A wonderful opportunity to purchase this delightful semi-detached property situated in an elevated position within the riverside village of Malpas enjoying breathtaking waterside views.
The property, known as ‘The Look Out’ is approached via a private road with a pedestrian right of way over the neighbouring property with a gravelled pathway leading to the front door. Upon viewing ‘The Look Out’, you cannot help but stop to take in the glorious panoramic river views with rolling countryside as a backdrop making this a truly unique property to call home.
For those seeking a peaceful environment to live, then it would be hard to find a better location with the added benefit of having the city centre amenities just a few minutes driving distance away. Upon entering the property, with its feature open glass oak staircase, access is gained to a ground floor cloakroom, utility room, fitted kitchen and dining room where the river views can be appreciated. Up a half-flight of stairs is the lounge which has sliding double glazed doors taking you onto a raised balcony maximising the delightful outlook, while a further staircase leads to three bedrooms and a family bathroom. Throughout, the accommodation benefits from uPVC double glazed windows and doors and Economy 7 electric heating system as well as solar panels.
Externally, meandering pathways take you through a mature, well-stocked garden with a good range of shrubs and trees which gives access to a detached workshop as well as a self-contained chalet which would be ideal for visiting family and friends. The rear garden, although sloped, is laid mainly to grass with a perfect sitting area at the top taking in the panoramic waterside views. Detached from the property is an en-bloc garage.
Malpas Village is located a short distance from Truro city centre. It enjoys a tranquil, sheltered setting overlooking the water, therefore, extremely popular with water sports enthusiasts. With its safe anchorage and mooring facilities accessing both Truro and Tresillian rivers, it is a unique setting with regular pleasure boats in summer and is in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The area has an array of wildlife being feeding grounds for many birds with a delightful riverside walk taking you to the picturesque hamlet of St Clements. The village is also home to the ever-popular Heron Inn offering locally sourced food and enjoying an excellent reputation.
Truro itself is the main centre in Cornwall for business and commerce with its meandering cobbled streets, there is a variety of well-known high street stores sat alongside bespoke local shops making this a popular destination for locals and visitors alike. It is famed for its neo-gothic three spired cathedral, local parks and the Hall for Cornwall situated on the piazza. Further afield, the maritime town of Falmouth is approximately fifteen miles distant with its excellent sailing waters, while to the north, coastal villages of Perranporth and Portreath are within a reasonable commute with their majestic clifftop walks and surfing beaches.
