Description
The property sits on an expansive plot, with gardens wrapping around the bungalow. Internally, the main front door opens into the reception hallway, providing access to the lounge, kitchen, bedrooms, bathrooms, storage cupboards, and loft void.
The front-facing lounge features dual aspect uPVC double-glazed windows, overlooking the pretty gardens and offering river views. It includes a focal fireplace with a wall-mounted gas fire.
The kitchen/breakfast room features a range of wall and base units complemented by a roll-edge worktop, incorporating a stainless steel sink and drainer unit with mixer tap. It includes a gas hob with extractor hood, a built-in double oven, space for a fridge/freezer, and room for a table and chairs. A window to the front elevation overlooks the garden with glimpses of the river. There is a door leading to the utility room, which is fitted with kitchen units and space for white goods, along with a door and window to the side opening onto the garden.
Bedroom 3/Dining Room is situated off the kitchen and has a window to the side elevation and wall-mounted radiator. This room works well as a formal dining room or a double bedroom.
Bedroom Two is a good-sized double bedroom situated at the rear of the property, featuring a double-glazed window and radiator.
The Master Bedroom, with en-suite, is a generous-sized room with built-in wardrobes with sliding doors, located at the rear with a double-glazed window and wall-mounted radiator. The en-suite includes a walk-in shower cubicle, WC, and wash hand basin, with a window to the side.
The main bathroom is equipped with a bath with shower over, a vanity unit with wash hand basin, and a WC.
Outside, there is a detached garage with an electric garage door and a driveway with additional parking.
The mature gardens are mainly laid to lawn, with a variety of shrubs and plants. Despite being tucked away in a rather special location, the property is within a short walk of local amenities.
Torpoint is a small, bustling town with a variety of local stores, including small supermarkets, a hardware store, post office, petrol station, and health centre. There is a primary school within walking distance and a thriving community college providing education through to A-levels. The area offers recreational opportunities with sailing clubs, golfing at Whitsand Bay (approximately 7 miles away), and nearby attractions like Antony House and Mount Edgcumbe Country Park. The splendid coastline of Whitsand Bay, with its sandy beaches and cliff-top walks, adds to the appeal, making this a most enjoyable and desirable area to live in.
