Description This detached bungalow is thought to have been constructed circa 1990 but has more recently been substantially extended by virtue of a ground floor addition and a loft conversion. This outstanding riverside home has been refurbished to an extraordinarily high standard throughout with particular attention to second fittings such as those in the kitchen, utility room and shower/bathrooms. The kitchen, which includes a comprehensive range of integrated appliances, is enhanced by polished granite worktops and splashbacks and granite effect, polished floor tiles. The same surfaces and tiling have been used in the utility room whilst both the principal shower room and the guest en-suite shower room are beautifully, fully tiled and feature double tiled shower enclosures with low profile trays, umbrella style overhead fitments and hand held hose attachments.

The master bedroom suite, which features a ground floor study area, with stairs to a first floor snug/reading area and a large bedroom benefits from having a "roomy" en-suite bathroom equipped with a spa bath. A further innovation used in this suite are two Velux windows that transform into small viewing balconies that deliver outstanding and uninterrupted views of the river.

It is, without doubt, the unrivalled river views that set this bungalow apart from most others. At high tide, the waters of the River Tamar lap against the bank at the foot of the garden with all of the rooms having either direct views of the river and the rolling Devon countryside on the opposing bank or views up the river. Even the kitchen now benefits from the views by virtue of a large serving hatch.

A large living room delivers three open plan spaces including a sitting room, dining room and sun lounge areas. Patio doors open onto the large viewing decks that wrap around the bungalow and have glazed windscreens to improve shelter whilst enjoying the views.

The property is neutrally decorated throughout, equipped with PVCu double glazing and oil fired central heating, whilst the integral garage has the benefit of a remote controlled roller shutter door. The low maintenance gardens are planted with a variety of shrubs and house a summerhouse and garden lighting, whilst a herringbone parking forecourt provides off road parking for up to four vehicles.

Tucked away at the end of this cul-de-sac, within the quiet and desirable village of Cargreen, this property is being offered with no onward chain and must be viewed to be fully appreciated.
