" A double fronted 1930's detached bungalow in need of some updating yet with many appealing original features, including timber floorboards and skirting boards etc, offering 2/3-bedroomed accommodation with large level gardens, detached garage and driveway parking. Great potential to extend to the rear, with planning permission already permitted for conversion of the loft area into 2 additional rooms.

THE PROPERTY Retaining many features of this popular era, including picture rails, skirting boards and architraves, yet also having been upgraded with a new gas boiler in 2015 and featuring majority double glazed windows, a light, well proportioned and adaptable property, with huge potential to both extend and modernise, subject to requirements. We understand there is planning permission (application number: PA13/04573) to extend into the loft space to provide two further bedrooms, application number and the possibility of a ground floor extension also subject to any necessary consents. Currently, the accommodation comprises an entrance porch and traditional 'central' entrance hall with similarly sized rooms either side (both with box bay windows), currently a sitting room and large double bedroom; to the rear of the hall, a bright bathroom is positioned in between two further rooms of similar proportions, currently a second bedroom and formal dining room, the latter leading to a kitchen which overlooks and accesses the rear garden. There is also a rear porch accessing a utility room with separate (additional) WC.

Killigrew Street, Kimberley Park Road and the town centre are all located within easy walking distance, and nearby are Kimberley Park Corner Stores, newsagents, junior and secondary schooling, as well as the rail services to the nearby university town of Penryn (providing an alternative link to the university), and beyond to the cathedral city of Truro, the county's primary retailing and commercial centre, approximately twelve miles distant.
