Detached double-fronted bungalow with character features
A double-fronted, detached two-bedroom bungalow in central Falmouth offered as a clear refurbishment opportunity. The house sits back from the road with driveway parking, a sheltered rear garden and a large workshop/ outbuilding that requires repair but offers conversion potential. High ceilings, original floorboards and bay windows give character and scope for a sympathetic refurbishment to add value.
The accommodation is practical now but worn: two double bedrooms, generous reception rooms, dining room, kitchen, bathroom and separate WC. Services include mains gas (gas combi boiler not tested), water, electricity and drainage; part uPVC double glazing is installed. The large attic has potential for conversion (subject to consent), and there is scope to extend to the rear, subject to planning.
Material drawbacks are clear and factual: the property needs internal and external modernisation, the workshop requires refurbishment, and any purchaser should commission their own surveys. The area shows pockets of deprivation and average local crime; council tax is affordable and flood risk is low. This is best suited to a buyer prepared to invest in renovation — either a hands-on local owner-occupier or an investor aiming to improve and revalue the home.
Location strengths include proximity to Kimberley Park, Falmouth Primary Academy and local shops; Gyllyngvase Beach and Penmere train station are within easy reach. Fast broadband and excellent mobile signal support home working potential once renovated.
