5 bed detached house for sale

Burngullow Lane, High Street, St Austell PL26

Station House offers an exciting opportunity for those looking for a spacious, detached family home in a rural location, offering enough land for several uses which could suit a keen gardener or those looking to grow their own produce.

The property also has a history of being run as a successful B&B Guesthouse. In the past, the property was a former Station Master’s house for Burngullow junction.

The property is approached from Burngullow Lane via a driveway which curves down towards the main part of the plot. A straight driveway leads to the house itself and offers ample parking provision on the right-hand side of the driveway and to the side and rear of the property.

The gardens are extensive with a poly tunnel and an area with the potential to grow own produce. There is also an area with potential for an ornamental garden and a large area of lawn leading to a south-westerly facing patio. To the rear of the property is further parking with a carport area, garage, workshop and studio which leads to an area where chickens are currently kept.

At the rear of the property there is a generous storm porch. From here, doors open to a utility porch and an outside WC. A rear door opens into the kitchen breakfast room which is generous in size and is fitted with a range of attractive modern units and appliances with ample worksurface space. A central island comprises the hob and provides a breakfast bar/seating area. There is also space for a breakfast table. A door opens to a storage cupboard adjacent to the staircase.

From the kitchen, a doorway flows through to the central hallway, which has doors leading off to the lounge, dining room/snug and reception/sunroom to the front which was used as a guest dining area when the property was run as a B&B. There is an adjacent room which could be used as an office/working for home space. The reception room/sunroom flows through to another large conservatory, which then leads to a conservatory/sunroom which runs along the side of the house, linking back to the kitchen. These sunrooms enjoy a southerly and westerly aspect and plenty of sunshine, offering a very pleasant reception space, particularly during winter months.

From the first-floor landing, doors open to the five bedrooms, four of which are doubles and two of which enjoy ensuite shower room facilities. There is a larger main shower room accompanied by a smaller shower room located centrally from the landing.

The property is double glazed and is served by an oil-fired central heating system. We understand the property has had a new roof fitted within the last few years.
