2 bed semi-detached bungalow for sale

Messack Close, Falmouth TR11

The property

Originally built in the early 1970s by Messrs Wimpey Homes, this well-presented semi-detached bungalow offers level access from the driveway, spacious accommodation and a generous plot, making it suitable for a wide range of purchasers. The property has been well cared for over the years, with improvements including a modern shower room and an electric roller door to the garage. Inside, the bungalow offers bright and well-proportioned accommodation, including a dual aspect kitchen with a range-style gas cooker, and a spacious sitting/dining room with a large picture window overlooking the front garden and distant views towards Penmere. The room provides a lovely social space and offers potential to open through to the kitchen (subject to the necessary consents), as seen in similar properties nearby. An inner hallway leads to two double bedrooms and the modern shower room, with the principal bedroom enjoying views over the sunny southerly facing rear garden and fitted wardrobes, while the second bedroom has sliding doors opening onto the patio. Outside, the property occupies a generous plot with a lawned rear garden enjoying a southerly aspect, along with a patio area and modern outbuilding. To the front, the garden sets the property back from the road, bordered by low walls and hedging. A long paved driveway runs alongside the bungalow providing tandem parking for several vehicles and leads to the detached garage, which benefits from power and a modern fibreglass flat roof. Double glazed windows and external doors. No onward chain.
