Set on a generous plot on the seaward side of Carbis Bay, this detached chalet-style bungalow offers a rare combination of mature gardens, detached double garage and sea views across St Ives Bay. The main house provides flexible single-storey living with an upstairs dormer bedroom that captures coastal outlooks, while an externally accessed annex adds independent accommodation or potential rental income.
Accommodation comprises an entrance porch, hallway opening to a sitting/dining room with fireplace and glazed doors to a sun room, modern kitchen, two ground-floor bedrooms (one with an adjoining hobbies room), a ground-floor shower room and a first-floor bedroom with sea views. The annex, reached by an external staircase, includes a sitting room with sea views, bedroom and shower room. A useful cellar provides extra storage.
Practical details: the property is freehold, offered chain free with vacant possession, gas central heating to radiators and double glazing (installation date unknown). The house dates from circa 1930–1949 and shows attractive mid-20th-century character but also presents clear scope for updating and energy-efficiency improvements, particularly to wall insulation and broadband connectivity.
This home will suit buyers seeking a peaceful coastal lifestyle — especially downsizers or those wanting ground-floor living with occasional guest or rental space. Be aware of slower broadband speeds, higher-than-average council tax and likely upgrade costs for insulation and some modernization, which are reflected in the property’s renovation potential.
