Bowling Green, Constantine, TR11 5AP

THE PROPERTY We are delighted to be selling this prominent detached bungalow, constructed by respected Trethowan builders, who have themselves resided in Constantine for many years and generations.

Grovewood has been a much loved home, its current owner living here for 38 years and now with advancing years, has a desire to be nearer family.

There is a quality at Grovewood, both in and outside, where the property faces South and sits in a delightful, large and enclosedgarden, measuring about 160' (48.77) deep x 60' (18.29m).

All is beautifully presented and landscaped, with much granite evident, having evolved and been richly stocked with dozens of choice azalea, camelia and rhododendron.

The bungalow is spacious and light and bright within, providing three double bedroom accommodation, one with an en suite.

There is also some flexibility and scope for self containment within, if desired, where one bedroom is reached from an inner hallway and has an adjacent conservatory/sitting room and a bathroom/WC.

The triple aspect 22' (6.71m) living room is a lovely space and several rooms have fine views, overlooking the garden to countryside and Goonhilly in the distance.

Twin posts and gates lead onto a tarmacadam drive to park several cars. There is a garage and so good to have a dry cellar/workshop with reasonable head height and which contains the oil-fired boiler.

This is a super village home of some standing, which we unhesitatingly recommend.

THE LOCATION Constantine is a popular village and community about five miles Southwest of Falmouth harbour town and just two miles from Port Navas creek and the Helford River.

Bowling Green is a particularly sought-after part of the village, from where there’s an uplifting valley walk down to Polwhaveral and Polpenwith creeks and Scott’s Quay.

The village has excellent local facilities including an Ofsted ‘Good’ rated primary school, the Norman Church of England church, well stocked Constantine store and a Spar shop.

Perhaps Constantine’s ‘mecca’ is the wonderful Tolmen centre with its theatre and cafe and varied calendar of events.

Constantine is a great place to live and Grovewood presents an exciting chance with its many attributes.
