Description
PROPERTY SUMMARY
A spacious and adaptable detached bungalow in a quiet cul-de-sac in Mabe Burnthouse. It offers three double bedrooms, a 27 ft living space, a separate home office and a secure south-facing courtyard, together with the benefits of owned solar panels and no onward chain.
ABOUT THE PROPERTY
Arranged on one level around its own sheltered, south-facing courtyard, this extended detached bungalow has been thoughtfully refreshed by the current owners and is ready for its next chapter. The living spaces face onto the courtyard, drawing in light throughout the day, and several open straight out onto it, so the home feels connected to the outdoors in every season.
Beyond the three double bedrooms and generous living space, the property provides something many bungalows lack: genuine room to expand. A standalone office, a garage currently set up as a gym and workshop, and a practical utility and boot room offer space for home working, hobbies and the equipment that comes with coastal living. Owned solar panels and a gas boiler fitted in 2025 help keep running costs sensible.
Entrance Hall
The front door opens into an L-shaped hallway that links all the main rooms, with the three bedrooms, shower room and kitchen leading off it and the living and dining room at the far end.
Living / Dining Room
At 27 ft, this bright open-plan room forms the social heart of the home, with ample space for relaxing, dining and entertaining. Sliding patio doors open directly onto the courtyard, creating an easy flow between indoors and out. A further double-glazed window, oak flooring, recessed spotlights, coving and two radiators complete the room.
Kitchen
Fitted with shaker-style wall and base units with contrasting black handles, solid oak worktops and a Belfast sink with black mixer tap set beneath a double-glazed window overlooking the courtyard. Appliances include a Zanussi oven, five-burner gas hob with glass splashback, AEG chimney extractor and an integrated fridge-freezer. Metro tiling, tiled flooring and inset ceiling lights, with a door to the inner porch, which houses the boiler and leads out to the courtyard.
Bedroom 1
A comfortable double bedroom with a double-glazed window to the front overlooking the colourful front garden. A fitted double wardrobe with sliding doors provides excellent storage, leaving clear space for a double bed and bedside tables. Finished with carpeted flooring and a radiator.
Bedroom 2
A double bedroom, currently arranged as a nursery, with a double-glazed window to the front. It would work well as a children's room with space for play, a guest room or a hobby room. Downlighters, a radiator and soft carpeting add to its comfortable feel.
Bedroom 3
A double bedroom with a double-glazed window to the front that fills the room with natural light. There is space for a double bed alongside freestanding wardrobes and drawers. There is carpeted flooring and a radiator beneath the window.
Shower Room
A stylish, fully tiled shower room with an opaque double-glazed window to the rear. Fitted with a curved shower enclosure housing a Triton rainfall shower, a wall-hung vanity unit with drawers and a close-coupled WC. A vertical heated towel rail provides a finishing touch.
Utility / Boot Room
A practical space with a double-glazed window and part-glazed external door. Gloss grey wall units sit above a long worktop with space beneath for a washing machine and tumble dryer. There is plenty of room for coats, boots, wetsuits and outdoor kit, making it ideal for coming in after a day on the water.
Garage / Workshop / Gym
A versatile space currently used as a home gym, workshop and store, with a roller door to the front and a uPVC pedestrian door. Painted floor, strip lighting, power points, loft hatch and the solar-panel inverter. A separate cloakroom within the garage is fitted with a WC and vanity wash basin.
Home Office
A detached, self-contained timber-clad office set on the edge of the courtyard and reached by a short flight of steps with handrail. Double-glazed window and door, strip lighting, power points and tiled vinyl flooring. It offers a quiet, separate space for working from home, running a small business, or use as a studio, treatment room or hobby space.
Outside – Front
The bungalow is set back from the road behind a generous gravel driveway providing parking for several vehicles, with room for a boat, trailer or caravan. A timber carport offers covered parking in front of the garage, and secure gated access on both sides leads through to the rear. A raised stone-edged bed planted with established shrubs and azaleas adds colour to the smart rendered frontage.
Outside – Rear
The bungalow wraps around a private south-facing courtyard, enclosed by fencing and walling and laid to slate paving for easy upkeep. A raised terrace outside the living room and kitchen is ideal for outdoor dining, while the lower level offers plenty of space for relaxing and entertaining in the sunshine. The living room, kitchen, utility and garage all open onto the courtyard, with steps leading up to the home office.
LOCATION
Mabe Burnthouse is a friendly village on the outskirts of Penryn, with a local shop, Post Office, pub and children's play area. Larger supermarkets are around half a mile away, and regular buses connect the village with Penryn (approx. 1.5 miles) and Falmouth (approx. 4 miles).
Penryn is one of Cornwall's oldest towns, with a characterful high street of independent shops, cafés and eateries. It is home to the Penryn Campus shared by Falmouth University and the University of Exeter. Its railway station on the Maritime Line offers connections to Falmouth and Truro, with onward links across the country.
Falmouth, just a short drive away, is a vibrant harbour town known for its sandy beaches, including Gyllyngvase and Swanpool, along with Pendennis Castle and the National Maritime Museum Cornwall. The town offers a lively mix of restaurants, galleries and independent shops, while its deep-water harbour and the nearby Helford River make the area a haven for sailing, paddleboarding and coastal walks.
Agent's Note
Space, flexibility and low running costs rarely come together this neatly in a single-storey home. With room to work, train, entertain and store all the kit for coastal living, this bungalow deserves an early viewing.
