3 bed semi-detached house for sale

Trecarne Close, St. Austell PL25

Some homes surprise you once you step through the door. With this one, the real surprise is waiting at the back.

Set within a popular residential part of St Austell, this three-bedroom semi-detached home combines comfortable, well-presented accommodation with what is undoubtedly its standout feature - a fantastic south-facing rear garden that offers considerably more space and privacy than you might expect.

It's the kind of garden that genuinely changes how you use a home.

Generous, enclosed and enjoying a sunny southerly aspect, there's plenty of lawn for children and pets, alongside a patio for outdoor dining, barbecues or simply sitting out at the end of the day. The size gives you room to create different areas over time, whether that's additional planting, a larger entertaining space, children's play equipment or even a garden room, subject to any necessary permissions.

Importantly, despite its size, the garden also feels remarkably private. With established boundaries and very little sense of being overlooked, it creates a peaceful outdoor space that's becoming increasingly difficult to find in this price bracket.

Inside, the accommodation is straightforward, bright and easy to live in.

The main living and dining room extends for more than 21 feet, creating a sociable space with room for both comfortable seating and a full dining table. A window at the front draws in plenty of natural light, while French doors at the opposite end open directly onto the garden. During the warmer months, having the doors open creates a natural flow between the house, patio and lawn beyond.

The kitchen sits alongside and provides a practical range of storage and worktop space, together with integrated fridge and freezer, oven and hob and plumbing for a washing machine. A further door opens directly onto the rear garden, while a ground-floor cloakroom adds another useful everyday feature.

Upstairs are three bedrooms.

The principal bedroom is a particularly comfortable double, while the second bedroom has something a little unexpected - elevated views across St Austell and towards the coastline beyond. The third bedroom provides useful flexibility as a child's room, nursery or home office.

The family bathroom has been modernised and features a contemporary suite with a p-shaped bath and rainfall shower above, alongside useful built-in storage.

Outside, the front of the property provides generous off-road parking, with an additional stone-chipped area creating further usable space. Gated side access leads through to the rear garden, making it particularly practical for families, pets and garden maintenance.

Gas-fired central heating, double glazing and an EPC rating of C complete the practical side of the property.

The location makes everyday life straightforward, with schools, supermarkets and St Austell town centre all within easy reach. For weekends and evenings, the south Cornish coastline is equally accessible, with Charlestown, Carlyon Bay and Porthpean all just a short drive away.

Ultimately, however, this is a home where the outside space deserves to be experienced in person.

There are plenty of three-bedroom homes available, but finding one with a genuinely large, private and south-facing garden is considerably harder.

For anyone wanting a comfortable family home with parking, good access to St Austell and an outdoor space they can properly enjoy, this one deserves a closer look
