GENERAL COMMENTS
A magnificent detached property secluded within mature wooded grounds in one of the most sought after residential areas between St Austell and Mevagissey. Oak Lodge is a very large detached bungalow that is totally individual in style, the original building being a standard bungalow built in the 1970s which has been transformed. It is a warm, well insulated building that has been extended substantially and totally refurbished by the current owners to an exceptionally high standard and is beautifully presented throughout with large light rooms. The magnificent garden room at the rear is the latest extension and was completed last year and during the renovations the whole property was re-wired and a new LPG central heating system installed. The property is a lot larger than it appears from outside with light and spacious rooms that all enjoy pleasant garden views. There are four bedrooms - the master has an en-suite shower room, fabulous newly fitted kitchen/dining room opening into the garden room, sitting room, utility, cloakroom and main bathroom. A feature is the fabulous enclosed level garden that extends to just under an acre. They are very safe for children and pets with large mature lawns and well stocked with many interesting shrubs and plants and dense boundaries providing privacy from neighbouring properties. A holiday cabin has been built to a very high standard and is currently a successful holiday let rented through Airbnb with exceptional five star reviews and producing a healthy income. The main driveway leads up to Oak Lodge and provides plenty of parking and lots of space for a boats, trailers etc. An internal viewing is essential to appreciate the size and layout of this beautifully presented property. A property of this nature and in this particular location is a rarity and its availability to the market should be of wide appeal.
LOCATION
Pentewan is a small village on the south Cornish coast and originally a fishing community which in the 19th Century was important as a port for the export of china clay. Due to the silting up of the harbour entrance the village settled into a residential community. The sandy beach and excllent restaurants at Pentewan Sands is a twenty minute walk through kings wood, which is all flat or a five minute drive. A regular bus stop to Mevagissey, St Austell and Charlestown is less than one minute walk and the cycle trail runs across the road. Pentewan has a local pub (The Ship Inn), a post office and several shops. At nearby Mevagissey there is a wider range of facilities whilst in St. Austell there are more extensive facilities and the city of Truro with its Cathedral and fine shopping centre is about half an hours driving distance.
