This chain-free two-bedroom mid-terrace cottage on Holmbush Road is an appealing first home or buy-to-let close to St Austell town centre. The house retains period character—exposed beams, a stone fireplace and cob walls—paired with practical updates such as double glazing and a mains gas boiler. An expansive enclosed rear garden and useful outbuilding/utility add outdoor space and storage rarely found so close to the town.
Internally the layout is straightforward and comfortable: a cosy lounge with functioning wood burner, a long kitchen/diner, ground-floor bathroom and two double bedrooms plus a generous storage room on the first floor. The property is freehold, connected to all mains services and falls in Council Tax Band A, helping running costs remain low. Its EPC rating is D.
Notable limitations are factual: the building is pre-1900 cob construction so future buyers should expect traditional-maintenance considerations and to check for any specialist repair costs. Broadband is reported as slow (FTTC), and parking is on-street rather than private. Those seeking immediate turnkey modernisation or high-speed internet for home-working should factor these points into their plans.
Overall, this cottage suits a first-time buyer who values location, character and outdoor space, or an investor seeking a straightforward rental in a low-crime, well-connected town. Viewings will clarify space and condition for anyone considering light refurbishment or energy improvements.
