2 bedroom bungalow for sale

Situated in a rural location on the outskirts of the village of Carharrack, ‘Gershoms Ark’ is an Eco style detached bungalow which was completed to our vendors exacting specifications in October 2024.

The property features an amazing living and combined kitchen space with a triple aspect and enjoys far reaching rural views across its own land.

There is a comprehensively equipped kitchen which gives access to a utility room and both bedrooms are double in size and share a contemporary design ‘Jack and Jill’ en-suite bathroom, which is in a wet room style. The design includes vaulted ceilings with exposed beams and the property is off grid for electricity which is generated by an extensive array of solar panels that charge a 6.5 kilowatt battery pack, with additional power generated heating the domestic hot water. Should it be required, a generator automatically cuts in if additional power is required to supply the property.  Heating is provided by an LPG gas boiler supplying radiators.

The land which surrounds the property is divided into formal gardens, a wooded copse and extensive vegetable garden with polytunnel and chicken coop with run and approaches 4.7 acres.

The vegetable garden has a bore hole which is not used for domestic water and there is the potential to acquire an additional two paddocks amounting to 1.6 acres by separate negotiation.

At the entrance to the property there is a stable block which formed part of the original planning consent and allows for the conversion to a gym with kitchen area and shower room with WC.  

In summary, a stunning property offering a high level of independence and self sufficiency, viewing our interactive virtual tour is strongly recommended prior to arranging a close inspection.

Located off Wheal Damsel Road, the property lies between the village of Carharrack and the ancient site of Gwennap Pit which is at Busveal.
