About this home
The Property
Occupying an exceptional west-facing plot within one of Truro’s most established residential neighbourhoods, this spacious detached family home enjoys far-reaching views across the city and surrounding countryside, generous and flexible family accommodation, and a beautiful 100ft long garden that is rarely found within walking distance of the city centre.
The property originates from 1954 and has been thoughtfully adapted over the years to create a home that works equally well for everyday family life as it does for entertaining. A welcoming entrance hall provides an immediate sense of space and connects the principal ground floor rooms.
At the heart of the home is a contemporary kitchen fitted with a comprehensive range of modern cabinetry, generous worktop space, integrated appliances and a central peninsula that naturally becomes the hub of the house. The kitchen also benefits from direct internal access to the garage, adding everyday practicality. This room flows effortlessly into the garden room, creating a bright additional reception space that captures the afternoon and evening sun before opening directly onto the landscaped terrace. Together these spaces create a wonderful connection between the house and garden, making the most of the property’s superb aspect and views.
The separate lounge offers a comfortable retreat, while an additional dedicated home office provides an ideal space for those working remotely or simply requiring a quiet place to work from home.
Also on the ground floor is a versatile fourth bedroom served by a spacious shower room opposite, offering excellent flexibility for guests, dependent relatives or those seeking predominantly single-level living.
Upstairs are three further double bedrooms, all enjoying the best of the far reaching outlook to the rear, with the principal bedroom benefitting from its own en-suite shower room. The spacious family bathroom is fitted with both a bath and a separate walk-in shower, providing a practical and well-designed space for busy family life.
Whilst the house offers generous and flexible accommodation throughout, it is the outside space that truly sets this home apart. Immediately behind the house, a beautifully landscaped terrace provides an ideal place to relax throughout the afternoon and into the evening whilst taking in the far-reaching views across Truro and the surrounding countryside. Beyond, the garden extends well away from the house to around 100ft, creating a substantial relatively level lawn bordered by mature planting that offers both privacy and an exceptional amount of outdoor space for families which is particularly rare when being so close to the city.
To the front of the property there is an area of front garden creating a green barrier from the road, generous driveway parking for several vehicles together with an integral single garage with up and over door to the front.
Extending to around 1,800 sq.ft, this is a home that offers an exceptional balance of space, flexibility and outdoor living, all within walking distance of Truro city centre and excitingly available with no onward chain.
