Description

Hunkin Homes are delighted to be able to offer to the market this incredible period home in the heart of St Austell. This lovingly renovated property benefits from an almost one acre plot with formal gardens, outbuilding with full residential planning permission, double garage and even a pool house. This remarkably private home benefits from five spacious double bedrooms, an open plan living dining space, a drawing room, kitchen, conservatory and a utility room.

Upon entering the property, you are immediately struck by its regal grandeur. The large glass door leads into a spacious hallway with stairs leading to the first floors and doors to the ground floor bedroom/study, drawing room and open plan living dining space. The dual aspect living dining room stretches the full depth of the property and offers a wood burning stove to the living end and plenty of space for a large dining table and chairs to the dining end. From here, the property opens out into the kitchen. This bright dual aspect kitchen offers a range of fitted units and appliances all finished to a high standard. From here, double doors lead out to the conservatory offering views over the formal gardens. On the opposite side of the ground floor there is a spacious dual aspect drawing room with wood burning stove in the impressive feature fireplace. There is also a spacious double bedroom, currently used as a study, with dual aspect windows and charming built in storage spaces. The ground floor also benefits from a spacious and handy utility room with space and plumbing for white goods and an additional separate WC with hand basin.

Upstairs, the property has four further double bedrooms and a family bathroom. The impressive landing offers a platform to observe the stunning feature stain glass window which floods the stairs and landing with light. The master suite offers a generous bedroom with window overlooking Pentewan Valley. This impressive bedroom also offers a generous dressing room with a range of built in wardrobes and a window to the side. From here, a door leads to the en-suite shower room with large shower unit, vanity unit, WC, hand basin and heated towel rail. Bedroom two is a further expansive double bedroom with dual aspect windows offering further impressive elevated views and a built-in in wardrobe. Bedroom three is also a spacious double bedroom with dual aspect windows and plenty of space for wardrobes and bedroom furnishings. Bedroom four is a further double with a window to the rear overlooking the stunning Pentewan valley. The family bathroom comprises a large shower unit, WC, hand basin, vanity unit and an impressive raised area with stunning claw foot roll toped bath. This room also benefits from a built-in storage cupboard.

Outside, the property benefits from formal gardens to both the east and west of the building ensuring that you can always find a sunny part of the garden. To the east, there is a generous lawn with Cornish stone wall border to the north and fenced borders to the east and south. This impressive garden space offers a raised deck area enjoying elevated views. There is also a gate to the south east corner of the garden that provides pedestrian access down towards the town. The west garden is a further large lawn, this time with conifers to the south and a long sweeping driveway to the north. This generous lawn leads all the way to the generous double garage to the west end of the plot. The large double garage benefits from light and power. Two additional parking spaces are located to the side of the garage. The long driveway leads up to the west end of the building and offers a further parking area at its end suitable for three to four further cars. From here, steps lead up to a patio and the spacious pool house chalet. The chalet is generous in proportions and houses a swimming pool. To the side of the chalet, there is a built-in barbeque area making this an outstanding entertaining area. To the side of this, is the walled garden. This beautiful space offers a wide range of fruit trees and leads down towards the additional plot.

This plot offers buyers a fantastic opportunity to make a three-bedroom detached home in the heart of St Austell. This exciting plot benefits from not only space and full planning for a new dwelling but also space for its own parking and garden areas. The current planning permission also benefits from a CIL tax exemption making this a more profitable plot than many in the area. The ability to utilise much of the original outbuilding on this site not only provides cost benefits but also reduces the sites liability for other taxes. Sites like this are few and far between in St Austell.
