Carlidnack Close, Mawnan

THE PROPERTY This is a very special bungalow with a quality and style that has deeply impressed all Heather & Lay staff that have visited. 12 Carlidnack Close was bought in 2019 by an artistic couple who own an online business specialising in modern Scandinavian and mid-century inspired interior design. Their business and passion for this genre is wonderfully reflected in the home they have created which is effortlessly stylish, and with a depth of character and quality that grows the more you visit and see. The interior has been remodeled and is light, bright and spacious, presenting uplifting and immaculately presented two/three bedroom accommodation that works beautifully. The bungalow’s position is spot on too, tucked into the corner of this popular close, nestled within its delightfully landscaped garden and with an open outlook towards valley and countryside. The layout allows flexibility for three bedrooms; the third situated off the living room, is equally suited as a dining room or study/office, perhaps. the generous main bedroom is a treat with its wonderful en suite, incorporating a large Spanish wall tiled walk-in rain shower, an oval black marble basin and under heated Italian porcelain floor tiles. Detailing is superb with use of cork based eco flooring in the hallway, living room and bedrooms and restful colour schemes throughout using natural pigment paint finishes from Farrow & Ball and Fired Earth. A newly installed kitchen is a stand out feature, with space for a breakfast table and chairs, quality appliances built in and multiple lights that are dimmable for task and atmosphere. The living room is a lovely bright space measuring a generous 18' x 14' (5.49m x 4.27m) (approximately), opening into a conservatory and out on to the delightful terrace and garden. As well as the ensuite shower room, there is a family bathroom with Italian porcelain under heated floor and handmade tiling around the double ended steel bath with rain shower. The bungalow is practical too, with plenty of good cupboard storage space and a large utility cupboard, to house a washing machine. Fundamentals are comprehensively covered too; a complete new boiler and heating system is installed, fire doors fitted and windows, gutters and down pipes replaced. This is a home to delight the most discerning of buyers with its joyful combination of style, quality and substance, both in and outside - unhesitatingly recommended!
