SUMMARY OF ACCOMMODATION Conservatory, entrance hall, sitting room, dining room, kitchen, cloakroom, utility room, 2 double bedrooms, bedroom 3, family shower room.

DESCRIPTION A fantastically positioned three bedroomed detached modern bungalow in a large garden plot, with a glorious position that provides the property with beautiful views over a valley and direct uninterrupted views straight out across Porth beach. Now, although kept spotlessly clean and well presented, the property would benefit from a modicum of updating/modernisation but due to the size and position of the plot this may well be considered for a dramatic extension either sideways and/or upwards or quite likely for complete redevelopment (subject to any necessary planning consents). The fantastic views the property enjoys from its elevated south facing position could make any extension/redevelopment very worthwhile and could potentially provide somebody with their dream home, in front of an awesome view. The comfortable accommodation currently comprises a large conservatory entrance with a door through to the entrance hall. Across the front of the property is the sitting room with an open fireplace and double glazed door opening onto the front terrace, enjoying the sea and

valley views, as do the master bedroom and bedroom 3. To the rear of the property is bedroom 2 which is a good double, the family shower room, kitchen, dining room, utility room and cloakroom. There are paths providing access all the way round the bungalow and on the southern, seaward side is a broad paved and gravelled terrace providing the perfect place for alfresco dining or just lying in the sun. Down below this are two further tiers of garden dropping down to the boundary hedge. On the right hand side of the property a drive drops down the boundary to a garage and attached workshop with an area of enclosed lawn in between the garage and the house. This property is likely to appeal to a variety of potential buyers as it would make the ideal retirement venue with all the accommodation on one floor and the potential for a very relaxed style of living with two beautiful sandy beaches both within a very short walk of the property. Whilst modernising, extending or redeveloping could provide a very exciting prospect.
LOCATION Porth beach is a beautiful sandy beach facing the Atlantic ocean yet sheltered by headlands on either side and offering excellent bathing and body boarding. Around the headland to the right is Whipsiderry beach which also provides excellent bathing and surfing. Both of these are just a short walk from the property. At the back of Porth beach are shops which provide for day to day needs and the major town of Newquay lies to the south providing a wide array of leisure, commercial and retails facilities from its bustling town centre with out of town trading estates and supermarkets, two secondary schools and several primary schools. Newquay has, for many years, been one of Cornwall’s most popular holiday destinations being blessed with fantastic sandy beaches, most notably Fistral which is a venue on the World Surfing Tour thus attracting surf competitions periodically throughout the year. Some of Newquay’s beaches have recently attracted Blue Flag status and on its

outskirts, Newquay also has its own airport which provides daily flights to London and other UK airports and an increasing number of European airports. Newquay is well connected by road with easy access out to the A30 (Cornwall’s main arterial road) providing swift access further into the county to both north and south coastal resorts or out of county, remains dual carriageway all the way to Exeter where it joins the national motorway network.
