A STUNNING DETACHED PERIOD HOME IN SUMMERCOURT, REQUIRING REFURBISHMENT BUT BURSTING WITH POTENTIAL. GENEROUS LIVING SPACES INCLUDE MULTIPLE RECEPTION ROOMS, THREE BEDROOMS WITH A MASTER ENSUITE. LARGE PLOT WITH FANTASITIC GARDENS, A DETACHED GARAGE AND AMPLE PARKING. NO ONWARD CHAIN.

Newquay Property Centre is delighted to present the truly unique ‘Old Post Office House’, a charming family home in the highly sought-after village of Summercourt. With a rich history as the village post office for over 80 years, this spacious Edwardian property had been lovingly cared for and improved over the last 20+ years, although sadly it has fallen into some disrepair in more recent years. It now offers a rare opportunity for a new owner to breathe fresh life into a home full of character and history.

The main entrance opens via a porch into a welcoming hallway, complete with original mosaic tile flooring, staircase, and banister. To the right, the lounge features a period fireplace and a large bay window that floods the room with natural light. To the left of the entrance, the dining area also enjoys a generous bay window with a charming window seat and a feature fireplace. Beyond the dining room, the kitchen is fitted with handcrafted natural wood base units, oak worktops, a butler sink, and an Aga, with pretty outlook to the rear garden.

Adjacent to the lounge is a versatile third reception room, ideal as a family room, second lounge, fourth bedroom, or even a second living area for extended family. A highlight of this room is the original Cornish range. Off this space, the snug or garden room includes hand-built book shelving and provides direct access to the generous rear garden through sliding doors. The utility area, situated at the rear, offers space for a washing machine, dishwasher, and additional sink, along with a downstairs WC.

Upstairs, the first floor comprises a family bathroom with a freestanding roll-top ball foot bath, a centrally positioned shower over, a period-style basin, WC, and towel rail. Three double bedrooms are arranged across this floor, with the two larger rooms overlooking the front of the property, one of which features a fitted period fireplace. The master bedroom benefits from an ensuite with a walk-in shower, WC, and basin. There is also a dedicated office space with room for a desk, shelving, and computer station. Historically, the first floor may have accommodated four bedrooms, offering potential to reconfigure if desired.

Externally, the property boasts a large, private garden, which, though now overgrown, includes two ponds, fruit trees, wildflowers, and mature shrubs. This outdoor space is perfect for gardeners of all levels. A detached garage sits at the end of a gravel driveway, and the front of the property is framed by mature clipped hedging, providing privacy and charm.

Summercourt is a picturesque and well-connected village positioned between Cornwall’s north and south coasts. It offers excellent access to Newquay, Truro, Perranporth, Redruth, Bodmin, and St Austell, with a regular bus service, a nearby train station at St Columb Road, and Newquay Airport less than 10 miles away. The village provides a selection of local amenities, including Summercourt Academy, which holds an Ofsted ‘Outstanding’ rating. Nearby Kingsley Village offers a range of shops and a Marks & Spencer superstore.

This remarkable period home showcases the care, character, and thoughtful improvements of its past owners while presenting a fantastic opportunity for a new owner to renovate and restore it to its former glory.
