5 bed detached bungalow for sale

Bodmin Road, St Austell PL25

From the moment you arrive, it’s clear this is a home that has been thoughtfully transformed. A short, private tarmac drive leads to elegant wrought iron gates, opening into a generous herringbone-paved parking and turning area. There’s ample space for multiple vehicles, along with a detached single garage, creating a sense of arrival that feels both practical and impressive. No chain involved.

Inside, the (c.2,055 sqft) property has undergone a comprehensive and high-quality renovation, and it shows in every detail. The standard of finish is exceptional, but what really stands out is how well the spaces work for everyday living.

You enter through a part-glazed front door into a welcoming reception hall, finished with stylish herringbone flooring. A cleverly designed recessed bench provides seating, shoe storage, and coat hooks - a simple but thoughtful touch that immediately makes the home feel practical as well as beautiful.

From here, the layout flows effortlessly. To the front of the property is a triple-aspect sun room, flooded with natural light and offering a calm, versatile space. Whether used as a morning sitting room, reading area, or place to simply enjoy the outlook, it’s a room that adapts easily to your lifestyle.

The heart of the home is undoubtedly the open-plan kitchen, dining, and living space. This is a room designed for both everyday family life and entertaining, subtly divided by a striking bio-ethanol fireplace that adds warmth and atmosphere while keeping the space open and social.

The bespoke kitchen has been custom-made and fitted with quality firmly in mind. Solid marble-effect worktops, integrated Bosch appliances, twin ovens, induction hob, and a statement Rangemaster American-style fridge/freezer make this a kitchen that’s as enjoyable to cook in as it is to look at. Everything is positioned to be practical, intuitive, and sociable - perfect for hosting friends or spending time together as a family.

Flowing naturally from the dining area, the living space is warm, inviting, and beautifully framed by a large picture window overlooking the Gover Valley. The fireplace becomes a true focal point here, creating a cosy atmosphere while still allowing the views to take centre stage.

The bedroom accommodation is cleverly separated, offering privacy and calm away from the main living areas. The principal suite feels more like a luxury hotel retreat than a bedroom. Sliding doors open directly onto the decked seating outside, allowing you to step straight out and enjoy the fresh air. The walk-in dressing room, complete with bespoke storage and a skylight, leads through to a stunning en-suite bathroom featuring a freestanding cast-iron bath, twin basins, a large walk-in rainfall shower, and dramatic polished marble flooring - indulgent, but also beautifully functional.

There are four further double bedrooms, all generously sized and flexible enough to suit family, guests, or home-working needs. One benefits from its own en-suite shower room, while the remaining rooms are served by additional well-appointed facilities, including a utility/shower room and a stylish cloakroom - ideal for busy households or hosting visitors.

Outside, the lifestyle offering continues. On the western side of the property, raised decked seating areas provide the perfect place to relax, dine, or entertain while enjoying far-reaching views across the town and up the Gover Valley. These spaces are ideal for summer evenings, gatherings with friends, or simply unwinding at the end of the day.

Adjoining the bungalow is a useful external store, which offers excellent potential to be converted into a home office, studio, or additional living space, subject to the necessary consents - a great option for those needing flexibility in the future.

This is a home that delivers not just on finish, but on how it feels to live in. Stylish yet comfortable, impressive yet practical, and designed to suit modern life in every way
