A detached four-bedroom bungalow with its own private drive, double garage and good sized grounds is among a number of properties in west Cornwall set to generate interest at auction.

Ponsandane Gardens, in Chyandour, near Penzance, has a freehold guide price of £440,000 plus. It is among 184 lots listed in the October auction being held by Clive Emson Auctioneers.

Senior auction appraiser Katie Semmens said: “This is a great opportunity to acquire a detached bungalow sitting on good sized grounds within a sought after residential location.

“Ponsandane Gardens benefits from a private drive leading to ample parking and a double garage with private gardens surrounding the remaining property with some seating and decked areas.

“It would make a lovely family home post works whilst some others may see a project with resale in mind.”

The site extends to about 0.3 hectares (0.75 acres). Ponsandane Gardens is being auctioned jointly with Stacey Mann Estates Ltd.

Meanwhile, in St Erth, The Vestry Rooms in Fore Street has a freehold guide of £70,000 plus.

It has planning permission and associated listed building consent for change of use from a community office building to a house.

The property has open plan space, a kitchenette and WC on its fist floor and more office space above.

Auction Appraiser James Lofthouse said: “This property offers a blank canvas for potential owners who may require office space with easy access to the A30 or St Ives.

“Others may wish to build out the planning permission to take advantage of its location or have some other scheme in mind, subject to the necessary consents.”

The Vestry is being auctioned jointly with Andrew Exelby Estate Agents.
