2 bed detached bungalow for sale

Carnkie, Redruth TR16

Now in need of updating and improvement, this link detached bungalow is situated in a popular village location and is offered for sale with no onward chain. The accommodation comprises two bedrooms, a lounge, a good sized kitchen/diner and a shower room. Externally there is the bonus of driveway parking for up to five vehicles leading to a garage and there is a well enclosed mature rear garden with a summerhouse.

Offered with no onward chain, coming onto the market is this two bedroomed link detached bungalow with a large kitchen/diner to the rear, set within a pleasant village location yet also within a short distance of two large towns and surrounded by characteristic Cornish countryside. Sited on a very good sized plot and set back from the road behind a generous, ascending front driveway and lawned garden, this property is now in need of some modernisation. On entry, the L-shaped hallway gives access to all of the internal accommodation. The lounge/living room is located at the front of the property. There is a very good sized kitchen/diner which is particularly bright and airy, offering enough space for all of the likely required domestic appliances albeit it does include under the counter a separate integrated fridge and freezer. This room also offers generous dining space. Returning to the hallway, access is given to the generously sized main bedroom which is sited to the front of the property and bedroom two is located to the rear of the property. Both bedrooms are complemented by a fully tiled shower room with a corner quadrant shower cubicle.

Externally, to the front, the large ascending driveway leads to a single garage. Offering generous parking for up to five vehicles, there is a raised laid to lawn garden with a mature green hedged border to one side and a low level walled border to the neighbouring property driveway. A pathway across the front and side leads to a gate to access the rear garden which is also accessed from the kitchen. The garden is fully enclosed with green borders of mature hedging, plants and trees to all sides with fencing behind. A laid to lawn area with a pathway also has a large summerhouse with a veranda. There is a raised slabbed patio with rear access given to the garage. The property has oil fired heating complemented by double glazing throughout.
