An interesting and unique family home, built around 1910 and which for the last 62 years has been in the same family ownership.

The property was extensively refurbished in 2006 with a programme of improvements that were overseen by local Chartered Surveyors including a replacement chimney stack, a new re-tiled roof and insulation, majority of windows being replaced with double glazing and garden landscaping including the extensive brick paved parking area to the front.

The property is now in need of further enhancement and improvement, such as the upgrading of kitchens, bathrooms and decoration.

Many original features have been retained adding to the character and style of this unique home, where the cavernous proportions and layout combine to make this a very adaptable home.

Entered at ground floor level through a spacious hallway with its own impressive fireplace, there are three reception rooms (two of which have curved bay windows with intricate leaded glass fan lights), two bedrooms, breakfast room, kitchen, large walk in pantry, bathroom, separate WC and a small garden room.

Once used by a family member as a flat, there are three further bedrooms to the first floor, together with a spacious sitting room, kitchen/utility, bathroom and WC. In addition to this there are two walk-in loft storage areas.

Hidden from the road behind fencing and mature hedging, the property is fronted by a large brick paved driveway.

To the immediate rear with a southerly aspect are large landscaped gardens at the bottom of which is a detached double garage together with driveway parking for two.

Enviably located on, and set back from Truro’s finest thoroughfare, this detached home enjoys a high degree of privacy thanks largely to the mature gardens. It also has the convenience of being within walking distance of the City centre where there is a vast array of shops, banks, the mainline Paddington – Penzance railway, health facilities and the majestic Cathedral. The position is ideal for those travelling within and out of the area due to its location, just below the A390/A39 junction. The university campus of Tremough (Penryn) is approximately 9 miles away with the historic bustling port of Falmouth 5 miles further on. St Austell is within 15 miles to the east, Newquay airport, towns and beaches is 20 miles to the north and Royal Cornwall Hospital is 2 miles to the west. The A30 at Chiverton Cross is approximately 5 miles to the west and the popular family and surfing beach of Perranporth is approximately 10 miles distant.
