3 bed bungalow for sale

St. Merryn, Padstow, Cornwall PL28

The property is offered for sale by public auction at 7pm on Wednesday 3rd September 2025 at The Strawberry Fields, Lifton, PL16 0DE.

A detached and generously proportioned three-bedroom bungalow offering the opportunity to personalise, set just outside the ever-popular North Cornish coastal town of St. Merryn; a gateway to the famous ‘Seven Bays for Seven Days, ’ a collection of some of the finest beaches in Cornwall all under three miles from the property.

The harbour town of Padstow is just over three miles away and offers further eateries, including restaurants by Paul Ainsworth and Rick Stein, amenities, and activities such as the camel trail and boat trips.

Not only does the property command an envious location, but it also boasts a substantial plot, measuring 0.37 acres and offering a generous garden or potential for development (STPP) should one wish.

The property briefly comprises an entrance hall, well-sized living room, dining room with patio doors, kitchen with ‘Stanley Aga’, utility room, three good-sized double bedrooms, bathroom, and a further shower room.

Outside the property offers a garage (currently used as a fourth bedroom), parking for multiple vehicles and a generous level lawn bordered by a mature hedge bank on two sides.

Given the location, size of the property, and the possible development potential (STPP), strong interest is anticipated.
