Description
Offered at auction, this six-bedroom semi-detached cottage in a convenient St Austell location has been in the same availability for many years and is presented as a refurbishment project. The listing describes a characterful interior with traditional features and scope for modernisation, giving a purchaser the opportunity to rework the house to suit their needs.
The property is set behind a driveway with off-street parking and has a generous garden. The listing also notes views towards Gribben Head and St Austell Bay, and suggests the grounds may suit smallholding use. Local amenities and transport links are described as accessible nearby.
The sale is by the Modern Method of Auction, with a 56-day reservation period. A buyer information pack is available for a stated fee, and the successful bidder is liable for a non-refundable reservation fee in addition to the purchase price. Buyers should review the auction terms and pack before bidding.

Grade ELow opportunity
Confidence: LOW
At £180,000, this six-bedroom cottage offers a substantial project with character, a driveway and covered parking, and a generous garden with sea views towards Gribben Head and St Austell Bay. The interior needs a heavy, whole-house programme: staining, worn finishes and dated fittings show across several rooms, while the kitchen and bathroom areas also need attention. The overgrown garden and weathered exterior add scope to reshape the setting, though the cause and extent of the interior damage need inspection and the roof condition cannot be confirmed from the photos.
The score is E (45/100), reflecting weak investability for the scale of work, alongside good fundamentals and location. Floor area is missing, so value versus local £/sqf cannot be judged yet; the price/value score is therefore neutral rather than a finding that the asking price is dear or cheap.
Key opportunities
- Rework the characterful interior across its multiple living spaces and bedrooms to create a cohesive home suited to the next owner's needs.
- Replace the visibly old, incomplete-looking kitchen units and refresh the dated bathroom and separate WC areas as part of a broader redesign.
- Clear and rework the generous garden, making the most of the sea views, driveway and covered parking.
Key risks
- Extensive staining, worn finishes and damaged surfaces across several rooms point to a heavy full-interior programme; plan for a substantial rebuild of finishes and fittings rather than a cosmetic refresh.
- The cause and extent of the visible staining and damage require inspection; the weathered rear elevation and moss or growth on the roof covering also warrant checks, as roof condition cannot be confirmed from the photos.
