ACCOMMODATION SUMMARY

Thoughtfully extended and beautifully refitted by the current owners, this impressive four bedroom detached home on the popular Lovering Road development in Carclaze is a property that has been genuinely transformed. From a newly appointed kitchen and luxuriously upgraded bathrooms to a substantial rear extension that opens the ground floor into a wonderful entertaining space, every improvement has been made with care, quality and modern family living firmly in mind. The result is a home that feels both fresh and considered throughout, a rare combination that is immediately apparent the moment you step inside.

The entrance hall sets the tone: generous in scale and welcoming in feel, with doors leading naturally to the lounge, kitchen and ground floor WC. The living room is a superb space and an impressive size, filled with light from a large bay window, and a feature fireplace. Double doors draw the eye through to the extended dining room beyond, creating a flowing, open plan entertaining space that works equally well for relaxed family evenings and hosting friends. French doors from the dining room open directly onto the side patio, making summer entertaining effortless and the transition between inside and outside entirely seamless. A practical utility room sits at the far end of the dining space, providing neatly concealed storage and plumbing for white goods.

The kitchen is finished to a high standard, offering a full range of fitted units and integrated appliances alongside space for a table and chairs, making it as comfortable for the morning school run as it is for a Sunday morning breakfast. A ground floor WC with hand basin completes the ground floor accommodation.

Upstairs, four bedrooms and a family bathroom are arranged across the first floor. The principal bedroom is a spacious room, benefiting from fitted wardrobes and an en-suite shower room with WC, hand basin and shower unit. Bedroom two is a further double with fitted wardrobes and a rear facing window, while bedroom three is also a comfortable double overlooking the rear garden. Bedroom four, currently used as a home office, could equally serve as a single bedroom or nursery.

Outside, the property reveals one of its most distinctive and appealing features, a tiered rear garden that has been cleverly designed to make the most of the plot. A patio area adjoins the property and extends behind the kitchen, providing a level and practical outdoor space for everyday use. Steps rise to a raised deck that catches the last of the evening sun and commands elevated views over the town which is a wonderful spot to unwind with a glass of something cold at the end of the day. An astro turfed area with a balustrade overlooking the lower deck sits at the top of the garden, while the lower deck is perfectly positioned for outdoor dining and evening entertaining. To the front, two parking spaces on a paved driveway are supplemented by a further space in front of the single garage.

Please note: The garage is held on a leasehold basis. The development is managed by a management company and a restrictive covenant applies that caravans are not permitted on the driveway.

WHAT WE LOVE

"What makes this house stand out is the work the current owners have put in and the taste with which they've done it. The kitchen and bathrooms are genuinely luxurious, the extension has transformed the ground floor into a proper entertaining space, and yet the home still feels warm and liveable rather than clinical. The living room with its bay window and fireplace has real character, the French doors from the dining room make summer evenings a genuine pleasure, and that raised deck with its views over the town catching the last of the sun is the kind of outdoor space people spend years looking for. This is a home that has been loved into its best possible version."

LOCATION — CARCLAZE, ST AUSTELL

A well-connected address with everything close at hand

Lovering Road sits within the established residential area of Carclaze, one of St Austell's most popular and convenient neighbourhoods. Set on elevated ground above the town, the area offers a pleasant and settled residential character while remaining within easy walking distance of St Austell town centre and all of the everyday amenities it provides. For families in particular, the combination of good local schools, nearby parks and easy access to both town and countryside makes Carclaze a consistently sought-after choice.

The Cornish coast — closer than you think

One of the great advantages of a Carclaze address is the proximity to some of Cornwall's finest coastal scenery. The beach at Carlyon Bay, a long stretch of south-facing sand is just a short drive away, as are the beautiful fishing harbours of Charlestown and Mevagissey. Charlestown in particular is a gem: a Georgian mining port and UNESCO World Heritage Site with tall ships in the harbour, independent restaurants and a distinctly cinematic quality that makes it unlike anywhere else in the county. The South West Coast Path is accessible nearby for those who want to explore the Cornish clifftops on foot.

Local attractions and outdoor life

The Eden Project, one of the world's most celebrated visitor attractions, is just a short drive from Carclaze and sits within the remarkable china clay landscape that defines this part of Cornwall. The Lost Gardens of Heligan, the Clay Trails cycling network, Tregrehan Gardens and the broader network of Cornish walking routes all lie within easy reach, ensuring that life here offers no shortage of things to see, do and explore.

Getting around

St Austell's mainline railway station is within easy reach of Lovering Road and offers regular services to Truro, Plymouth and London Paddington, making this a practical base even for those who travel regularly. The A390 connects easily into the town centre and links westward towards Truro and eastward towards Lostwithiel and Liskeard, while the A30, Cornwall's main arterial route is accessible via the A391, providing straightforward connections across the county and beyond.
