1 2 1

A Detached Cornish Unit Bungalow privately located in around 0.175 of an acre, occupying a hilltop vantage point, offering captivating far-reaching panoramic south and west facing views over St Just Creek, Carrick Roads and miles of beautiful countryside beyond.

Introduction

Suited towards the cash buyer, Hilltop comprises a Cornish Unit bungalow which was built by Selleck and Nicholls & Co. The property does not have a PRC (Property Rectification Certificate) from an approved repairer so, main High Street mortgage providers will not lend on the property.

Description

This oil fired centrally heated property has been lovingly well maintained by the current owners for many years as their permanent home and, as such, is immediately liveable. Equally, with neighbouring properties being in the Million Pound Plus price range, this rare opportunity has obvious potential for those looking for a project, subject to any necessary consents. Bordered by National Trust land to the rear, thus the magnificent views are ‘protected’, the property also has direct access at the side of the gardens onto a footpath to allow a shortcut towards the Creekside church, cafe´, boatyard and moorings, plus spectacular walks around the creek or along the coast to St Mawes.

The Views

Mere photography does not do justice to the views.This includes St Just Creek (with its picturesque waterside church), Messack Point, the mile- wide Carrick Roads (Fal Estuary) to Mylor Yacht harbour and far across miles of surrounding Cornish countryside towards the North coast. The property faces towards the west to optimise the ever- changing marine activity, from traditional oyster boats, yacht & dinghy racing, water skiers, canoeists, paddle boarders, an abundance of marine wildlife to amazing Cornish sunsets.
