden and parking.
Elevated position with panoramic river and countryside views
Set high above West Looe, this detached three-bedroom bungalow offers sweeping, uninterrupted views over the river and surrounding countryside. The raised front patio is deliberately positioned to take in the panorama, while a level side lawn and sheltered woodland garden to the rear provide private outdoor space and wildlife interest.
Internally the layout is practical for downsizers or those seeking a flexible coastal home: ground-floor living includes a modern kitchen/breakfast room, living room, dining room/study, ground-floor double bedroom, WC and bathroom. Two further double bedrooms occupy the converted roof space and the front bedroom enjoys the best of the views. The property benefits from gas central heating, uPVC and Velux double glazing, and two off-street parking spaces.
Important practical points are stated plainly. Access from Downs View involves a steep, stepped path. The upper bedrooms are in the converted roof space and may have restricted headroom. There is a single bathroom only. The property sits within a conservation area and recent tree works were applied for to remove storm-damaged limbs (Ref PA24/00878). EPC rating D65 and modest council tax Band C reflect the property’s age and efficiency.
This home will suit buyers seeking a low-maintenance coastal retreat with outstanding views and established gardens, or investors looking for a desirable holiday-let location (subject to any local rules). Some updating or sympathetic improvements could increase comfort and energy performance while preserving the mid-century character and woodland setting.
