4 bedroom detached house for sale

Beautifully maintained detached dwelling with self contained annexe

An extensive property with possible development potential.
3 bedroom dormer bungalow with linked self contained
1 bedroom bungalow annexe.
Large garden (formerly with consent as building plot).

This property is extremely deceptive and is much more extensive than apparent at first glance. Approaching Pippins from Agar Meadows the property seemingly comprises a detached dormer bungalow but tucked away to one side there is a fully independent self contained annexe which is ideal for anyone with a dependent relative. At the rear and with independent vehicular access there is a large secluded garden and this has formerly had planning consent for a new detached dwelling. Hence this property will appeal to a variety of potential purchasers but especially family orientated persons needing a spacious residence and with a large garden for leisure and privacy. An internal viewing of this interesting property is essential.

The village of Carnon Downs is well served with local amenities including post office, Costcutters food store, Chapel, village hall, a garden centre and regular bus connections to Truro and Falmouth. On the edge of the village there is a golf course at Killiow and the village is also well placed for access to the creek and sailing facilities of the Fal Estuary. The City of Truro is approximately 4-5 miles away and here there is a fine shopping centre with many national multiples as well as rail connection and various social and leisure facilities including the Hall For Cornwall.

The whole property has replacement double glazing for low maintenance, Pippins has a comprehensive system of oil fired central heating whilst Little Pippins (the annexe) has electric storage radiators. The properties are linked with a connecting door but are in essence separate units and independently assessed for council tax.

Outside

When approaching the property from Agar Meadows a tarmacadam driveway leads into the property which facilitates plenty of parking space and which also leads to the garage 16' x 9'4 with up and over door, side pedestrian door, work bench, light and power. To one side of the driveway there is a triangular area of garden comprising an area of lawn, deep flower beds and edged with various shrubs. A gravel and stone paved pathway leads separately to Little Pippins where there is also a rockery and several conifers.

Rear garden

The rear garden is totally enclosed with high hedges and is a delight to behold. This area has been beautifully landscaped and planted and features sweeping areas of lawn which are interspersed with circular heather beds, a water feature with fountain and mature camelias around the perimeter. Two paved patios with stone retaining walls overlook the garden and in one corner there is a summer house with gravelled forecourt. To one side there is a cedar wood greenhouse 13' x 8' with staging and two garden sheds. Here double gates and a gravelled entrance provide secondary access from the cul-de-sac of Trelawne Close.

Part of the rear garden had detailed planning consent for the erection of a new detached dwelling, but this consent has lapsed. A copy of the original decision notice together with a copy of the plans are available for inspection at the agents office.
