A Rare Opportunity to Create Your Own Grand Design Home - Meadow View Barn – Rural St Austell*

An exceptional opportunity to create a truly bespoke, architect-designed contemporary residence, beautifully positioned within half an acre in an exclusive rural setting on the outskirts of St Austell. Extending to approximately 3,569 sq.ft, this striking residence offers an outstanding level of space, design and flexibility, with a rare “buy-to-build” arrangement allowing the purchaser to personalise key finishes including kitchen, bathrooms and flooring to their own specification.
