Summary - ROCK COTTAGE TRETHURGY ST AUSTELL PL26 8YQ
4 bed 2 bath Detached
Large gardens, garage and annexe potential near Clay Trails and Eden Project.
Sought-after Trethurgy village location with countryside views
Rock Cottage is a sympathetically refurbished early 20th-century detached home set in a sought-after Trethurgy village location. The layout offers flexible living across multiple levels: a contemporary kitchen, two reception rooms, a large ground-floor bathroom and separate annexe-style bedroom and living area — useful for guests, rental income or multigenerational living. Large, sunny gardens, countryside views and generous parking with a detached garage complete the picture.
The property blends period character (exposed beams, stonework and floorboards) with recent upgrades: new double glazing, an LPG boiler installed in the last few years and solar panels with an active tariff. Internals include a mezzanine bedroom and larger loft room (reduced head height) that extend sleeping space and versatility, while the layout lends itself to home working or hobby use.
Buyers should note a few practical considerations: the home is on a private septic tank and soakaway (not mains drainage), heating is LPG-fuelled rather than mains gas, and the loft access uses a non-standard staircase. The stone walls are original granite/whinstone and are assumed to have no built-in insulation — further insulation work may be desirable if planning major energy upgrades. EPC rating is D.
Overall, the house will suit families seeking village life close to countryside trails and the Eden Project, or buyers seeking an income/annexe opportunity. Viewing is recommended to appreciate the scale, character and garden setting; the layout rewards buyers willing to live with period constraints while enjoying modernised fittings and off-grid conveniences such as solar income.
