House For Sale £695,000
Being offered for sale for the first time in over 40 years, and situated near the thriving village of Porthtowan on the dramatic north coast, an extremely rare opportunity to purchase a south-west facing four bedroom single story residence with adjoining land extending to about 9 acres, complemented by various outbuildings and an established orchard.
The Property
We understand Zenith was built in the 1960s and comprises a handsome four-bedroom bungalow with white painted elevations under an interesting, pitched roof design with central flat roof area, benefiting from double glazing, and is warmed by an external oil-fired boiler, as well as Economy 7 night storage heaters. Outside there is a detached garage, large tarmacadamed parking area, generous gardens affording privacy, an orchard, stables with tack room and land extending to about 9 acres.
This is a rare opportunity to purchase a desirable detached bungalow with adjoining land in a favoured residential locality, and we wholeheartedly recommend arranging a viewing appointment to appreciate the opportunity.
The Accommodation
South-west facing sliding patio doors with views over the front lawn, and to surrounding countryside leads to sitting room/dining room, which leads through to the fitted kitchen, comprising a good range of floor and wall mounted drawers and cupboards with 11⁄2 bowl stainless steel sink and drainer unit, complimentary ceramic tiling, space for cooker, extractor fan, tiled floor, fully glazed double doors flanked by side widows to rear patio area. An internal part glazed door to the inner hall leads to three double bedrooms and a single bedroom, family bathroom/shower room and separate WC. The family bathroom/shower room has obscure glazed window, heated towel rail, tiled floor and wash handbasin set in vanity unit, loft access Hatch.
Outside
From the council road, a well maintained tarmacadamed driveway sweeps to a good-sized vehicular parking area adjacent to the detached garage. An attractive front lawn is complemented by well-established borders containing several flowering shrubs including rhododendron, dianthus, mock orange, lavender, and escallonia.
To the rear of the property, a secluded paved patio provides a delightful, sitting out area, with steps leading to higher levels of landscaped, gently sloping lawn, which leads to an established orchard including four Bramley apple trees and a pear tree, among others.
Detached Garage (17'6 x 12'6) block construction, tiled roof, solid, concrete floor, windows to two elevations, power, and light connected, 'up and over door'.
Shed (9' x 7') timber construction, power, and light connected, sloping felted roof, window to front.
The Land
The land is currently laid to grass with a gentle north westerly aspect and is in a quiet situation away from traffic. It has several uses, including grazing land for animals including ponies, growing or amenity. A separate agricultural right of access to the land, suitable for a small tractor, exists adjacent to the Chapel on Chapel Hill.
The two main rectangular shaped meadows extend to around 8 acres, being laid to grass and enclosed by traditional Cornish hedges that are well trimmed. The larger 6.1 acre field has a dilapidated field shelter/hay store in the southern corner and is situated in an elevated position providing good countryside and distant sea views towards Porthtowan Beach.
Stable Block Comprising two stables each measuring 12' x 12' and feed store/tack room measuring 12' x 6'.
Field Shelter/Hay Store (26' x 18') part concrete floor, timber construction, in state of disrepair.
Kennel (16‘x 8‘) pre-fabricated, concrete construction with sloping corrugated roof, attached dog run.
Location
Porthtowan has a great community and offers a range of local facilities including a pre-school nursery, local convenience store with Post Office, a selection of pubs and restaurants and fish and chip shop. Well known for its popular surfing beach and stunning coastal walks, yet within easy reach of the main A30 trunk road through Cornwall and approximately 8 miles distant from Truro City centre. There are regular bus services to Truro and the surrounding towns and villages.
