General Remarks And Location - This is an ideal property for those wanting to purchase a substantial period home in one of the most sought after parts of Truro and with huge scope to further improve and even extend. 22 Broad Street has been modernised and updated over the years and whilst ready to move into and fully mortgageable it is ideal for anyone wanting to sympathetically upgrade and combine contemporary living with a traditional period feel. The position of the house on the lower side of Broad Street is a particular asset as the long rear garden is entirely south facing and with remodelling or possible extension the living accommodation could benefit from a sunny aspect throughout the day. Indeed the garden on the south side of the house has been much cherished over the years and this has the rare attribute of independent access providing potential to create a parking area (subject to consent but precedent set already with adjacent properties).

This property is likely to appeal to a wide range of persons but especially a young couple or small family or even a single professional person working in the city and wanting a period home in a convenient location and with scope to improve. Early viewing is essential.

Broad Street is a turning off Mitchell Hill on the eastern edge of Truro City centre. It is a sought-after residential area and for those with a young family the acclaimed Archbishop Benson Primary School is literally just along the road. Indeed it is a very convenient location for access to the shopping centre where there is a considerable representation of national retail outlets as well as many individual and boutique shops and one of the nearest supermarkets being Waitrose less than a mile away.

Truro is essentially the capital workplace of the county. There are a number of both private and state schools. a main line railway link to London (Paddington) and plenty of leisure opportunities such as cricket club, tennis courts, gym clubs and a fab children centred pirate ship playground at nearby Boscawen Park. The Hall for Cornwall is also a popular venue providing all year round entertainment (currently undergoing refurbishment), there are various hospitals (Treliske, Duchy and Truro Health Park) and both County and Magistrates Courts (the latter just up the road from Broad Street). Other cultural facilities include the Royal Cornwall Museum and the historic Cathedral which usually feature regular concerts.

The House - The house is very much in its original form and has a number of traditional period features typical of its era. There are high ceilinged rooms, some exposed timber flooring, deep window bay, fireplaces and a turning stairway to the first floor. It is acknowledged some aspects of the property would benefit from upgrading but there is double glazing throughout and the bathroom has a recently replaced suite.

The house has scope to extend at the rear and possibly into the roof space, subject to any necessary consents.

Bedroom 2 - 2.37m x 3.20m (7'9" x 10'5") - with a range of full height fitted wardrobes. Large window affording a pleasant view over the rear garden.

Outside - Here lies the greatest potential with the house due to its south facing aspect and scope to extend. Currently there is a small shed integral with the building with plumbing for a washing machine. There is also an outside wc. These outhouses could perhaps be incorporated into the kitchen and so enabling a lovely outlook over the garden

A long GARDEN gently slopes at the back of the house towards the rear access road and is a warm south facing area which is both private and sheltered. A wisteria clad trellis arch with gravel and paved pathways lead to a circular paved centrepiece edged with borders for herbaceous planting and with a number of shrubs and trees providing maturity and interest. At the bottom of the garden there is a large timber GARDEN SHED and steps down to the road. Here there is potential to create a private parking space as many of the neighbours have already done.
There is a small concreted forecourt at the front of the property.
