Treverbyn Road, St. Austell, PL25

Three bedrooms doesn't always mean three-bedroom proportions.

And that's probably the first thing worth understanding about this detached home on Treverbyn Road.

Offering approximately 1,230 sq ft of accommodation, there's considerably more space behind the front door than you might initially expect — including a 22ft kitchen/diner, substantial separate lounge and a principal bedroom with both its own en-suite and a walk-in wardrobe.

It's a house designed around proper rooms rather than simply squeezing in a bedroom count.

Set away from a conventional housing estate and approached via a private lane, the property was built a little over a decade ago and combines the advantages of a relatively modern home with proportions that work particularly well for family life.

Step inside and even the entrance hall gives you an immediate sense of space.

Rather than walking straight into one of the main rooms, there's a proper central hallway connecting the ground floor, with useful understairs storage and a separate WC.

To one side is the lounge.

At approximately 18ft long, it's a substantial reception room with a dual-aspect arrangement bringing in natural light from both the front and side.

There's enough space here for generous family seating without having to make the room perform several different jobs at once.

That's because the social heart of the house sits separately across the rear.

And at more than 22ft long, the kitchen and dining room is arguably one of the property's strongest features.

The kitchen itself has a contemporary finish, with extensive cabinetry, contrasting work surfaces, double eye-level ovens, wine cooler and space for an American-style fridge/freezer.

But importantly, the kitchen doesn't dominate the entire room.

There's still a proper dining area alongside it, with additional fitted storage and enough space to sit around the table comfortably.

French doors then open directly onto the rear patio.

It's an arrangement that makes sense for everyday life.

Cooking at one end.

Everybody around the table at the other.

Doors open outside when the weather allows.

And a completely separate lounge to retreat to afterwards.

Alongside the kitchen is a dedicated utility room with its own external access, keeping laundry and the practical side of running a home away from the main living spaces.

Upstairs, the amount of accommodation continues to impress.

There are three bedrooms, but the real standout is the principal suite.

The bedroom itself is a generous double, but adjoining it is a walk-in wardrobe measuring approximately 8'4" x 5'8" — a proper separate dressing space rather than simply a fitted cupboard.

There's then a private en-suite shower room alongside it.

Together, those three spaces give the principal bedroom a sense of separation that you don't often find in a three-bedroom house.

The remaining two bedrooms are both well proportioned, with the third also benefiting from its own recessed wardrobe area.

A particularly generous family bathroom completes the first floor, with both a bath and separate shower.

And that's perhaps where the floorplan tells the story best.

Approximately 615 sq ft downstairs and another 615 sq ft upstairs.

There's very little wasted space and no obvious compromise simply to achieve three bedrooms.

Outside, the front of the property provides hardstanding parking for approximately three vehicles, another useful advantage for a family home.

Access continues around the side to the rear garden, which has been arranged with low-maintenance living in mind.

Rather than a garden demanding hours of work every weekend, there's a substantial patio with different areas for sitting outside, together with a small decked pergola area.

French doors from the kitchen/diner mean the outside space connects naturally with the part of the house where people are most likely to gather.

There's also a large adjoining store room, giving you useful space for bikes, tools, outdoor equipment and everything else that inevitably needs somewhere to go.

The position on Treverbyn Road is another important part of the appeal.

You're not buried within a large modern development, yet St Austell town centre is only a little over a mile away, with schools, supermarkets, transport links and everyday amenities all readily accessible.

For anyone regularly travelling further afield, the road connections towards the wider St Austell area and beyond are also straightforward.

But ultimately, it's the amount of house here that stands out.

Approximately 1,230 sq ft.

A 22ft kitchen/diner.

An 18ft separate lounge.

Three well-proportioned bedrooms.

A principal suite with its own walk-in wardrobe and en-suite.

And parking for three vehicles.

There are plenty of three-bedroom detached homes.

Far fewer give you three-bedroom practicality with this much actual space.

The property is offered for sale freehold.
