At Pearce Fine Homes, we've been building quality new homes across Devon and Cornwall for over 50 years, and few property types have seen a resurgence quite like the bungalow.
Today's buyers want comfort, practicality and a home built to last, which is exactly why we're delighted to introduce Pras Park, an exclusive collection of new build bungalows in the sought-after Cornish village of Menheniot.
Designed with modern living in mind, these beautifully crafted homes combine spacious layouts, energy efficient technology and high quality finishes, creating the perfect place to enjoy life at your own pace.
Why bungalow living is more popular than ever
Bungalows have seen a genuine surge in popularity in recent years, and as a housebuilder working across Cornwall every day, we see exactly why. Offering accommodation all on one level, they provide a flexibility and ease of living that few other property types can match.
Whether you're looking to downsize from a
larger family home, planning ahead for more accessible, single storey living, or simply drawn to the spacious, open feel that bungalow living provides, Pras Park offers an exceptional opportunity.
With just nine detached homes available, this exclusive development has been carefully planned to create a peaceful and welcoming community, while maintaining privacy and generous outdoor space, exactly what many downsizers tell us they're looking for.
Designed for modern lifestyles
Every home at Pras Park has been thoughtfully designed to maximise both space and natural light. The open plan kitchen, dining and living areas create the perfect setting for entertaining family and
friends, while spacious bedrooms and carefully considered layouts ensure everyday comfort.
The development offers a range of two and three bedroom bungalow designs, providing options for a variety of lifestyles. Several plots include garages, while all homes feature attractive exteriors that complement the surrounding Cornish landscape.
Inside, you'll find the high specification that Pearce Fine Homes is known for, including:
Contemporary fitted kitchens with integrated Bosch appliances
Underfloor heating throughout
Stylish bathrooms and en-suites with quality sanitaryware
Oak internal doors and premium finishes
Fibre broadband connectivity
EV charging provision and solar PV panels on every home
Future-proof homes built for modern living
At Pearce Fine Homes, we believe your home should work for you both now and in the future. That's why every bungalow at Pras Park includes energy efficient technologies designed to reduce running costs and environmental impact.
Air source heat pumps provide efficient heating throughout the property, while solar PV panels help generate renewable energy. Combined with modern construction techniques and high quality insulation, these features create homes that are comfortable, sustainable and economical to run, an increasingly important consideration as energy efficiency standards for new homes continue to rise across the UK.
A peaceful village setting
While the homes themselves are the star of the show, the location is equally appealing. Situated in the heart of Menheniot, near Liskeard, Pras Park offers village living at its best. Residents can enjoy local amenities including a primary school, village pub, convenience store, sports facilities and railway station, all within easy reach.
The surrounding countryside, nearby Tamar Valley and beautiful Cornish coastline provide endless opportunities for walking, cycling and exploring, allowing homeowners to embrace a relaxed and active lifestyle.
