Set a short walk from Carbis Bay beach, this detached three-bedroom bungalow sits on a decent tiered plot with a large conservatory, garage and driveway parking. The garden offers a glimpse of the sea and good outdoor space for family life or holiday letting. Built in the late 1960s/early 1970s, the property is freehold and comfortable in layout but modest in overall floor area (around 770 sq ft).
The house requires updating throughout — modernisation is needed to kitchens, bathroom and general finishes, and the cavity walls appear to have no added insulation. Double glazing was installed before 2002 and the home would benefit from energy-efficiency improvements. Broadband speeds are slow in the area despite excellent mobile signal, which may matter for home working.
There is clear scope to increase living space (extend out or up, subject to planning) and to add value through renovation or refurbishment. With low local crime, good nearby schools and an affluent coastal setting, this property suits a family looking for a coastal home to personalise, or an investor seeking a renovation/refurb project with rental or resale potential.
Practical positives include mains gas central heating with radiators, garage storage, and affordable council tax. Be aware the internal size is compact and there is a single bathroom, so assess room layouts for your needs before viewing.
