Property Description - Millerson Estate Agents are privileged to present this truly magnificent Grade II Listed Georgian townhouse - an elegant and commanding residence tucked away along a peaceful, secluded pathway, and yet only moments from the vibrant centre of historic St Austell. This outstanding home offers the perfect blend of period charm, generous proportions and modern-day convenience, making it a rare and special opportunity for those seeking timeless character within a prime town centre location.

Originally dating back to the Georgian era, the property showcases a wealth of original architectural features, lovingly preserved by the current owners. From the moment you step inside, the grandeur and craftsmanship of this home is immediately evident. The entrance hall, both wide and welcoming, leads into a series of beautifully proportioned reception rooms, each brimming with period detailing such as high ceilings, ornate picture rails, dado rails, sash windows, original window shutters and working cast iron fireplaces. Wooden floorboards run underfoot, further enhancing the traditional warmth and charm of the space.

The heart of the home is a bespoke kitchen, thoughtfully designed with a central island unit and ample workspace, seamlessly combining style and functionality. This flows through to a practical inner hallway, utility room, and a convenient downstairs shower room, ensuring the property meets all the demands of contemporary living while retaining its historic identity.

Upstairs, the spacious split-level galleried landing is flooded with natural light thanks to an exquisite original curved window. The first floor offers four exceptionally well-sized bedrooms, each room offering its own distinctive character and appeal. A large family bathroom, complete with a striking cast iron freestanding bath, and is complemented by an additional shower room and separate WC. A staircase rises to the second floor, where a charming attic room with wooden flooring offers potential as a fifth bedroom, home office, creative space or tranquil reading nook.

Externally, the property enjoys a rare and beautifully private front garden, exceptionally large for a home so close to the town centre. Lovingly landscaped, the garden features a rich tapestry of mature plants, shrubs and trees, including flourishing camellias, graceful acers and a stately eucalyptus, creating a peaceful haven away from the hustle and bustle. A delightful sunroom, complete with light and power, offers the perfect spot to enjoy the garden in all seasons, while a shed provides useful storage.

To the rear, there is a practical work store. Unusually for a central location, the property also benefits from two further tarmacked off-street parking spaces, located directly opposite the entrance to Elm Terrace.

Location - The property is located within walking distance of St Austell town centre which offers a wide range of shopping, coffee shops, restaurants and local leisure centre. It is situated within the catchment area of the local primary school of Mount Charles and secondary schools of Penrice and Poltair Academies. St Austell has a mainline railway station providing direct access to London Paddington and Penzance. The picturesque harbour at Charlestown is only a short drive and has been used as the setting for numerous period dramas and films including The Eagle Has Landed, Mansfield Park and Poldark, and remains popular due to the fabulous setting and quality dining. The area is also home to the breathtaking Lost Gardens of Heligan and of course the world famous Eden Project.
