We've tightened what earns a Pursue. A home now needs a published valuation, a strategy that still makes money after real running costs and lender stress tests, and no listing problems that would stop a mortgage. You'll see fewer Pursues, and each one has been checked harder.

About
What We Love What sets this home apart is the quality of the refurbishment — Karndean flooring, integrated NEFF appliances, a Belfast sink, and a genuine four-piece bathroom suite are the kind of specification details that speak for themselves.
The principal bedroom's dressing room and en-suite give real separation from the other bedrooms, and the pair of bi-folding door sets in the living room and kitchen/diner make the most of the rear garden and the open countryside beyond.
The garden itself has been given real thought too, with a vegetable patch and barbecue area alongside the lawn and patio, and the detached garage with power and lighting adds useful, everyday practicality.
For a family wanting space, specification and a genuinely rural outlook without leaving town, this is a strong combination.
Property Description The current owners have undertaken a sympathetic refurbishment of this detached home, finished to a high specification throughout.
The result combines traditional features with contemporary updates, giving spacious, versatile accommodation of approximately 1,575 sq ft, together with views over open countryside to the rear.
The entrance hall has stained glass detailing to the original door and Karndean flooring, with doors leading to the principal living spaces and the staircase to the first floor.
The living room has a circular double glazed bay window, a solid fuel burner, and bi-folding doors opening onto the rear garden.
This connects through to the kitchen/diner, fitted with a range of wall and base units, an integrated NEFF double oven, induction hob, fridge and dishwasher, and a bar area with a drinks cooler and sink.
Bi-folding doors open from here to the garden, and there is ample space for a dining table.
The adjoining utility room has an integrated oven, dishwasher and freezer, a Belfast sink, plumbing for laundry appliances, and its own door to the garden.
A ground floor cloakroom with WC and wash basin completes the lower floor. On the first floor, the landing leads to three bedrooms and a family bathroom.
The principal bedroom overlooks the rear garden and open countryside, an open dressing room with floor-to-ceiling wardrobes, and an en-suite shower room.
Bedroom two, also to the rear, has a wash basin. Bedroom three has a circular double-glazed bay window.
The luxury family bathroom is fitted with a four-piece suite comprising a bath, a separate double shower, a vanity wash basin and a WC.
Outside, the front of the property has off road parking for several vehicles, set behind established planting. To the side is an elevated planting bed, a vegetable patch and a barbecue area.
The rear garden has a patio with views over open countryside, with steps down to a lawned area and access to a detached garage with power and lighting.
The property is within walking distance of St Austell town centre and local schools, with Charlestown and Pentewan beaches a short drive away.
Area Summary Sawles Road sits within easy reach of St Austell town, with its shops, mainline train station, supermarkets and everyday amenities, while backing onto open countryside for a quieter outlook.
Local schools are within walking distance, making this a practical choice for families.
The coast is close by too, with the harbour village of Charlestown and the beach at Pentewan both a short drive away, alongside the wider attractions of Cornwall's south coast.
Road links via the A390 and A30 give good access across the county, while St Austell's mainline station connects along the Cornish main line for those needing to travel further afield.
