This detached bungalow was constructed back in 1971 and has been in the ownership of our vendors for 23 years. During that time many improvements, extensions and modifications have been made to create what is today a highly flexible and spacious home which would suit a wide range of buyers. There is much versatility with space for those who work from home and presents an ideal opportunity for a buyer to personalise the property to their own taste. There are many features of Finches from the large split level gardens to the two acres or so of grounds, all of which enjoy the spectacular views across the attractive wooded Inny Valley with its natural beauty overshadowed by the rugged landscape of Bodmin Moor. We have no hesitation in recommending an early internal inspection to appreciate the qualities of this property.

Finches has undergone many alterations with two accesses at the front and side. At present, the vendor uses the side access which is adjacent to the driveway and opens into the entrance hall which has been kitted out as a home office having plenty of natural light. The entrance hall has storage cupboards including a utility cupboard with plumbing for a washing machine. The light and airy kitchen/dining room is a sociable space and comprises of a kitchen area with many matching light fronted units and wooden effect roll top worksurfaces. Included in the sale is a dual fuel Range style oven and there are spaces for many other free-standing appliances and a laminated floor. The dining area has room for a good sized table and enjoys a far reaching view over the rear surrounding countryside. Moving through, the main lounge is a good size and one of the features is the attractive granite fire surround which has a multi-fuel burning stove in situ. A large window again frames the wonderful view across to the rear. The stunning UPVC double glazed conservatory was added several years ago and is a major part of the reception space. It has a glass roof and is used all year round. The view and access to the garden enhances the social feel which really comes alive when entertaining. Completing the reception space is the dining room which is a flexible space and could be adopted to incorporate a number of other purposes.

The property has three bedrooms, all of which are large enough to accommodate a double bed. The main bedroom has a recess suitable for a dressing table and could lend itself to have an en-suite shower room fitted within the space if required. Bedroom three is dual aspect and like the adjacent wet shower room and rear entrance porch forms part of an extension which was added many years ago. The main family bathroom/WC is modern and fitted with a white suite.

The bungalow is warmed through LPG fired central heating and external windows and doors are UPVC double glazed. There are PV solar panels with the feed in tariff sold off on a lease agreement which has approximately thirteen years to go. Electricity that is generated can be used there and then by the home owner with no charge which increases the efficiency of the home.

Externally, the property is accessed via double wooden gates which enclose the whole of the plot. The large block paved driveway has space for plenty of off road parking for a number of cars and small stores for recycling and bins. The large detached double garage/workshop has parking in tandem for two cars with beneath and extending to underground and accessed separately a large store which has double doors. At the rear of the bungalow is a large paved terrace which is ideal for outside dining during the warmer months, adjacent is a number of borders well stocked with shrubs and bushes. The level area below is made up of further beds with a sunken hot tub. There are terraced lawns and leading down, the entrance to the field which is laid to one enclosed paddock naturally bordered by hedging. The best of the views can be enjoyed from the whole rear elevation over the Inny Valley with Bodmin Moor behind.

Finches is found close to the heart of the hamlet of Trewen. The hamlet is served by the Parish church of St. Michael which is a lovely church with a Bellcote rather than a traditional tower. The church is an ancient granite building in the early perpendicular style and it was restored in 1863/1864. A few miles and a short drive away is the 18 hole golf course at Trethorne. Adjacent to the golf course is the leisure Farm which has many extensive facilities. For those wanting village life and an active community Altarnun can be found just over 3 miles away and is arguably one of the most attractive villages in north Cornwall. The village has the church of St. Nonna at the centre, which is known as the “Cathedral on the Moors”. The church tower is one of the tallest in the county and has the attractive watercourse of Penpont Water at its foot trickling by. Village facilities in Altarnun include a Post Office and general store, county primary school, Parish Church and at five lanes the King's Head public house has an excellent local reputation for bar food. The village hall has plenty of clubs and associations including an active indoor bowls club, local amateur dramatics, local history group as well as for the younger generation the village has a youth group and brownies.
