A charming seaside bungalow in Carbis Bay, Cornwall is up for sale at a bargain price of £35,000. The property, listed by Clive Emson auctioneers, features four bedrooms and a spacious garden area. However, potential buyers should be aware of a surprising feature in the front garden – an open mineshaft. The gaping hole appeared after an unspecified ‘incident’ in November, adding a unique twist to this otherwise idyllic coastal home.
According to Clive Emson, the property offers well-proportioned accommodation but is currently subject to mining activity, necessitating remedial works. The auctioneers suggest that some buyers may consider demolishing the existing dwelling and building a new one, subject to obtaining the necessary consents. Despite the presence of the mineshaft, the bungalow includes a kitchen/dining room, living room, inner hallway, three bedrooms (one with an en-suite), an office (previously used as a bedroom), a shower area, toilet, conservatory, single garage with utility space, and garden areas at the front and rear.
For safety reasons, viewings of the property are not feasible, but interested parties can access the mining documentation in the legal pack downloadable from the Clive Emson website. The bungalow’s convenient location, approximately a mile away from St Ives, adds to its appeal for those seeking a coastal lifestyle in Cornwall.
Potential buyers are advised to consider the unique characteristics of this seaside property before making their decision. With its affordable price tag and picturesque surroundings, this bungalow in Carbis Bay presents a rare opportunity for those looking to invest in a coastal retreat in Cornwall.
