About this home

Tucked away at the end of a private driveway, Lemon Gardens is an exclusive development of just eight detached homes, built to an exceptionally high standard by Blue Cedar Homes in 2015. Set within a peaceful and leafy environment, this hidden gem enjoys a prime position within walking distance of Truro city centre, the local church, Health Park and The Thomas Daniell, one of the area's most highly regarded gastropubs.

Designed specifically for the over-65s, Lemon Gardens offers an enviable lifestyle combining tranquillity, security and convenience. Surrounded by beautifully landscaped communal gardens and mature trees, residents can enjoy a peaceful setting whilst remaining close to all the amenities, culture, restaurants and shopping that Cornwall's vibrant cathedral city has to offer.

This impeccably presented detached home is beautifully maintained throughout and offers light-filled, well-balanced accommodation arranged over two floors. The welcoming entrance hall leads to a spacious lounge/dining room, providing ample space for both comfortable seating and formal dining. The modern fitted kitchen is well-equipped with a generous range of cupboards and work surfaces, together with integrated appliances including a fridge/freezer and dishwasher. There is also space for a freestanding washing machine and an internal door providing access to the garage. A versatile ground floor double bedroom offers flexibility as either guest accommodation or an additional reception room. Completing the ground floor is a stylish shower room.

To the first floor are two further double bedrooms. The principal bedroom benefits from an en-suite bathroom featuring both a bath and separate shower cubicle. Designed for convenience, the bathroom can also be accessed directly from the landing via Jack-and-Jill doors. The second bedroom enjoys the added benefit of a generous walk-in wardrobe.

Further features include double glazing and gas-fired central heating, with underfloor heating to the ground floor. Constructed in 2015, the property offers the energy efficiency and low maintenance benefits associated with a modern home.

Externally, a neat block-paved driveway provides parking and leads to the attached garage, which benefits from a remote-controlled up-and-over door, power, lighting and a rear access door to the garden.

The front garden is attractively landscaped with a variety of mature plants and shrubs, creating a welcoming approach to the property. To the rear, an enclosed garden enjoys a good degree of privacy and features a lawn, paved patio, flower borders and an outside water supply, providing the perfect space to relax and enjoy the Cornish sunshine. A side gate offers convenient access to the garden.

A viewing is essential to appreciate the location and standard of accommodation on offer.
