A charming period cottage in St Austell, set close to shops, schools and Charlestown harbour. Original features — exposed beams, slate flooring and a cosy fireplace — give the house character and warmth, while modern additions such as photovoltaic solar panels and an air source heat pump help reduce running costs.
The layout suits a family or couple looking for village-style living: lounge, rustic kitchen/diner with vaulted ceiling, utility/lean-to and a garden room leading to a private rear garden. Off-street parking to the front and a decent plot provide useful outdoor space and storage options.
Practical considerations: the house dates from before 1900 and retains granite walls likely without modern cavity insulation; secondary glazing is fitted. Rooms are generally small to average and there is a single bathroom, so buyers seeking larger contemporary living or multiple bathrooms will need to plan alterations. Some upkeep and modernization would unlock further value, particularly internal improvements and insulation upgrades.
Overall this freehold cottage offers character, good local amenities and efficient running costs from renewable systems, paired with clear potential for improvement. It will appeal to buyers who value location and period charm and are prepared to update aspects of the property to suit modern living.
