General Comments - The location of Messack Bungalow is very special indeed, just in land from the Carrick Roads and within close proximity of St. Mawes, St. Just, Portscatho and the King Harry Ferry for quick commuting to Truro and Falmouth. The accommodation includes two double bedrooms, entrance hall, sitting room, dining room, kitchen/breakfast room, conservatory, bathroom, separate w.c and utility room. Large windows afford plenty of natural light with lovely views over the surrounding countryside (owned by the National Trust), the gardens and paddock.
Planning permission has recently been granted to extend the bungalow, convert the loft and erect a double garage. Alternatively prospective purchasers may want to demolish the existing bungalow and build a new house that compliments this magnificent plot and location (subject to gaining necessary consent). A private drive leads up to the bungalow where there is lots of parking and ample space to build the double garage. Gardens surround the bungalow and at the rear is a paddock that extends to just 1.3 acres. The field is regularly mowed by the owner. The purchaser will be responsible to erect a new stockproof boundary fence on the western boundary between points A and B which they will own and maintain. There are fabulous far reaching views over the surrounding countryside from the gardens and land.

Planning - Planning permission was granted by Cornwall Council on the 3rd September 2024 Ref. PA24/05013 for "Ground floor living area and porch extensions, roof conversion and double garage" The proposed extended accommodation includes a complete reconfiguration of the ground floor creating larger reception rooms and a master bedroom with en suite. The loft conversion will add two additional bedrooms and shower room. The accommodation will include four bedrooms - master en suite, kitchen/dining room, sitting room, bathroom and additional shower room. Further information is available from the sole agents.

Location - Situated just inland from St Just and St Mawes, deep within the Roseland countryside and just above St Just Creek, Messack Bungalow is one of a mere handful of individual properties surrounded by countryside owned by the National Trust.
The bungalow is approached from the B3289 road, a minor road connecting St Just-in-Roseland with the King Harry ferry. It is a short distance from St. Just-in-Roseland village which is most widely known for its historic church and churchyard set beside the beautiful tidal creek where subtropical plants grow alongside the native trees and flora. The property is also close to St Mawes and this has an international reputation as one of the country's most sought after areas in which to reside with a distinctive Mediterranean atmosphere. The village provides a good selection of individual shops including a small supermarket, hotels, restaurants, inns, primary school and a very active sailing club. The whole of the Roseland Peninsula is designated as an area of outstanding natural beauty and offers superb scenery and walks, a number of beautiful beaches, coves and a general feeling of peace and tranquility. At St. Mawes there is a passenger ferry to the historic harbour town of Falmouth. The King Harry car ferry is very close by and provides for an easy commute to Falmouth and the Cathedral city of Truro.
