Description

Tucked away within the peaceful rural hamlet of Gunwen, Lowertown is a charming three-bedroom detached character home offering an increasingly rare opportunity to embrace a more relaxed pace of life in the Cornish countryside.



Full of warmth, character and potential, the property provides spacious and versatile accommodation ideally suited to family living, those seeking a countryside retreat, or purchasers looking to create a home tailored to their own tastes and lifestyle.




The accommodation is centred around a welcoming kitchen/breakfast room, complete with a traditional Rayburn which serves as both a practical feature and a focal point of the home. A useful pantry provides excellent additional storage, while a ground-floor WC adds everyday convenience.



The comfortable living room provides a warm and welcoming space to relax, while the adjoining dining room offers plenty of room for family meals and entertaining. From the dining room, a door leads through to a useful utility area, adding further practicality to the layout and providing valuable additional space for everyday household needs.



Upstairs, the property offers three generous double bedrooms together with a family bathroom and useful attic storage.



While the property would now benefit from a programme of updating and improvement in places, it offers purchasers an exciting opportunity to enhance and personalise a home of genuine character.



With its appealing blend of period charm, flexible accommodation and tremendous potential, Lowertown provides the perfect foundation for creating a wonderful long-term family home or countryside escape.



Externally, the property truly comes into its own. Set within approximately 2.16 acres of extensive grounds that include established gardens, a generous paddock and a variety of outbuildings, workshops and garden structures, Lowertown offers exciting opportunities for those looking to embrace a more rural lifestyle. Whether your interests lie in gardening, keeping animals, hobbies or simply enjoying the freedom that comes with owning a substantial parcel of land, the possibilities are extensive.



A former swimming pool enclosure and associated structures offer further scope for restoration or alternative uses, subject to any necessary consents, while a charming timber garden lodge provides a peaceful retreat, studio or hobby space.



To the front, ample off-road parking, a garage and attractive gardens further enhance the appeal of this unique home.
