Kaolin House

Close to the heart of the vibrant coastal town of St Austell, this light and airy property has been beautifully decorated and elegantly furnished to provide a fantastic getaway to families and groups of friends with up to two dogs in tow. Enjoy the 0.5-mile walk to the town centre, where you’ll find a wide choice of places to eat and shop, as well as family attractions. Head to Cornwall’s historic seaside with a visit to Charlestown (1.5 miles) which looks across St Austell Bay. Here, enjoy a trip to the Shipwreck Treasure Museum and spot the famous tall ships moored up at the old quay which has featured in many films and TV shows. For sun-soaked beaches, choose from Porthpean (3 miles), Par Sands (7 miles) and plenty more. Major attractions nearby include the Eden Project, Lost Gardens of Heligan, and Tregrehan Garden (all within 7 miles).

Entering this bright and engaging retreat, find a stylishly furnished games room with comfortable sofas and a selection of board games. Exploring further and you’ll find a cheerful snug with a sofa bed that can sleep an additional adult or two extra children. The social heart of the home is the spacious, open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner. This wonderful room bathes in natural light thanks to the patio doors and large skylight overhead. Relax in the lounge, sinking into the large, L-shaped sofa as the Smart TV plays your favourite shows. When it’s time to eat, find that the chic and well-appointed kitchen contains everything needed to cook up a memorable group feast, and sit down at the stylish dining table, or if numbers are low, at the social breakfast bar. Completing the ground floor is a handy utility room and a family shower room to wash away the sand after days on the beach. Heading upstairs, you will find four airy and colourful bedrooms. Find two sumptuous double bedrooms at the front of the house and at the rear, another double bedroom and a flexible twin room, with sea views, that can be converted into a super-king on request. A family bathroom completes the interior.

Outside, the raised and paved terrace has ample outdoor furniture, providing a lovely space for everyone to bask in the sun and dine alfresco, long into the evening. Let little ones and pets play on the lawn, and further down, find an additional seating area with a handy BBQ. Private parking for three cars is also available.
