Summary
Tucked on the edge of St Austell with open, rural views stretching out beyond the garden yet within easy reach of great commuter links, this deceptively spacious 4 bedroom, 3 bathroom detached dormer bungalow has been vastly improved and extended by its current owners into a genuinely versatile family home. Sitting on a good sized plot, it offers a bright, sociable lounge with bi-fold doors onto a raised patio, a beautifully fitted kitchen, two ground floor bedrooms (one with en suite), and two further en suite bedrooms upstairs plus the flexibility of a bedroom that doubles as a home office or dining room. Air source heating throughout, complemented by photovoltaic solar panels, keeps running costs impressively low. The integral garage has even been built with future flexibility in mind, ready to be converted into an additional room should you need one (subject to planning and building control consent). This is a home that adapts to life, not the other way around.

The roof trusses and tiles were replaced at the same time that the property extensions were undertaken.

Please note: part of the property is of Cornish unit construction (a non-standard form of construction). This may not be acceptable to all lenders, and prospective purchasers are advised to check suitability with their mortgage provider or broker.

What We Love
Space that flexes with you including a generous main lounge, a second reception room that works equally well as a bedroom, office or dining room, along with four bedrooms across two floors, three of them with own en suite.

The garage has been designed with a plan B from the outset and can be be easily converted into another habitable room, giving whoever buys it room to grow.

Bi-fold doors onto a raised patio, where the lounge with its feature fireplace and wood burner give the option of al fresco dining in the summer or cosy entertaining during the winter.

Low running costs built in, including air source under floor heating throughout the ground floor with radiators upstairs. An array of Photovoltaic solar panels on the roof (which also receive a feed in tariff) provide genuine reassurance against rising energy costs.

Room to breathe outside — a good sized plot with a lawned garden, gravel seating area, vegetable plots, two timber sheds and a greenhouse, plus a full-length covered side passage for secure storage which also houses the log store.
Parking sorted — a gated brick paved forecourt and gravel driveway with space for multiple vehicles (or a boat/caravan or motorhome).
A rural outlook without the compromise — peaceful, green surroundings on the edge of St Austell, with commuter links close at hand.

Location
Set on the edge of St Austell, the property enjoys a peaceful, rural outlook while still keeping everyday convenience within easy reach.

For commuters, the town's road and rail links make it straightforward to travel further afield, so you get the best of both worlds — a quiet, green setting to come home to, without being cut off from the places you need to get to.
