Single-storey home with large garden, double garage and owned solar panels.
Three-bedroom detached bungalow on a large elevated plot
Longfields is a deceptive three-bedroom detached bungalow set on a large elevated plot with wide views over Bodmin, including the historic Bodmin Jail. The single-storey layout, owned solar panels and double glazing make the home comfortable and energy-efficient in everyday use. The property includes a double garage with an attached WC and former office, plus two driveways for generous parking.
The accommodation suits family life or downsizers wanting space and garden amenity. The bright lounge overlooks mature, well-stocked gardens and leads to patio areas for outdoor living. The layout also includes a sizeable main bedroom with en-suite, two further bedrooms and an additional bathroom, plus a utility room and practical kitchen.
Practical considerations: heating is by an oil-fired boiler, broadband speeds are very slow locally, and parts of the exterior appear in need of maintenance. The house was built in the early 1990s and benefits from later double glazing and owned solar panels, but some cosmetic updating would improve presentation and value. The location is roughly one mile from Bodmin town centre, close to the Camel Trail for walkers and cyclists, and within reach of primary schools rated Good; the local secondary (Bodmin College) has a lower Ofsted rating.
This freehold bungalow will appeal to buyers prioritising outdoor space, off-street parking and single-level living. Budget for potential external repairs and ongoing oil-fuel costs; confirm broadband requirements if working from home is essential.
