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.
