Blackwatch

A rare opportunity to acquire a moorland property in the hamlet of Bolventor, site of the Jamaica Inn, made famous by Daphne Du Maurier. This deceptively spacious extended three double bedroom bungalow with well-proportioned interior features a rear conservatory, integral garage, about one third of an acre landscaped gardens, and extensive moorland views to the front elevation. The property benefits from a modern fitted kitchen, utility room, spacious lounge, separate dining area, cloaks/WC, modern family bathroom, oil fired central heating, and Everest double glazed hardwood and aluminium windows. The gated driveway provides parking for three cars. The rear garden benefits from raised and level gardens, a lawned area and three paved patio and seating areas to make the most of those long spring and summer days ahead. Well presented throughout, we recommend an appointment to view at your earliest opportunity by calling 01208 264850.
