Description

A four bedroom detached bungalow, enjoying a tucked away location in proximity of Praa Sands beach. The property was previously used as a family home, with additional income from holiday letting two rooms, which can be self-contained from the main living accommodation, or as a versatile sizeable family home. Accessed via a shared driveway, with gated access to on drive parking for multiple vehicles, front and rear gardens with decked seating area, lawns and a garden pond, detached garage and adjacent car port.

Accommodation

Ground floor: entrance porch, hallway, kitchen/diner, sitting room, bedroom three with en-suite shower room, bedroom four, family bathroom, utility room, rear hallway, bedroom two with en-suite shower room and kitchenette, bedroom one with en-suite shower room and a kitchen.

Location

The coastal village of Germoe is set between the thriving towns of Penzance and Helston, being readily accessible to the A30 and mainline railway station, along with glorious rural and coastal walks at Praa Sands. The village has a primary school, Church, independent shops, a general store and deli, along with a selection of restaurants and a golf and leisure club.

Tenure / Property Information

Investment Analysis

The strongest evidence is the same property, Pendragon, sold for £432,500 on 19 March 2020. Nearby detached sales on Pengersick Lane range from £299,000 to £485,000, including Trevean at £290,000 in October 2025. A provisional evidence-based GDV range is therefore £299,000–£485,000, with £432,500 used as the base scenario. The sales are historic and no condition, floor-area or current-market adjustment evidence is supplied, so this is not a formal valuation.

Investment Snapshot

Strategy Recommendation

Treat as a potential owner-occupier or flexible holiday-income property rather than an underwritten investment. Proceed only after reviewing the legal pack, survey, access arrangements and letting/planning position, and set a bid limit from independent valuation evidence.

Works Required

No specific defects or refurbishment requirements are evidenced. Arrange a full survey and assess the roof, services, kitchens, bathrooms, accommodation separation, gardens, garage/car port, access and any holiday-letting compliance before budgeting works.

Rental & Market Context

Sold Comparables

The following completed sales were identified within approximately 5 miles:

Potential BRRR Position

At the base evidence-supported GDV of £432,500, a 75% refinance would be approximately £324,375. Total project cost cannot be calculated because the purchase price, works allowance and other acquisition costs are unavailable. BRRR viability therefore cannot be assessed.

Buy-to-Let Analysis

BTL returns cannot be established because no sufficiently specific rental comparables or auctioneer rent estimate are supplied. The property has previously generated income from two rooms, but no achieved or asking rent is evidenced. The accommodation may offer letting flexibility, subject to legal, planning, mortgage, insurance and operational checks.

Flip Analysis

A flip appraisal cannot be completed because no guide or purchase price, refurbishment budget, finance cost or selling allowance is supplied. Historical sales support a broad value indication only and do not establish a guaranteed resale price.

Investor Risks & Due Diligence

• No auction guide price is supplied, preventing a maximum-bid or project-cost calculation.

• No specific condition or refurbishment information is supplied.

• No sufficiently specific rental evidence is available, so yield and income cannot be underwritten.

• Historical comparable sales vary materially and may not reflect current value or this property's present condition.

• Tenure and legal title information are not supplied.

• Shared driveway access and any rights or maintenance obligations require legal-pack verification.

• The previous two-room holiday-letting arrangement may require verification of planning, licensing, insurance and mortgage acceptability.

Recommendation

Treat as a potential owner-occupier or flexible holiday-income property rather than an underwritten investment. Proceed only after reviewing the legal pack, survey, access arrangements and letting/planning position, and set a bid limit from independent valuation evidence.
