Set well back in a quiet semi-rural cul-de-sac, Helford Lodge is a rare single-storey home offering generous, versatile living across an exceptionally large footprint (circa 3,055 sq ft). The bungalow’s wide reception hall leads to a substantial lounge with a feature fireplace and patio doors that open to a secluded southwest-facing garden. The large master bedroom benefits from a private en suite; a flexible fourth bedroom currently used as a study suits home working or guest use.
Outside, the plot is a major draw: private driveway parking for up to eight cars, a detached double garage, a converted 60ft barn divided into cinema, gym and workshop areas, and a mature garden with established planting and a carp pond. The vendors also hold an additional parcel of agricultural land on a separate deed, offering space for a mini orchard, chickens or further landscaping (note: that land is legally separate).
Practical specifics are straightforward: gas central heating, double glazing (installed before 2002) and timber-frame walls with partial insulation. These features have served well but mean there is potential to improve thermal efficiency and windows if long-term running costs are a priority. Broadband speeds are reported as slow locally and council tax is described as expensive — important considerations for remote working and household budgeting.
This home will suit families or buyers seeking substantial single‑storey accommodation with scope for further personalisation. The size and outbuildings deliver immediate lifestyle amenities and hobby space, while modest energy and connectivity upgrades would enhance comfort and future value.
