Why You'll Like It
This beautiful character Cornish cottage was substantially updated and remodelled in 2015 by the current owners. The internal space has been comprehensively re-designed to suit modern living and a great deal of thought and imagination has resulted in a surprisingly spacious home with abundant storage. Major works were undertaken including internal and external insulation including under the floor and the addition of under floor heating to the ground floor all adding to the practicality of the cottage.The cottage is a three bedroom middle terrace character home with large gardens to the front and rear and rear access via a lane to the garage and carport. There are lovely river views from the front facing rooms and great attention to internal detail including sensible placement of lighting and switches etc. The property has a mains gas central heating boiler which runs the hot water and heating with zoned under floor heating. There's a gas fired AGA for cooking (with electric oven and gas hob also) and in the living room there's a cosy wood burner.Whether you are looking for a forever home, retirement downsize or city bolthole this versatile cottage must be viewed.

Where It Is

Truro has a fantastic array of shops, bars and restaurants as well as being home to The Hall For Cornwall state of the art theatre, Royal Cornwall Museum and the splendid Neo-Gothic Truro Cathedral. Boscawen Park is beautifully maintained and planted with spectacular flower beds and large expanses of open space. There are sports facilities with excellent tennis courts, table tennis tables, canoe club, children's play equipment and sports pitches as well as a choice of cafés. From Boscawen Park the riverside walk goes to Malpas (via Truro Cricket Club and Sunny Corner) where The Heron Inn is a waterside pub with a super view or you can follow the trail further to St Clements and Tresillian. Between Trennick Row and the city centre The Old Bakery provides a cultural hub with artists studios, exhibitions, concerts and various classes on offer. There is a choice of local primary and secondary schools at this end of the city including Truro School which is close by.
