Location
Devoran is a creekside village that boasts a rich and fascinating history. Once a farming settlement, it became a busy port for a period in the 19th century where ore was loaded from the railway onto boats. By the 1840's wharves, boatyards, repair shops and housing has been built along the creek from Devoran to Point. Today Devoran is an altogether quieter place in which to live. It is popular for its quaint pub, and for the scenic walks and cycle paths along the long since redundant tramways, which run coast to coast along the Bissoe Trail.

The shop/Post Office, school, doctors surgery and amenities of Carnon Downs are approximately 1.5 miles away and will cater for more daily requirements. The village sits alongside the A39 which means that the larger town of Falmouth with its wide range of schooling, shopping, recreational and commercial facilities, including the Penryn campus, is within a 6 mile drive, and the County town of Truro with its magnificent Cathedral at its heart is 5 miles distant. For those travelling further afield the A30 is approx. 6½ miles away at Chiverton Cross. For many it will be the close proximity of some of the finest sailing waters in the world that will be the enchantment of this location because the nearby Restronguet Passage opens up and into the Carrick Roads.

Oustide area
Outside in addition to a useful detached store and boiler house is a detached former stable currently used for garaging. The remainder of the 0.2 acre plot is currently set out to extensive level parking with wide gates opening directly onto Chapel Hill.
