Description
Sold with no onward chain, this three-bedroom semi-detached house is set in the village of Rescorla, between St Austell and Bugle. The accommodation has an existing practical layout and is described as requiring modernisation, offering scope for refurbishment and updating. The rear outlook is over open fields, and outside there is a garden and driveway parking.
Bugle provides everyday facilities including shops, a primary school, a public house and a railway station, while St Austell offers a wider range of services and amenities. The south Cornish coast and the Eden Project are also within reach. The property may suit buyers looking to take on a renovation project; any proposed changes would need to be assessed for feasibility.

71out of 100
Grade BGood opportunity
Confidence: MEDIUM
At £160,000, this three-bedroom semi is priced well below the local average per square foot, making it an attractive opportunity to acquire a substantial renovation canvas. The open-field outlook, garden, driveway and covered parking add useful appeal, while the dated interiors offer scope to reshape and modernise the home to suit a buyer’s plans.
This is a full-scale project rather than a cosmetic refresh: worn finishes and debris are visible in several rooms, and the stained, damaged ceiling section needs investigation before repair costs are settled. The kitchen and bathroom also need modernising, and the overgrown garden is ready for improvement. The existing works range is £55,000–£95,000, so careful budgeting and programme planning will matter.
Key opportunities
- Use the existing three-bedroom layout as a starting point for a comprehensive interior update, including a new kitchen, bathroom, finishes and flooring.
- Improve the overgrown garden to make better use of the open-field outlook, with driveway parking and covered parking already in place.
- Acquire at a asking price well below the local average per square foot, leaving scope to add value through the renovation.
Key risks
- Stripped-back, debris-strewn areas, worn finishes across several rooms and a £55,000–£95,000 works range make this a substantial budget and programme, not a cosmetic refresh.
- Investigate the cause and extent of the visible ceiling staining and open damaged section before finalising repair costs.
